Week #16 - The 'Ole Bod, Regardless of Blob Factor

I'm almost done with school. I can hardly wait - time to do some serious organizing around the house, paint a few craft projects, and organize and put together my office/craft room, finish projects that have been put way too far on the back burner, read books - like novel books - that I want to read, not necessarily HAVE TO read. I am thrilled with excitement about finishing school in just a few short days, like 5 to be exact!

This is the second semester that I have taken Anatomy and Physiology. It has been so much fun to learn about the 'ole bod!! I am by no means in any miraculous shape (blob doesn't really count) and I'm not quite so round any more. Regardless, as I have learned about the human body, there is one thing that has happened that has become so profound to me - the human body is no accident. It is a divinely inspired creation of God. There are no accidents in the design of the human body.

I am amazed time and time again with each section I have studied how marvelous the human body is. It isn't just skin, bones, muscles, organs. It is a machine - literally - down to every last cell in our bodies. There are so many checks and balances and safety features in the body that it is impossible to say it was not created by a Divine Being.

I am grateful for the knowledge that I have that my body is designed and created in HIS image. We are stewards of our body and are to take care of it, nourish it, exercise it, use it to it's ability, rest it. It is also comforting to know that because we are created in HIS image, the tears I shed, the hairs that fall from my head, the angst in my heart, or the worry in my head has all been felt before by my Savior, Jesus Christ, who too is created in HIS image.

If the 'ole bod was good enough for my Savior, it certainly is beyond good enough for me, regardless of the blob factor.
