Urinary Tracts and a faithful God

So you, my dear ones, are so faithful. You are so faithfully praying, encouraging, coming up with ideas to help us, and just so faithfully loving.

And even when we, mankind, fall short of it. He is faithful. For He cannot deny Himself. Is that not so very reassuring?

So when I question sickness for my little boy AGAIN, I remember that He says

“my ways are not your ways, nor are my thoughts your thoughts”

Abba is gracious and gives glorious sunsets on long road trips. So thankful;)

So when I question where on EARTH so much money can come from…when there are SO MANY needs the whole world over, I remember Holy’s question to man when Holy was questioned

“Where were YOU when I laid the earth’s foundations? Tell me, if you understand”

Truth is, I was not there. And if He, my Abba Father, was there when the earth’s foundations were laid…wait…even more so….He was there because HE actually laid them!

If this “foundation of the earth Maker” is my Heavenly Daddy, and if He keeps this earth rotating on its axis…

And if He keeps this earth revolving around that sun, day after day.

And if He is the same one who says “I will NEVER leave you nor forsake you”

And if He says “Do not worry about ANYthing but GIVE THANKS”

Then what have I to fear?

If He cares for the magnificent splendor of galaxies and orbiting planets…

And finds me just as magnificent…

I can rest in His faithfulness and His perfection

this man, my man, amazes me and disarms me. the way he loves us and his Abba Father…it is breathtaking.

So, all that to say…thank you.

Thank you, Abba.

Thank you, dear readers/friends/family/loves

enjoying some time outside before the voyage

lots of pit stops needed for this little guy on a road trip

We arrived at midnight last night.

And just in case you think we are suffering…

We were greeted with hugs and a plate overflowing with cookies (and milk too)

Both boys slept GREAT

So we awoke rested and ready for decision making.

Adam continued to get worse, so went to the emergency room.

We were the only patients there! (gift)

Forgetting my time as a labor & delivery nurse, I said “oh I am so glad you are not busy!” to the nurse…

She immediately “shushed!” me (in love)…(because you never say that in the hospital…bc you NEVER know how quickly the quiet can stop…just hospital suspicions I guess; ) )

They quickly and thoroughly assessed Adam with such kindness and concern.

They made a quick diagnosis of a UTI (urinary tract infection) and have given appropriate antibiotics.

It will be for 14 days.

And it can be a battle on the stomach…causing nausea/vomiting/diarrhea

(Can you please pray that he doesn’t respond with either of those…but that his little gastric mucosa is resilient against the nasty side effects…please? )

So we are like BEYOND thankful.

waiting in hospital…is my little adam not so dapper even with a UTI and being on a humidifier? i do say he is

goodness i love him

To things on my heart as I close today
This reminds me so much of the end of Romans 8.
I think I must agree with Piper, that this is the best chapter in the whole Living Word.
(Romans 8.15 being key in our move to adopt Adam)
This quote by Penington leaves me speechless.
Is it not so true?
And as I see my Adam struck with so much, outwardly, I must trust our tender Father
And I MUST trust that the goodness of Him swallows up all the sufferings.

“As to what may befall us outwardly,
in this confused state of things,
shall we not trust our tender Father,
and rest satisfied in His will?

Shall anything hurt us?

Can tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, nakedness, peril, or sword, come between the love of the Father to the child, or the child’s rest, content, and delight in His love?

And doth not the love, the rest, the peace, the joy felt, swallow up all the bitterness and sorrow of the outward condition?”

– Isaac Penington

love this boy. praying deep friendship and grace between him and his brother…especially in days like this when one gets so sick and one doesnt
