TO READ ON THANKSGIVING//
I read THIS POST today. I tweet/re-post Los’ stuff pretty regularly. But, to read this today… on Thanksgiving was simply outstanding. GOD, let me never forget just how truly faithful You are… + PJT
DAY 14// 348 HOURS
+ 12:30AM – MAY 21, 2009 + 348 hours ago, I was covered in paint with a handful of preschool and kindergarten kids. 348 hours ago, I got the phone call that he was going to be born on May 6. Now, nearly 1600 miles later, 1000 miles over the need for an oil change, [...]
NICU: 11 DAYS IN//
(CLICK FOR TODAY’S PHOTO) Today started like the other 10 days we’ve been here. We got up, called the NICU for a report, and drove in to see him. Our phone report sent our emotions through the roof. All tubes were taken out this morning. Yesterday, they took him off any O2 support, and this [...]
FRIDAY MAY 8, DAY 3//
At 3:38pm we just signed our lives away. We also just found out that he’s off the Oxygen and the tube has been removed! All of this means that we’ll be holding him tonight. They’re going to have to wrestle him away from us “Praise our GOD, for He is good.”
End of Day 2//
It’s been a long day. It seems like sleeping last night in the hotel in South Bend was a dream… it feels very surreal. We actually came home tonight to shore up a few details for the next few weeks. It’s looking as if we’ll be up north for the next few weeks. Charlie was [...]
DAY 2//
Last night was what will, I’m sure, be one of many sleepless nights. Isaac was just a few miles away. As we curled up in bed at the Quality Inn, there was this very real understanding of distance. All we wanted to do was sit next the little guy as he “cooked a little more” [...]
Isaac James Towle//
Born: May 6, 2009 – 2:38pm 4 lbs. 11 oz. 17.5 Inches ****** Dear Issac, Dude, you’re not supposed to freak us out this soon. You’re just 6 hours old yet and we’re stressing over you… I know, you’re just prepping us for what’s to come, but seriously. There are a lot of people praying [...]
EASTER*//
I’m starting to see how the insanely complex concept of EASTER can really be boiled down to just a few simple things. EASTER IS ABOUT HOPE. JESUS WON A BATTLE FOR YOU ON EASTER. WE ARE ALL CHOSEN ON EASTER. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQ9t950bfm8&hl=en&fs=1] Our spiritual adoption is something for which we sign on the line. It’s not [...]
CREATE//
This week in our Life Together Group we were each given the assignment to create something that would be uniquely us… who would have thought that this would be so hard for me. So, at 10:10am as I sit and watch Angie create her work of art in the kitchen, I’m reminded of how much [...]
Our 2nd trip to Plymouth… (this is kind of a long story)
It’s been a weird week so far. My Mac had to go into the shop yesterday. The “superdrive” (as they call it) crapped out. I tried to burn a CD last week and found the sound of a weed whacker starting up coming from my little silver baby. Clearly, not a good noise. So, for [...]
