Standing in Awe

So... today I got to experience a miracle.

I saw a baby be born. A beautiful little girl named Alexandra was born to one of my good friends and I was blessed enough to be able to watch and talk to my friend throughout the process.

I really thought I wouldn't be able to handle it. But instead of getting nervous or sick, I found myself filling up with tears. I found myself falling in love with the miracle of birth, falling in love with my awesome God all over again. I fell in love with His attention to detail. She had a beautiful head of black hair. Ten perfect little toes and ten perfect little fingers.

I felt so wrapped in the arms of Jesus today. It was like He was whispering, "Natalie, I'm here and I'm so very real. Look at what I've created, look what I've given the world."

Praise the Lord. My God is so Good.

I have never seen a baby being born, but I always thought those ugly things plopped out in a bunch of juice.
