One Week

Wow! Time flies! Not long ago (Nov. 26) April and I were sitting in a room with an ultrasound tech, looking at pictures of our baby at a 29 week checkup. Now we can drive ten minutes and actually hold him. Who would've thought?

I don't think there's much to say but just to celebrate the fact that Lincoln has made it one week...and done pretty good for that matter! As some of you may know, I've contstantly got music swirling around in my head. Well anyway, April and I have spent a lot of time just singing out to God this past week and right now I can't help but think of the words from a song you might know...

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be

Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided;
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

We know that God is faithful and it's not just something I'm wasting my time by saying to sound all "christian" in a blog. If you know me well enough, you'd know that's not me. The fact is that we've prayed to God to protect our baby boy and He's been faithful. I think it's only right to give God the praise He deserves for watching over Lincoln. It's really easy to say that God is good (only 9 letters to type) but if you could hold Lincoln against your chest and feel his heart beating like we have...you'd agree that only the hand of God could make that happen.
