STEAM: Brain Study with Little Learners

Have you ever sat back and just wondered at the marval of the human body? When I look at my kids and I think about how much they have grown from the moment I felt their first kick to today, I can only see how amazing our Creator God is. Psalm 139: 13-16 are so true.
