Psalm 139:13-14

This is what I wrote the morning before I had the twins.  Thought I would share what emotions I was feeling that morning.  I went to bed the night before at midnight and tried to sleep but finally got out of bed at 4:45 and read this scripture and wrote this in my journal.

Psalm 139:13-14
"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."

Today is the day we are going to meet Ethan Paul and Evan Michael.  I am incredibly excited, overwhelmed, nervous, and so many other emotions all rolled together.  This is one of my favorite scriptures, especially when I am pregnant.  It makes me appreciate the power of God and his wonderful plan for our lives.  God has great plans and dreams for these little boys and I have the privilege to be their mother and raise them for Him.  God is ultimately in control of all of this (we really learned this lesson seven months ago when we found out I was having twins:)).  We have very little power over how all of this goes today.  My prayer is that God will help me to trust in His plan and to remember that His works are wonderful.  My prayer is also for Ethan and Evan, God knows them, loves them and created them long ago and I get to meet them today.  I hope I can love them the way God wants me to.

After I wrote this I went upstairs got ready to go to the hospital and less than twelve hours later I was holding two very healthy twin boys.  I have not stopped being amazed at God and His wonderful plan for my life.  I have, however, needed to be reminded that I have to trust in God and his plan.
