Some of my favorite verses in the bible; I dare to say it's even my life verses is Psalm 139: 7-14
Psalm 139:7-14English Standard Version (ESV)
7
Where shall I go from your Spirit?
Or where shall I flee from your presence?
8
If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
If I make my bed in Sheol , you are there!
9
If I take the wings of the morning
and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
10
even there your hand shall lead me,
and your right hand shall hold me.
11
If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me,
and the light about me be night,”
12
even the darkness is not dark to you;
the night is bright as the day,r
for darkness is as lie ght with you.
13
For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
14
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.[a]
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
These are the types of verses that lead to jaw dropping moments. It tells us that we cannot hide from God and He will always guide us, Then, as if that wasn't great enough, He created me! He didn't mold me out of clay and breathe breath into my nostrils, a miracle in itself. But He knitted me together in my mother's womb.
I'm ashamed to say that I didn't always feel special. As a child with a physical disability I fell more outcast than chosen. There was nothing "special" about me. I had nothing to offer the world. I could not see past the selfishness of my heart. I even blamed my parents, especially my mama for causing me to be disabled. I didn't deserve to be disabled. Why me?
Then, something amazing happened...I became pregnant!
It went against all odds; against what doctors said couldn't happen. It went against what people said should happen. God had answered my prayers. I was going to have a baby. On of the coolest things I've seen is when I was taking a bath one night the baby kicked me and I was able to see Dalton's little foot. It suddenly hit me...I had a ling person inside of me. God has chosen Bryan and I to create this beautiful little boy who I loved and I didn't even know him yet
There's nothing like watching a child grow up, especially if the have one or more siblings, It's amazing how kids that came from the same parent can be so different. Only God can do that.
Psalm 139:7-14 reminds me that I was created for a reason. God knew I would be disabled and have struggles, but God knew I'd meet the love of my life at a MTSU philosophy class that neither of us needed to take. He knew that we would have these two wonderful kids who have grown up with the unique advantage of having a disabled mama. God knew that I'd would fall in love with Him because I would be sent to a Christian school for disabled children.
HE KNEW BECAUSE HIS KNITTED ME TOGETHER IN MY MOTHER'S WOMB.
