An Ahhhh Haaaa Moment

Today while we were in Sunday School I had one of those moments. You know when you are reading the scriptures and all the sudden you know the answer to something. The crazy thing is this wasn't even an answer I was looking for. Well I wasn't looking for it at this point in my life. A few years ago yes, but not now. Let me explain.

All to often I know of women, friends in the gospel who have had miscarriages. I myself had one between Spencer and Siena. And all to often the question arises as to what point does the spirit enter a baby. Is it at birth? Is it before birth? When? Well today we were reading in Luke 1. The Lesson was all about Mary conceiving Jesus and Elisabeth Conceiving John. Well in Luke 1:15 it says: (talking about John the Baptist) "For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost even from his mothers womb." BAM!! I looked at Lee and said Flippin Heck. See the part that got me was "AND HE SHALL BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY GHOST EVEN FROM HIS MOTHERS WOMB" I was thinking there would be no point for a person, wait a soulless body, to ever be filled with the Holy Ghost. To me it was obvious that whilst the mother is carrying that baby its spirit has already entered into its body. I know we don't know at exactly what point but if the scripture says he will be filled with the Holy Ghost even from his mother womb than I would like to think that it is from very early on. At times I have heard it is when the baby's heart starts to beat but that isn't necessarily true. Heavenly Father is a God of miracles. We don't necessarily just stat living when our heart starts beating. While all the cells are forming something spectacular is happening. Something is alive or else the amazing things which happen early on in a pregnancy such as a heart starting to beat couldn't happen. I know this isn't gospel and that there is nothing to support my thoughts, that is nothing other than a whispering of the spirit at about 10:45 this morning while in Sunday School. This is exciting to me because even though I lost my baby at only 10 weeks pregnant my baby's spirit came to earth, gained a body and was taken back by our Father in Heaven because that baby was so perfect it didn't need to be tested or tried.It also confirmed to me that I will definitely have the opportunity to raise that child.... eventually. We all know the saying "Not in my time, but in the Lords time" that is when I will get a chance to raise our "3rd" child.

I hope I don't offend anyone by posting this. It is just something that I felt really strongly about today and I really wanted to put it here so that someday if I need it again I can come back here, read this and be comforted. Or maybe one of you can be comforted in the revelation which I received for myself.
