Just Astounding

Just bear with me, because my inner nerd/science geek is about to come out fully.

Being it's the fourth week of the semester, the tests have began to trickle in. Today was my first in my cell bio class (it went as well as a test can go) and I have spent the last few days heavily immersing myself in prokaryotes and eukaryotes and proteins and amino acids, etc. I also have been consuming large amounts of coffee with little sleep (as a matter of fact, I had my first experience with espresso shots and it was wonderful). But while I was studying, I was just amazed at the intricacy of the cell. I know I have studied it before, but it just floored me at the amount of detail is involved in the 10-100 micrometers of the animal cell. 

Have you ever just sat in awe, thinking, "Our God is just astounding!" The way He designed this little substance to do so much is just so awesome and cool. This is especially evident in how each part has their function and performs their tasks on their own because of the way God designed it. Even if you don't like science or don't understand a word I'm talking about, you must be amazed at the detail and design of each and every one of us down to the cell and the functions performed by it. These thoughts bring to mind this verse from Psalm 139:13 

"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."


Thanks for bearing with me while my nerd side came out just a little, but I had to share with you the greatness of our God and His design of us!
