This week I am preparing to teach the female reproductive system to a class of high school girls. This is a bit of a change of focus from my usual work as a midwife. However, I am thrilled for this opportunity and have a huge love and passion for education and teaching! Especially when it involves my most favourite topic, reproduction.
As I have been reviewing material and preparing for this class I came across a fantastic video on youtube. It's a TEDtalk video. Just a side note, if you're not familiar with TEDtalks you are missing out and I highly recommend checking these little gems out! As I watched this video, Conception to Birth Visualized I was awestruck. Watching the wonderment of the miracle of conception through childbirth, a topic I have studied in depth, I was again struck with aw and amazement. Not only was I amazed yet again by the incredible process, but by the awe the presentor (a brilliant, mathematician, visual artist and writer) expressed. He repetitively states that, "so perfectly organised structure it was hard not to attribute divinity to it." I completely agree.
I just wanted to take this little moment to reflect upon the wonderment...To praise God for His incredible creation, which we can only begin to grasp. I wanted to remind us all to never lose the wonder. For me, I never want to let the everyday norm of birth (hard to imagine right) make me forget about the incredible details, the handiwork of our Creator working behind what I see everyday.
Whatever you are doing, whatever you normal, everyday looks like, there are great workings of God behind it. Look for it, praise Him for it and never lose the wonderment!
