our SON.

We’re already in awe of him. Today at the perinatologist they zoomed in on his heart…you could see all four chambers, the major veins, the directions of bloodflow…and I couldn’t help but thinking how amazing hearts are, not only physically, but in the fact that Jesus will live in his heart as well. The physical and spiritual are so intricately and mysteriously intertwined. I’d been excited before, but as we watched the doctor count his individual fingers and toes, and check all of his organs, and show us his perfect little lips and nose and face, and as we watched him swallow…I was amazed. Speechless. Not only that God creates life, but that He does it with such precision, and that He’s entrusted us to take care of His precious little boy. BOY. Haha. Not sure what to do with a boy, but I’m looking forward to figuring it out! We are so very thankful…

And so are his big sisters!!!

“As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.” Ecclesiastes 11:5

“I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.” Ephesians 3:16-19

“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.” Psalm 139:13-18
