• Knit together

  The other day, I prayed through Psalm 139 with the baby in mind.  In the past, when I have prayed through the psalm, I always marvel at how amazing it is that God created me in my mother's inmost being.  This time, my amazement tripled as I considered the baby in my womb.  I praise God that even before one day of our baby's life has come into being, He already knows them all, and He has ordained each one.  He is knitting our baby together and sees him/her in the secret place.  I can't see anything that's going on inside, but He can!  It's just so amazing to remember how all-knowing God is and be reminded what it means that He is the Creator -- a creator who is loving.

  As Sam & I follow along babycenter.com's guide on how the baby is developing week by week, we have learned that even now, everything is already set for the baby -- from the way the baby looks to the baby's gender -- everything is set and just needs to mature as the days go by.  Isn't this what the Bible speaks of when it says that God has ordained it all? 

  Yesterday, we got a glimpse of what God is doing.  Here's our little bean:

  

  The arrow is pointing to the head.  Our little baby looks like a cashew right now.  (Sam has a better image for you to compare it with on his xanga.) 

  Isn't it amazing?  It's hard to believe that this little cashew is going to turn into a little person!!  I can't stop marveling.
