In Awe

I am constantly in awe of how God created this little baby. Almost every day I look at something about her and sit in awe. The first time I read about how she was developing in the womb I was so giddy about the intricate details God puts into place as he creates each child. As I would read each week about what was happening inside my womb it became more and more exciting. I mean at 6 weeks their nostrils & eyes start to form, at 7 weeks their hands & feet are emerging. So early and yet life is being created. God's hand is a part of each intricate detail. I know that God knows from the beginning just what we will look like and be forever, but I can't help but imagine him making us as masterpieces. Each week taking the time to create the most amazing little baby & paying attention to every tiny detail.

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.
Psalm 139:13-16

Beyond what takes place in the womb I continue to be amazed. Each week your baby changes so much and often without your control at all. Obviously there are things you can do to encourage development but so many things take place that you don't teach your child, but that they just know how to do. Something as simple as them being able to feed right away. How cool is it that they just know what to do? They just have that instinct to suck. As weeks go by they learn to smile, coo, giggle, grasp, etc. Each little milestone is simply so sweet and amazing. God is good! His creation is simply amazing. I stand in awe.
