Miracles

My God is in the miracle business. I was rocking Shelbi to sleep yesterday and just looking at her.. so peaceful, so beautiful... perfectly created. Our daughter, planned for us at the exact moment she was to be placed in our family... What if we had waited just one more month to get our foster license? What if we had not enrolled in our classes so urgently, letting the months slip by without notice? What if we had let our fears determine our future, instead of following His voice...? But He knew...

As I watch my boys grow I am amazed at what I learn about them everyday. When I think I know all there is, they surprise me and I see something I never knew was there before. When they were created, it took just the right components from Justin and I to get the exact combination needed to create each individual little boy. So many variables, yet only the Lord's perfect timing was needed to spring forth life. Each child is not just a random happening. They are an eternal soul... this life being only a spec of their eternity. Life is a miracle.

Some people say that they will not believe in God until He can be proven without a shadow of a doubt. Have they not looked into the eyes of their children? It takes more faith to not believe in God, than it does to believe in Him!

"For You have formed my inward parts; You have covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made...Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them."

Psalm 139:13,15b-16
