My WOW moment this week

Ok, I've been at the malnutrition center for about twelve days now. On most occasions I can accurately identify all my little Ducks. On a good day, with Kaysey's help (other intern) I can get most of the Squirrels. For some reason there are about four that look like the could be sisters to me! Here's another tidbit of info for you: I've been calling one of the Duck Danilio when his name is Danilo. Did you catch that? I just threw in and extra vowel. Sorry little dude! In fact a few of our kiddos have to go by their middle name, and even one of the girls goes by her last name because their first name is already taken by someone in their group. That kinda stinks doesnt it? Glad i dont have to go by Idsardi all day! :) So, what does this have to do with my WOW moment? Well, I was feeling kinda down because I could not for the life of me remember how to tell those sweet little girls apart. It's almost funny now- they know I don't KNOW them as well as the boys, and let's face it- I don't know them completely well either, but I know who I have to keep my eye on! Here's the thing: God knows us better than we know ourselves and He will never confuse us for someone else. He doesn't forget our name, or have to rely on a middle name because our first one is taken. I love Psalm 139. I've been reading and rereading it over and over. "o Lord you have searched me and you know me....you are familiar with all my ways....you hem me in- behind and before;you have laid your hand upon me....You created my inmost being;you knit me together in my mothers womb. I praise you for I am fearfully and wonderfully made." In Matthew we're reminded not to worry because God's got our backs- even the hairs on our head are numbered. He created us, He knows us, He loves us. He created me, He knows me, He loves me. He created you, He knows you, He loves you.
