It's a Pleasure to Meet You Jackson

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting Jackson for the very first time. He's a quiet, yet very inquisitive young man. Healthy, strong and already growing. And let me tell you, his hair is amazing! So thick and dark, making me wish mine looked like his :) Actually Jackson is the 2 day old son of an amazing woman named Emma. It was such a privilege to hold him and admire the intricate details of God's handiwork. Life truly is a miracle! Just 48 hours ago Jackson was enjoying the warmth and protection of his mother's womb. What a difference a day or two can make. All of a sudden it's hello world and he's breathing on his own, eating, sleeping, crying, being held by people he's never seen before. Plus he's become one of the main attractions at the hospital. To look at little Jackson and see all the details that go into making his body, let alone those I can't see, how can you not believe that God's not involved? This young life is a miracle from God Himself. According to Psalm 139:13-14, "You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it." As I admire little Jackson, I see a young life that's been knit together by God. A life that has so much purpose and destiny. A life that's been made by God to do His bidding. Life is indescribable. It's sometimes too deep to even try to wrap your arms around it. As I held this little miracle, I couldn't help but think about all the great plans God has in store for him. I look forward to seeing God use him mightily.
