Baby Love

Well, how does one describe the miracle of life?! I am at a loss for words but have been pondering the design that God chose as the best plan for us humans to experience yet again a tiny vision of how His humongus heart works. I am sure that in His infinite wisdom He could have made babies a gazillion different ways but He chose to use the beautiful union of man and woman to give to one another so He can create. Why does He chose the woman, the weaker vessel, to house such a precious one? I do not know, but He wanted the child to dwell and be nourished for months inside flesh, the womb. I wonder if just maybe it is more for the parents to be humbled by this tiny little heart beat and growing body to draw us to the Creator? If He wanted us to be in awe of Him for these 9 months as much as we grow in love with our child. I'm sure it serves many purposes beyond what my mind and heart can take in at this moment in time. What a Wonderful Maker!
I was struck last Friday when we had our first practice in the chapel with the 2-4 yr olds at the preschool when they came to the simple and ageless song, "Jesus Loves the Little Children of the World". They were especially loud as these mostly unchurched children belted out a song they love. I thought, "they get it, they Know that Jesus loves them no matter who they are!" What joy this must bring to the Father's heart who made His children to praise Him with a full heart!
I can only await with a heart of expectation at the daily lessons that Josh and I will learn from this little life that He has given us charge of for this time.
How great a love the Lord has lavished on us that we should be called children of God!

That's all folks!

    you guys are so fun. You need to come over and check out my growing belly soon. Since last Wednesday didn't work out, I was thinking this Wednesday. My mom will actually be here but she is fun and wants to meet our friends ;) (and cook for us) I will call you.
    I am SOOO excited that we are pregnant together, and get to raise our babies together. I kinda got teary eyed when I typed that. My emotions are kinda crazy ;)
