Nursery

The nursery is almost complete, so I decided to post some pictures for y'all to see. I've had a great time putting it together and making it a special place for our new little guy. It still needs some finishing touches...curtains, a canvas painting a friend is making, and of course the wooden name letters, but those will be revealed after he's born since the name is a secret! Oh one more thing it needs....a baby!!!

The box painted above the bed contains a quote, "I am fearfully and wonderfully made." Psalm 139:14. I chose this quote because I love the entire chapter it is a part of. Verse 13 says, "For you created my inmost being, you knit me together in my mother's womb." Wow, what an awesome reality that is! All throughout my pregnancy I think about that fact, that God is knitting together this baby boy inside of me, He knows every part of my son, He knows what lies ahead for him. That is just so amazing to me, so I was excited to find this verse to put on the nursery wall.

Psalm 139

1 O LORD, you have searched me and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD.
5 You hem me in—behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,"
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth,
16 your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.
19 If only you would slay the wicked, O God! Away from me, you bloodthirsty men!
20 They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name.
21 Do I not hate those who hate you, O LORD, and abhor those who rise up against you?
22 I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
