The whole “Wondherful” concept was inspired from my fav Psalm, Psalm 139. You made my whole being; you formed me in my mother’s body. I praise you because you made me in an amazing and wonderful way. What you have done is wonderful. I know this very well. You saw my bones being formed as I took shape in my mother’s body. When I was put together there, you saw my body as it was formed. All the days planned for me were written in your book before I was one day old. Isn’t that wonderful?? That’s it! It’s all I need to know! God planned our potential before we had our first accomplishment. God scheduled our days before we started planning them on smartphones. When you wish you weren’t born, when you wonder why you are here, when you don’t want to keep going…Know this: God didn’t have to create you, He WANTED to. He envisioned you. He used His imagination to create every aspect of your inward and outward life. He wants you here. You are God’s sculpture, you are his image, and you should be esteemed by the notion that you are his masterpiece. You are his dream come true. Don’t let people make insecure what God has secured. And don’t let people reduce to insignificant what God has declared wonderful!

Heather,
This is so beautiful. I read this blog to my small group of five women at the first night of our small group meeting at Homestead about 10 days ago. I was hoping for the opportunity to share it with the women and the conversation turned to a point that was perfect to share this with them.
This last Tuesday night my group was (and myself) were a little surprised when this particular verse was part of our study and they asked me to read the blog again. The last two sentences especially really hit home to them. They feel dehumanized in prison and have a little troubling grasping that God has declared them wonderful, that they too are his masterpiece and that he has put them here for a purpose. Thanks for this particular blog it really meant a lot to them.
