miracles

i love science. i always have. and what has always continued to fascinate me is the human body and all its details down to the molecules. now my sister can probably draw you the structure of the amino acid chains or give you a lecture about carbon double bonds and their strength or angles- i love that she can too because she is such a smarty. i like more of the physiological processes on the organ level like the heart and how calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium play a role in this very important muscle beating so that the 5 liters of blood you have in your body can perfuse the rest of the crucial organs- and all this is done without us thinking about it. and i must say, whether it is the specifics of molecular geometry or the function of the heart there is no doubt in my mind that it has been designed intelligently. the greatest miracle, that is beyond science for me is the conception and development of a human being inside another body.

yesterday morning, aaron and i found out that i am pregnant and that God has blessed us with a miracle! and truly it is! i am probably about 4 weeks into my pregnancy and already the baby's heart is starting to beat in a steady rhythm. all this to say, we are continually amazed by God's wonderful handiwork and are so thankful to God for all that He has provided us. please, those of you who read this we would appreciate any prayer for the health of our growing baby as well as for me.
