Psalm 139:13-16
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.
How amazing is our Lord! Wow...I have known this for almost all my life and then almost 7 years ago now...I knew it in a more real way. The kind that only comes from a true relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And now, at this time in my life, wow, I see it ever again...and am so amazed again. Why are we amazed? We know He is wonderful. His works are wonderful. And something new takes place and our eyes are opened once again!
As most of you know, we are expecting a baby. Our first and we are so excited, so anxious, a little nervous, ....you name it, we are. Excited for what the Lord has done..He has blessed us with a child. Simple..He has done it. And we are thankful. Anxious...all the FIRSTS...such as the First sight of a baby in my stomach, the First movement, the First hiccup, and of course the First day we see him or her! We are anxious for them all. And a little nervous...we pray that the baby will be healthy, we pray we will be the Christian parents God calls us to be, we pray that we will know how to discipline in the right way, we pray that he/she will come to know God as his/her Savior, we pray for their future. I'm sure these are all the same things that all parents go through....but these are our thoughts. And they are all new.
I wanted to share it with you....to share our excitement, to share our nervousness, and to share our prayer requests. We love you and look forward to seeing you (our friends and family) soon, as the Lord permits.
By the way....it is so exciting to lay awake in the morning and to feel this child (as big as my hand now) and to know their is a child breathing inside with a heartbeat as the Lord is knitting him/her together. And the Lord has seen the baby already...knows its days just like He knows ours. Amazing.
Are you amazed? That's how wonderful our Lord is.....

From the rising of the sun to the end of everyday, the name of our Lord should be praised. Let's praise Adonai for the amazing gift of this child to your lives and for all He is going to do through her/him.
Always in my prayers,
Noelia Gavarrete.
Isn't it so neat to know that there is a life inside of you that God placed there??
