But God

The sperm hits the egg
and a new life is born;
Open destiny, unwritten future;
Tabula Rasa.
Unfettered, unknown.

And there she is! Our lovely little angel, about a month and a half old in that pic.  Not a day goes by without us thanking God for her. It has been quite a journey, through very deep dark valleys, when we were not sure we would ever get close, let alone make it. But God....what a wonderful statement! Seemingly the beginning of Gods involvement in the affairs of men. Off course He was always involved but at that particular moment, its almost as if He steps in and says "Enough!"

“…Yet your father has deceived me and changed my wages ten times, But God did not allow him to hurt me.” Genesis 31:7 

“ But God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said to him, “Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad.” Genesis 31:24  

“ So now [it was] not you [who] sent me here, But God; and He has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.” Genesis 45:8 

"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:7-8"

“ But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ by His grace you have been saved.” Ephesians 2:4 

We can go on and on (read one lovely article here).

The mercies of God are endless, his love boundless. At His great works we wonder "Who is man that you are mindful of him, mere man that you care for him?" (Psalm8:4) It is bewildering, and humbling all at once. We can but thank Him. Over and over again. Every single day we live.
