O Lord, you have examined my heart & know everything about me.
You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my thoughts even when I'm far away.
You see me when I travel and when I rest at home.
You know everything I do.
You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord.
You go before me and follow me.
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand!
I can never escape from your Spirit!
I can never get away from your presence!
If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there.
If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me.
I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night-but even in darkness I cannot hide from you.
To you the night shines as bright as day.
Darkness and light are the same to you.
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb.
Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex!
Your worksmanship is marvelous-how well I know it.
You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
You saw me before I was born.
Every day of my life was recorded in your book.
Every moment was laid our before a single day had passed.
How precious are your thoughts about me, O God.
They cannot be numbered!
I can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand!
I when I wake up, you are still with me!
We are so blessed! Every day members from the Hope care team come to visit and offer their prayers for Grayson, Erich & myself. And our parents have offerred up lots of prayers with their fellow church friends. It has been an awesome source of strength & comfort in our times of sorrow & stress but we rejoice with them, as well, in our great joys and blessings. Throughout this experience we have probably felt every emotion thinkable. And we can go from one to the next with the drop of a coin. But one thing is for certain, we could not be as strong of a family without our faith. We don't know why any of this happened, but it was part of God's plan before Grayson was ever a thought in our minds. How wonderful and blessed our God is to provide for us and look after our family. Having a child is such a miracle. I look at him and can't even fathom that he is the result of our love for one another. And our love has grown exponentially since having this little addition in our lives.
