me and my house

this weekend kevin and i went to see the bodyworlds exhibit at the science museum. i thought the show was really amazing. i find it hard to believe that my body is making something as complicated and intricate as a human body right now!

the most moving portion of the show for me was the developmental section that housed fetuses and an 8-month pregnant woman. when i saw her body cradling the baby i was just overcome by how truly perfect pregnancy is. i definitely had tears in my eyes after seeing her as well as the small 16 week old fetus.

it is so perfectly formed and made- its tiny toes and sweet little eyelids. its hard to comprehend that i have one inside me right now.

for you formed my inward parts;
you wove me in my mother's womb.
i will give thanks to you,
for i am fearfully and wonderfully made;
wonderful are your works,
and my soul knows it very well.
psalm 139:13-14

the next morning at church we were singing a song that has made me cry ever since i found out i was pregnant. i just get this overwhelming realization that salvation has already been offered to my child and is waiting for him/her to grasp and accept. i imagine seeing my child finding its first joy in praise and honoring god and i just feel so much gratitude and responsibility all at once.

it is hard to describe, but i always end up crying! the song is called amazing love:

i'm forgiven because you were forsaken.
i'm accepted- you were condemmed.
i'm alive and well, your spirit lives within me
because you died and rose again.

amazing love, how can it be
that you my king would die for me
amazing love, i know its true
and its my joy to honor you.

in all i do, i honor you.
