Alive and moving inside my daughter\u2019s body, my new grandchild is simply waiting to make her debut. She\u2019s a miracle, the very best kind.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother\u2019s 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.\u201d \u2013Psalm 139:13-16 NIV<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I press my hand to Jen\u2019s full-term belly and feel the baby kick with her tiny foot. She\u2019s a living, breathing human being who can feel the pressure I\u2019m applying and is saying, in the only way possible, \u201cstop it!\u201d Feisty already, with distinct likes and dislikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve no idea of the personality that will soon unfold for us, but I hope we will encourage her to embrace who she is. Whether right-handed or left-handed, talented in music or in carpentry, soft-spoken or loud and brassy, tall or short, blue-eyed or brown-eyed, she is being uniquely woven and designed to achieve God\u2019s purposes for her life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We can only hold our breath and wait to see the miracle that is coming our way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
