Babies = God

It's been one month since we welcomed home Benjamin.

I'm still in awe with him every day. 

I watch him. All day.

I peek in on his naps frequently.

I take too many pictures.

I am in love. 

Having a baby is the biggest blessing.

I have been thinking so much lately about God.

Because when I look at Benjamin, I see God.

Going through pregnancy, and now having this beautiful baby boy in my home every day, has testified so much to me of the existence of God. 

After this experience, I don't understand how people can believe there is no God; how people believe it was an accident that we are what we are.

I remember seeing Benjamin for the first time, holding him for the first time, and not being able to wrap my head around the fact that he was inside me. I grew him. In my belly! It's just something I couldn't wrap my head around....and something I still struggle to wrap my head around!

This person, this itty bitty breathing, alive person was inside me. 

It's incredible.

How can people say there is no God?

God is real.

My Benjamin is not a miracle of nature - He is a miracle of God.

From his tiny toes to his fuzzy head, he has "divinity" written all over him.

Look at our bodies.

Look at the complexity of the circulatory system: our heart, beating over 100,000 beats every day. 

Look at the respiratory systems: our lungs systematically filling and emptying, inhaling and exhaling.

We don't even have to think about these things. 

Look at our muscles: our leg muscles contracting to make us move forward - again, something we don't even have to think about doing.

Look at our brain: oh my goodness, the complexity of the human brain! Just the fact that we can think and reason and more.

Look at our eyes: the way the eyes work is so delicate and intricate. 

No.
I do not for one second believe that we are an accident of nature. 

We are, without a shadow of a doubt, divine beings. 

And that's just us.

You want more proof of God?
Look at the world around you.

It is not an "accident."

It is divinity in all it's finest. 

It is God. 

There's a reason it's called: "The Miracle of Birth."

Birth is a miracle.

Babies are miracles.

We are miracles.
