October 23, 2014 by Katelin Hansen 2 Comments

For you formed my inward parts;  you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works;  my soul knows it very well. - Psalm 139: 13-14 (ESV) Reflection Scripture tells us that God knows each hair on our head (Matthew 10:30; Luke 12:7). Each strand is counted.
