God's Grace

I spoke quite a bit about baby Nathan but not much about the one who gave us this precious child - the creator of life, God.

Carol and I waited for many years for a child. During the waiting journey, God kept reminding Carol (and I) that His promise would come true. While I was not upset, Carol went through quite a bit of agony and medical procedures along the way. Doctors said that it was difficult for Carol to conceive and her obstetrician was surprised that we didn't try IVF at all.

It is our belief that God is the creator of life and He will give a child to us in His time. We keep our faith with God and He never let us down.

God also provided us with an excellent obstetrician. Yes, Carol had to go through a long labouring period of 17 hours and still ended up with cesarean section. God's provision was well ahead of us. The obstetrician did an excellent job and Carol did not feel any pain with the wound after the operation.

All these had happened with divine provision from God but not co-incident or luck. If anyone of you reading this is still in doubt of God, I invite to give a chance to yourself to explore more about God.

Here is a photo of Nathan sleeping. His hands move around quite a bit during his sleep. In this incident, he shows that he has inherited some of his mum's sleeping habit of covering part of his face while sleeping.
