God meets us where we are............

Today I was looking through my "Notes" on Facebook... I came across the one I posted, the night before going in for my c-section to have Carson.  September 28, 2010 was a strange day... one of anticipation that the next morning I was going to finally see my son.  And fear, that it would be the same day I would say goodbye.  Yet in the midst of clashing emotions, God met me where I was at.  God knows our needs even more than we do.... he sees our hearts when even we can be in denial about what our hearts are saying....  Here is the post:

For those of you that read Sarah Young's devotional "Jesus Calling", tomorrow's devotional was written for me I believe.  I decided this evening to turn to September 29th - Carson's Birthday; just hoping that God would speak.  And He of course did.  And this devotional led me to Psalm 139 and I was able to put Carson's name in place.  Praise You Jesus that Carson is Fearfully and Wonderfully made.  Praise you Jesus in advance for the birth and life of my son.

September 29, 2010 – Carson’s Birthday

“I am with you and all around you, encircling you in golden rays of light.  I always behold you face-to-face.  Not one of your thoughts escapes My notice.  Because I am infinite, I am able to love you as if you and I were the only ones in the universe.

Walk with Me in intimate love-steps, but do not lose sight of My Majesty.  I desire to be your closest friend, yet I am also your sovereign Lord.  I have created your brain with capacity to know Me as friend and Lord simultaneously.  The human mind is the pinnacle of My creation, but so few use it for its primary purpose – knowing Me.  I communicate continually through My spirit, My word, and My creation.  Only humans are capable of receiving Me and responding to My presence.  You are indeed fearfully and wonderfully made.”     
~Jesus Calling by Sarah Young~

Oh yes, you shaped Carson first inside, then out;
you formed him in my womb.
I thank you, High God—you're breathtaking!

Finally in my arms ~ September 29, 2010

Body and soul, Carson is marvelously made!
I worship in adoration—what a creation!
You know Carson inside and out,
you know every bone in his body;
You know exactly how Carson was made, bit by bit,
how he was sculpted from nothing into something.
Like an open book, you watched Carson grow from conception to birth;
all the stages of his life were spread out before you,
The days of Carson’s life all prepared
before he'd even lived one day.

~Psalm 139:13-16 Msg~
