“…so is My word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” Is 55:11

And off they go! Now racing through Zac’s body, one hundred million of God’s messengers, ready to accomplish His purposes.

Zac’s Stem Cell injection yesterday was successful. We checked into the Mayo Clinic at noon and had to wait until 1:15 pm as the doctors did a quality check on his newly grown stem cells that were harvested from his belly tissue last month. They counted them to confirm the exact number, which measured approx 10 ml or 2 teaspoons (photo is of water equivalent). It reminded me of how God counts even the stars and knows them all by name (Ps 147:4).

Cells in the body have specific purposes, but stem cells are cells that do not yet have a specific role and can become almost any cell that is required. I imagine this past month our Creator forming each one of these new stem cells, whispering into them, one by one, His commands for His purposes.

Ready messengers to perform His will, commanding them to be sent forth to repair Zacs broken nerve cells.

For Zac is Gods workmanship, created created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that he should WALK in them. I’m standing firm on Eph 2:10. We are ready to see what God wants to do with Zac. My heart silently prays that Zachary would be the paralytic that God healed in Mark 2 as an example of His healing power. Yet God could be up to something different too; regardless, His perfect plans WILL be accomplished. We need not fear (I’m preaching to my own heart here.). And there is no greater joy then being an empty, ready vessel for the Lord to use. For He is good and worthy of our trust.

Packing up now and off to Craig Hospital in Colorado for follow-up rehab! Whoohoo!
