Introductions Name A time when you clashed with someone, and what it was about your personality differences Jigsaw The Gathering 2

Unique For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. Jigsaw The Gathering 3
