Therefore when the trial comes (and often remains), we understand that while in the trial we are being firmly held in His wise and loving arms. As the trial humbles us, it manifests a weakness in us that causes us to cast a greater dependence on Him. We are forever weaned of our self-sufficiency and our self-reliance and learn to trust in His resources and not our own. God provides perfectly measured, sufficient grace (His divine assistance through the Holy Spirit) enabling us to remain in the trial with our faith intact. We are enabled to depend more on His strength and not our own. And we are enabled to trust Him for the working of Christlikeness in our lives (Jas. 1:2-4).

Friends:
 
We felt that Deanna's insight into what we call "targeted" or "strategic" praying was worthy of sending on to you as you join us in continued praying for baby Nicole and Deanna (and all the family, of course).
 
If you haven't seen the pictures of our kids, you can find them along with all our family at http://community.webshots.com/user/01lum.  Then click on the Family album.  Other albums are also there for your viewing.
 
Thanks again for you continued prayer support.
 
Bob and Jo Ann

Subject: additional request for Nicole

First of all, thank you all for praying and continuing to do so – and thank you for the e-mails of encouragement concerning this time in our lives.  For those of you who feel led to do so, we would also ask that in addition to continuing to pray fervently for God’s intervention in Nicole’s body that you also include a period(s) of fasting also.  I’ve been awake since 3:30 this morning (got woke up by our almost 4 year old) and as I prayed most of that time, felt strongly impressed to ask you to do so.

 

There have been several updates over the last month, so I’ll briefly re-cap her needs.

 

1). The correct forming (or re-forming) and functioning of her heart

 

2). For amniotic fluid levels to remain where they currently are or even increase

 

3).  For me not to go into labor here before getting to St. Louis before the scheduled time for delivery.

 

4). For totally positive ultrasounds and NST’s (have not yet had a positive NST and it’s driving our local doctor nuts) between now and delivery – we’ll have 2 a week.

 

5). For the post-birth testing regarding the un-detectable portion of the brain (the cavum something of the corpus collosum) and any chromosomal defects to return favorable results

 

6).  For a safe delivery and wisdom for the ICU care-givers as they determine any needs the Lord chooses to meet through their abilities rather than supernaturally.

 

7.) For Nicole to continue to grow and thrive, for organs to mature and develop as needed both in the womb and after birth.

 

8).  That our lap-top computer will get fixed and returned to us before leaving for St. Louis so that we can communicate with family across the world while in St. Louis.

 

Thanks again,

 

Deanna, Jim,

Michael, JoyLinn and Nicole
