Sunday Night Written August 28, 2011 8:02pm
Max is sleeping, the nurse is getting ready to mop up all the tire tracks his wheelchair has put in the room and I need to let everyone know how great our God is.
Yesterday was a busy day of running around. Due to some calls that didn't go through I ended up at the house for quite a while yesterday. Fortunately Max had a lot of visitors that helped him pass the time. We were both pretty tired and went to bed last night. Max was moving his arm a lot and he didn't sleep very well.
This morning he was going to have his shower in the morning so he could be free today for visitors. When I was doing this leg exercises I noticed his catheter line was pretty dry. He usually has some liquid coming out. His respitory therapist noticed his stomach was really distended. A lot of the time he has a distended stomach because of air. I noticed when I started on his other leg, he still had no urine output. When I looked at the line it didn't look right. I checked his stomach and his stomach was somewhat soft but lower in his abdomen it was very hard. I asked the nurse to come check his urine output to the see if it was the same as the day before. She said it was much less than the day before. She checked and said she would do a bladder scan just to make sure everything was okay. Well, his bladder was very full and she went to get some help. They tried to flush the line but it was totally blocked and they couldn't get any liquid in, so obviously no liquid was coming out. They ended up having to take that line out and put another one in.
While they were draining his bladder ~ they could only do so much at a time or the body could go into a sort of shock our Pastor's wife Ms. Dorene called. She said she had been praying and really felt that they (the congregation) needed to call and sing this song to Max. We put the church on speaker phone and they sang "How Great Is Our God"
The splendor of a King, clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice
All the earth rejoice
He wraps himself in Light, and darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice
Trembles at His voice
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
Age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the end
Beginning and the end
The Godhead Three in One
Father Spirit Son
The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb
Name above all names
Worthy of our praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
Here's Godtube video where you can hear the song.

Max was singing, I was singing, Max was crying, I was crying. Is there ever any doubt that God is there? Is there ever any doubt that God will show you that he's there? We have been out of church since July 17th. God has not moved on Dorene or Pastor to call during service or play any certain song for us. What are the odds that this time was just a coincidence? What an overwhelming joy in the midst of uncertainty.
Our God is good, Our God cares about all the details ~ the big ones and the small ones.
It's a good day, even when things don't go as we planned, God is always in control.
Looking forward to tomorrow ~ Ray turns 20, how the time flies!
