Thanks for sharing your experience. I hope you realise your dream and
wouldn't want to disabuse you.

Just for completeness, I will translate Psalm 139:13�16 and make a few
comments.

�For you created the internal parts of my body,
you covered me in my mother's womb.
  (I thank you, for I am awesomely and wonderfully made.
   Your works are wonderful I know that very well.)
My frame was not hidden from you when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven together in the depths of the earth.
You saw my embryo.
The lifespan that was decided for me was written in your book, before I came
to be.�

The writer uses agricultural imagery to reflect what happened before birth.
Like seeds that are �covered� over and planted in �the depths of the Earth�,
so God embedded us in our mother�s womb.
Down in "the Earth", out of sight, we were being made as our embryo grew to
complete the predetermined pattern.
This all happened before "we" began to live.
