Believing for David: Home

Home

This post is a bit late... but it was a full day yesterday and the day before... and no time to write. On Thursday, I got a chance to go home for a quick overnight trip. As you can imagine, it was a little odd to see my house and all of the stuff in it after 5 weeks. It seemed as if I had just left for a few minutes. It was good to be able to go and I got to grab a few things I had really been missing! :)

In the morning before we left, I felt blessed to see my incredible friends, whom I have loved and learned from, over the last 3 years! It was surreal to see some of their kids and just chat like we have so many times before. I have to tell you that they put together the most beautiful quilt for David, it brought me to tears. It's personalized with his name, bible verses and little notes, AND best of all it fits great over his incubator! I am honored, thank you.

David had a rough day and night on Friday with oxygen and heart rate drops. He did much better last night and today is starting off good. Continue to ask for God's favor in this area, most preemies take a while to get over these issues. Also pray for Joel as he heads home today, for safety and peace.

Crystal, Joel and Anna,
Congratulations to you, Mom had told me of his arrival, but I had no idea what you were going through. I am so sorry. I love that you named him David. Tell my brother I said hi. I know that your whole world is encompassed within the thoughts of your children right now. It is all very surreal, but it is real. You are such a beautiful family and I will be praying for you and keeping updated on the progress. God has chosen you and Joel for David, because you are good,strong people. Love you all, bless you.

Yea for friends! So glad you got to see some familiar surroundings for a change of pace. The quilt looks great and I'm sure David appreciates the love that went into producing it. Now he really is covered in prayer!

Psalm 46

¹ God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.

² Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

³ though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.
Selah

⁴ There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.

⁵ God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.

⁶ Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.

⁷ The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Selah

⁸ Come and see the works of the LORD,
the desolations he has brought on the earth.

⁹ He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth;
he breaks the bow and shatters the spear,
he burns the shields ^b]">[b] with fire.

¹⁰ "Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."

¹¹ The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Selah
