Whenever I read or think of these verses, I think of the summer I worked in Ft. Wayne with the Lutheran Church. The kids memorized v. 14: "I praise you because of the wonderful way you created me. All your works are marvelous, this I know for sure!" They did it in a rhythm and it's stuck in my head for 7 years now.
I know I've said it before, but, ever since my sister had her "unexpected" baby, that is one of my favorite verses. Because the circumstances around Adria's birth were less than ideal from a human perspective, yet when you look at her you see such a brillance in her life and such purpose for her being here, that you can't deny that God truly does CREATE each of us. We are no accidents and He has a purpose for EVERY life.
Peachy, I worked with Fort Wayne Urban Ministries at Grace Lutheran Church in the Pontiac neighborhood the summer after my junior year. We stayed in the Taylor University dorms in Ft. Wayne.
We adopted 2 baby girls, one from South Africa in June 2008 and one from Zimbabwe in June 2010. If you would like to read about our adoption journeys to South Africa, visit our adoption blog, Bursting with God-news.

Becky- When did you ever work in Fort Wayne? I knew Steve graced this area, but not you. When was that?
Katie, my heart just leaped when I saw that pic with the verse. How precious.
Opps not leaped....lept. Grammer errors. I can't stand them!
