Ultrasound Technicians before A.D.

Did you know that there were ultrasound technicians in the Bible time?

Yap, there were a few parents who knew exactly what they were having before the birth of their baby! The equipments back then were even more high-tech than ours in 21st century. They were so accurate that they didn't even need moms-to-be to lay down on the padded board and use the monitor screen and etc.  They just came to the mothers or parents -to-be and told the gender of the baby.

Remember when three angels came to Abraham telling him that Sarah will have a son? (Genesis18:10) How about the angel of the Lord appearing to Mary? (Luke1:28) And to Zacharias (Luke1:13), telling him about his wife, Elizabeth, will have a son?

It certainly is an amazing science that we have today. To be able to watch the miraculous creation of God through that monitor screen is just hard to put into words! We had a privilege to watch our little girl in my womb at my 20th week of pregnancy. It was simply speechless moment... We were at awe.

What a God we are found by! He is amazingly great, awesome, and totally God of all creation!!! How can He make a baby for nine months is a mistery. I was just day-dreaming the other day and thought of His first creation in the garden of Eden. If one day is a year (as the prophecies in the Bible are interpreted as a day equals to a year), then one year is a day. The nine months is three quarter of a year; thus it didn't take a full day for Him to create a man. However, it took almost all day - three quarter of a day - to create a man. Remember that all the other creatures were created and came into existence by words only? Except for the human beings. God took extra time for this creation. Why?

I don't really know for sure. I do know that what we witnessed in my womb was far too beautiful, far so sophisticated, and incredibly divine. No one can make what God makes! No one can perform miracles as God can!

I am simply humbled by His majestic power and His wisdom in depth. This is the God who had everything and can have everything, but voluntarily sacrafice Himself to make things right from the mess the man made. Because He loves us too far deep, very far wide, and so high beyond the clouds... He died so that we may have the life -precious life eternally...

God is good! He is amazing! He is our God!  And we, His people!

Living in Miracles

What can a man do to live? Living itself is a miracle. How can a man breathe in and out and/or when the cells grow and every part of body grows & function??? What is it that makes a person to feel, speak, think, eat and move? Isn't it God, the Creator, who simply is an expert at creating miracles?

What we prayed for since we got married was a miracle! We wanted to start a family right away, but it was not in our hand to create a life. For we know that it is not us who create, but God who is the Creator! Well, we tried. We tried again and again and waited. We even considered the "alternative" way (faster way: medical help). But at the end, we decided to wait upon the Lord and for His time.

God's timing and His will is what we wanted and prayed for. God heard our prayers and fulfilled our desire. Ten months into the marriage, it suddenly came. I was beyond Cloud Nine. It was so amazing to feel the miracle, but more than that, it is so amazing and humbling to know that God is there to tend my need & want. He was there! He was near and He answered our prayers!

I wasn't so discouraged or let down when we lost the baby in 6 weeks. I was still glowing with the fact that God can create a being in my old body! I was hopeful and I started to pray again. And He picked the best time of all to have me conceive again. Right after a mission trip to Bangladesh where I was blessed to teach the VBS program for a week. It was just a Perfect Time... just how He got us together in marriage. God just knows the perfect time~

So, here I am on my 20th week. God is still keeping this miracle in me! How the skin of my tummy stretches, I don't know. How I hear two different rhythm of heart beats at night when I lay on my side, ears down on my bed, I don't know. What I do know is that Our Creator, God Almighty, has performed a wonderful miracle in me and I believe Him! Like Sarah in the Bible, I can't stop smiling, praising the Lord for this beautiful miracle!!!

The baby finally kicked me about four times this morning around 5 a.m. God is alive and He is so real... just like our baby in me. Living in miracles and knowing that He loves ALL His children, including me, is so wonderful to fathom! Like His miracles, His love truly is something that I can't never understand fully, but I am so glad and so grateful for it!
