STILL SENSITIVE

I told you a couple of weeks ago just how sensitive the baby is to my hand just being placed upon the womb. Well Sarah has started noticing something different. She started picking up on it a couple of weeks ago and at the women's retreat last weekend she said it was very obvious. Apparently whenever someone is praying or reading the Word the Bible starts kicking and punching.

At the women's retreat someone read out of Psalm 139 and the baby went wild...when I read it and think about the baby going wild it just about makes me want to take "a lap"!

Psa 139:1 For the choir director: A psalm of David. O LORD, You have examined my heart and know everything about me.
Psa 139:2 You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I'm far away.
Psa 139:3 You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do.
Psa 139:4 You know what I am going to say even before I say it, LORD.
Psa 139:5 You go before me and follow me. You place Your hand of blessing on my head.
Psa 139:6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too great for me to understand!
Psa 139:7 I can never escape from Your Spirit! I can never get away from Your presence!
Psa 139:8 If I go up to heaven, You are there; if I go down to the grave, You are there.
Psa 139:9 If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans,
Psa 139:10 even there Your hand will guide me, and Your strength will support me.
Psa 139:11 I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night—
Psa 139:12 but even in darkness I cannot hide from You. To You the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are the same to You.
Psa 139:13 You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb.
Psa 139:14 Thank You for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
Psa 139:15 You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb.
Psa 139:16 You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in Your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.
Psa 139:17 How precious are Your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered!
Psa 139:18 I can't even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, You are still with me!
Psa 139:19 O God, if only You would destroy the wicked! Get out of my life, you murderers!
Psa 139:20 They blaspheme You; Your enemies misuse Your name.
Psa 139:21 O LORD, shouldn't I hate those who hate You? Shouldn't I despise those who oppose You?
Psa 139:22 Yes, I hate them with total hatred, for Your enemies are my enemies.
Psa 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
Psa 139:24 Point out anything in me that offends You, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.

Last night as I read a story out of 1 Judges about Samson's (not Sampson) mother conceiving and the circumstances surrounding his birth, the baby would go nuts every time I said "The Angel of God" (which in Old Testament is usually a reference to Jesus). I'm telling you I could hardly finish reading it thinking that just the very reference to Jesus made our little girl jump in her mother's womb! Isn't it amazing! Isn't it awesome!

What more do I say beyond the very testimony of this? Oh that the Lord would use this child for great things in His Kingdom...pray it be so!

Have a great weekend!
