During the night...Psalm 139

During the night last night, everytime I would wake up I would think/hear Psalm 139. I couldn't remember which Psalm it was. Well, when I opened my Bible everything came back to me. The entire Psalm is great. This scripture is just what I need today. Of course, that is how God works!! Anyway, I really like verses 1-6, but verses 13-16 really are special to me. On November 19, 2008, God woke me up early one morning and led me to this scripture. "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." I was a premature baby born at 30 weeks in 1970. The doctor told my parents that I may not live. If I do, I may not walk or talk. Well, obviously that isn't the case. My parents always pushed me to not allow my problems from being a preemie hold me back. I could accomplish anything I wanted, I just had to work harder than some. Anyway, I feel like God told me that morning that He knew me in my mother's womb. He knew the purpose for my life. He knew that my handicap wouldn't be a handicap for me! He gave me and my family the strength to overcome! He knew then that my heart would be for adoption. He planted the desire there. He saved me all those years ago, so that I could save children later on in my life! I believe he allowed me to go through things as a child and young adult which will now help me be a better mother to these girls. What an incredible blessing that I have been given by God!! What he told me today about this scripture is that he knew these girls in their mother's womb. He has had them in His hand since conception. He knew that they would be my daughters. He designed them for my family. What an awesome God we serve!!
