Where was I?

Jordan is a very thoughtful little girl. She is one who will sit and ponder all sorts of thoughts and ideas. One such thought came up yesterday. As Jordan and I were sitting downstairs, Jordan looked over at Justin's and my wedding pictures. She's asked before where she was in those pictures, but we've told her that she wasn't born yet. Well, yesterday, that answer quite disturbed her. She asked again where she (and Rylie) were, and was becoming visibly upset, even near tears, "But...where WAS we?! Were we tiny? Were we big? Where WAS we?!" She could not wrap her sweet little heart and mind around the idea that she was not in existence. How can that even be? Something that was not is now what is? Something from nothing?

Isn't God amazing?! I pray we would all be in awe of our mere existence, that God would choose to make us something when we were once nothing!
