Psalm 136

As I write this entry, Stefan and I are anxiously waiting in the family room down at Children's Hospital.  A nurse just came out to let us know that they just did his circumcision fix, and are now just starting his MRI.  It will take about an hour (which seems like an eternity on our end).

Pre-MRI.  He was not happy and VERY hungry. His last feeding was at 3:30am, and he didn't go under until 11:15am.  He'll be a hungry little man when he wakes up!

I went to read my devotional for the day, and it was "Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.  His love endures forever." - Psalm 136.

God knows exactly what we needed to hear right now.  And that was, we need to praise him.  For who he is.  For sending his one and only Son, to save us and for allowing us to have the Holy Spirit.  Our Bible Study is studying the Holy Spirit right now.  On Sunday, our main topic was our prayers and how they should be praise filled, even before we God reveals the outcome.  Our God is good no matter what the outcome.  This morning, our dear Addie asked, "Mommy, what happens if God doesn't answer our prayers?"  I was able to share that God's plans are perfect, and even though it may be disappointing, he promises to love and always be with us, and that he works all things for the good of those who love him.

Stefan and I are able to praise God, right here, right now.  For the blessing that Luke is in our life.  Our prayers are also that everything on his MRI check out.  This is our desire.  And we can trust that God does know the desires of our heart and hears our prayers.

Thank you everyone for your prayers today!  Lots of love, The MN Juliens
