Well, Little did not disappoint. 

We walked into her room and she looked up and said, “There’s pretty eggs up on my wall.  It’s pretty for Christmas!” (?????)

I knelt down beside her and explained what it said and told her that she was wonderfully made.  She looked in my eyes, put her hands on my shoulders, and said, “Can I watch the Backyardigans, please?”

And there you have it folks.

Kitty, I made it out of scrapbook paper and some letters I ordered online.  I have a bunch of extra letters – we could see if it spells anything you would want!

“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. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. ”
Psalm 139: 13-15

Funny how you can memorize a portion of scripture when you are young and the Lord will use it to shape and mold you and then, when you are older, something happens and that same verse becomes dearer still.  It is all to wonderful to know that our Little was not hidden from the Lord when she was “being made in secret”.  The reality is that the Lord was knitting her together when, between weeks five and eight of development, her Corpus Callosum didn’t form.  And what a glorious declaration that His works are wonderful – my soul KNOWS IT in a way it never has before.  Yes, our Little is fearfully and wonderfully made.

So, the latest project is complete.  I have had this in my mind for a couple years.  It has morphed from stenciling (then I would have to redo it if we moved) to this.  The pile of cut letters has been sitting on my dresser for months and I finally just decided to hang it while Little was at school this afternoon.  I can’t wait to hear her response when she comes home today.  What fun to explain to her what this says and means.

I’ll tell you all about it, I mean, if you want to know.

The Landlord won’t let us paint the bathrooms. He re-did them right before we moved in and he is very protective of those new walls. So, we have bland white walls and I have to make the most of it. For the past year that has meant . . . nothing. Now we have these cute little dot pictures. It’s a start.

Ideas are welcome.
