Psalm 139

Date: 2016.05.03 | Category: Generating Hope | Response: 5

Psalm 139 has always been a favorite psalm of mine.  I love the parts about God knitting you together in your mother’s womb (v.13), and being intricately woven together in the depths of the earth (v.15).  It’s amazing to think about each one of us being “custom wired” so-to-speak.  It’s even more special now that God has “re-knit” Levi with a part of his intricately woven mother!

Today verse 16 really struck me, “All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”  This is just downright mind-boggling to think about.  13,413 days ago I came into this world.  A short 46 days later Tammy was born.  It took 5,822 days for God to bring us together.  We were married in another 2,082 days and had Levi 2,113 days after that.  Fast forward another 3,343 days and God has used a part one creation to sustain another.

That’s a lot of days, and to think, God knew what would happen on each one of them!  Verse 6, could not be more true, “Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.”  If God has been beside us on each of these days as it says in verses 7-12, how can we not trust him with all of our tomorrows?

Lego Kidney and Nurse Bait

Date: 2016.05.02 | Category: Generating Hope | Response: 0

Levi was the most popular kid on A4N today thanks to a couple great Aunts and Uncles!  You probably saw the pictures of the Lego kidney that Aaron put together.  Not only did Levi and Dad enjoy putting it together, but it was a hit among all the doctors, nurses, social workers, and everyone that came in!  We had people coming in just to look at it and take a picture.  Levi impressed a room full of doctors and nurses on rounds when one of them asked them to name a part of the kidney and he said, “That’s the ureter!” without hesitation!

Aaron you might have to quit your day job and go into business!  The nurses were requesting livers, intestines, and all the other organs!  Several people took pictures to send to the “Child Life Specialists”, the folks who coordinate all the activities for the kids, games, clowns, magicians, etc.  They were floored that someone came up with this idea on their own.  Thank you so much for such a thoughtful gift!

The other reason Levi made so many friends was his “Nurse Bait” that Aunt Alyssa gave him, a basket of candy to keep the nurses coming back.  He had extra nurses and doctors throughout the day, and really made friends when we moved it out to the front desk.  The nurses all enjoyed it so much Alyssa!

Thank you both for making it a fun day!
