How many people do you know that have five or six rare
health issues? Until my daughter, I didn’t know any. That’s what my daughter,
Aria, has to deal with but if she was to walk into the room, you’d never know
anything was wrong with her.
I was thinking, “How could so many things be wrong with
her?” I have to realize that God made her that way.
In Psalm 139 it says,
13 For you formed my inward
parts;
you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.
you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.
I know that’s a strange thing and it’s easy to think that
when you’re “healthy, wealthy, and wise” but what about a little girl like
Aria.
Looking at just a small part of Aria’s medical history,
you’d wonder how I could think that she’s “fearfully and wonderfully made” but
here is why I believe it’s true.
- God has made an incredible girl who has allowed her body to deal with her health issues as we try to resolve them as best we can.
- Aria has an incredibly high pain tolerance and is able to handle things that most children could not.
- Aria has such a sweet spirit about her and is just a blessing to all those she meets.
- God has given her such patience and grace to accept her life the way it is with very, very little complaining.
- Although God has made her beautiful on the outside, more important, she’s beautiful on the inside. That’s what’s important and that’s what comes through her daily life as she lives, a much a possible, a “normal,” spunky, happy, and satisfied life.
- God has a special plan for her life. Through her, God will bless others and God will be glorified.
Aria is a little girl who has been “fearfully and
wonderfully made."
