Happy Mother's Day

This Mother's Day, Psalm 139 keeps coming to mind. I've been thinking quite a bit about raising Emily. Isn't it amazing to know that God created you for a purpose. You are not an accident or simply a fleshly product of biology. You are a person. Through motherhood (and fatherhood), God allows us to participate in the process of bringing persons into the world. It's convicting. I know I've got flaws. I'm not perfect. But then I remember that God created and designed my little girl. God has a plan for her. She's in good hands.

Psalm 139:13-16
13. For you created my inmost being;
    you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.
15. 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,
16. your eyes saw my unformed body.
    All the days ordained for me
    were written in your book
    before one of them came to be.
