naming the stars.

Meditations on the Psalms from John Nunnikhoven on Psalm 147:4-5

"He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names. Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure."

"You, who set the stars in their places, you determine their times and places, you only can count them for they are beyond my numberings. It is beyond me to understand your awesomeness, your vastness, how can I, a worm, live except through your grace and love."

When we talk to God about our own hearts, about the Vaughan family, about Charli - I am remembering that we are talking to the God who counts and names stars. The above meditation reminds me that His vastness is beyond me. He is trustworthy.

Kelly and Adam are tired. Charli is tired. She had a hard day yesterday where Adam said it basically comes down to her being too tired to breathe and though it is scary, for a premie it is normal. Please keep asking God to breathe through her and give her power beyond understanding to keep growing.

Her belly is looking really good and they are continuing to give her Kelly's breast milk.

May the Grace & Love of our Creator God pour down over Charli, Elliott, Eloise, Emmiline, Kelly and Adam today.

  1. He IS trustworthy and i'm praying that today God gives rest and refreshment to adam, kelly and of course to little charli. it must be hard work to do all that growing and developing! it's no wonder she's fatigued. may the Great Healer and Protector breathe his peace and power and presence over this precious family.
