Psalm 139:14
I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.
Most of us have not considered what it takes for a human being to survive, much less what it really takes to accomplish work or recreation.
Through this experience we have gained knowledge about the body we never would have otherwise. If there’s a part or zone that malfunctions, the rest of the body is affected. We have seen the importance of all parts, from the tiny hair like parts in the lungs that exchange oxygen to the large muscles in the back and shoulders.
Hu has made remarkable progress, but we are not on top of the mountain yet, so, please continue to pray for him. Seeing him transformed from a deep sleep to standing and playing tennis and baseball on the Wii is a wonder.
Stamina continues to be an issue. The lack of adequate lung function starves the body of needed oxygen and causes Hu to tire easily.
All of this reminds us that we are not in control. We didn’t put the body together in the first place and as good as the medical profession is, and as much as we appreciate them, we are still in need God’s help!
As we read through the last few postings we'd missed while busy traveling, we see progress for which we are so thankful. It probably looks much slower to you as one-day-at-a-time Hu works to get stronger. I think you hit the nail on the head when you said God built him first and will do His repair in His timing. I think of the 9-months it takes to grow a baby to be strong enough to live on his own and know timing is God's. Trusting and praying with you!
