I am a horrible selfie picture taker. I feel awkward and end up looking like a weirdo. The only time I really like pictures of myself is when I am with my boys or my husband. All these selfies got me thinking. We all want to look and present ourselves a specific way using the perfect angle, editing tools, and filters. Rarely is that selfie in original form before we post it.
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Psalm 139:14
We are WONDERFULLY made and, according to Scripture, we should know that "full well." I don't think we know how wonderful we are made. If we did, we wouldn't need to post edited pictures of ourselves, which, in reality, are to make ourselves feel pretty, good about ourselves, and wonderful. Because of the overwhelming impact of social others lives online filtering through their pictures, statuses, and comments creating this extravagant story of their lives which is much more exciting and enticing than ours. We are losing ourselves; our wonderfulness.
Frankly, I just want to be me. I tried the chase subconsciously going after someone else's life trying to be like them thinking that may be more exciting. The reality is that it was exhausting and not meant for me. My life was made by Him so it's perfect...for me. Why run from His perfection? I am wonderful because of Him. Why don't we believe this?
He has created a story too beautiful to miss. I don't want to chase the wind looking for something that is right in front of me. I want this life; my life. He is too good giving me too much to want to be anything else but me for I am wonderful in Him. I like my selfie and am ready to live out this life He is writing.
"You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb." Psalm 139:13

I can't stop singing, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty." Scott and I went to the "big" ultrasound today where we tested to see if our baby had Down's, one of the Trisomy disorders, or any neural tube defects. I must admit the palms were a little sweaty and the heart was racing a bit. As surreal as this pregnancy is, I don't want anything to be wrong with this precious life inside of me. Well, holy is right. The Lord is not just good; He is awesome! Our little baby instantly began moving and grooving for us showing off fingers and toes and a great heart beat! Even though I am on my third, watching the miracle of life on that screen NEVER gets old! It truly blows my mind every time I get to see our precious angels developing inside of me! The scan came out wonderfully. We got all positives on all the scans the doctor (who was absolutely INCREDIBLE) could do. Now we just wait for some blood work to confirm that everything is okay with our little boy. ...
