139 O
Lord, you have
psearched me and known me!
2 You
qknow when I sit down and when I rise up;
you
rdiscern my thoughts from afar.
3 You search out my path and my lying down
and are acquainted with all my ways.
4 Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O
Lord,
syou know it altogether.
5 You
them me in, behind and before,
and
ulay your hand upon me.
6 vSuch knowledge is
wtoo wonderful for me;
it is high; I cannot attain it.
7 xWhere shall I go from your Spirit?
Or where
yshall I flee from your presence?
8 zIf I ascend to heaven, you are there!
aIf I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
9 If I take the wings of the morning
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10 even there your hand shall
blead me,
and your right hand shall hold me.
11 If I say,
c“Surely the darkness shall cover me,
and the light about me be night,”
12 deven the darkness is not dark to you;
the night is bright as the day,
for darkness is as light with you.
13 For you
eformed my inward parts;
you
fknitted me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
gWonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
15 hMy frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in
ithe depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your
jbook were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.
17 How precious to me are your
kthoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18 lIf I would count them, they are more than
mthe sand.
I awake, and I am still with you.
19 Oh that you would
nslay the wicked, O God!
O
omen of blood,
pdepart from me!
20 They
qspeak against you with malicious intent;
your enemies
rtake your name in vain.
21 sDo I not hate those who hate you, O
Lord?
And do I not
tloathe those who
urise up against you?
22 I hate them with complete hatred;
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart!
vTry me and know my thoughts!
24 And see if there be any grievous way in me,
and
wlead me in
xthe way everlasting!
David's expression and uncensored emotion toward God is such an amazing example of the personal relationship He wants with each one of us.
Somehow I am now stuck using the same font as this psalm I dragged off a website, but it works. Today we met with the "pros" at UW. Encouraged by their words, but still left in the dark a little. Seems there is only so much we can gauge prior to Esther's birth, and much of that is just guess work. There really aren't any hard statistics or averages to go off. When a child has this type of abnormality it generally restricts organs, such as the lungs, from developing properly. But it really makes no difference as many times a baby with underdeveloped lungs does remarkably well while at other times a baby with nearly fully developed lungs struggles and fails.
Guess we just have to trust in God, and allow Him to carry us.
