"For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very
well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in
number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You."
Psalm 139:13-18
Several weeks ago we
found out that we are going to have a BABY! We are thrilled
to say the least. The thought of our new little growing baby brings us
great joy. I am amazed how I fell instantly in love with something that was the
size of a poppy seed.
This blog is going to be
the journey we enjoy as we wait for our little poppy seed to grow
into a watermelon. (Well now that we are 11 weeks along, it is more
like from a lime to a melon ;-) but you get the idea!)
As the last several
weeks have passed, I am in constant amazement of God’s greatness. Each
week this precious little one is gaining new abilities and features. I am
amazed that at the size of a lentil bean God had already formed a beating
heart! And at conception the little one's eye color, hair color, gender, and
genetic make-up were already determined! GREAT AND WONDERFUL IS OUR
GOD.
I am constantly blessed
by knowing “I was made for this.”
“Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one’s
youth.” Psalm 127:3-4
Feel free to follow our
sweet growing family as we venture through this crazy thing we call life. The
ups, the downs, the joys, and the sorrows they all lead us to the Father.
Much Love,
~ AB
