can't believe i'm at 70.

It seems like a lot... and also barely any at all.
SEVENTY little lives...
SEVENTY familes...
SEVENTY stories...
SEVENTY opportunities...
SEVENTY placenta's...
SEVENTY children...
SEVENTY.

I guess if they were all in one room right now it might feel like they were many... but I can only really conceptualize it in a series of experiences... that somehow has brought me today... each being substantially significant... independent... and not really accumulative.

Here I am.
God is gracious.
I am in awe.
I am thankful...

Thankful for these opportunities.
Thankful for his protection.
Thankful that for each of these SEVENTY He has a plan and purpose for their lives... no matter how short or long their lives end up being.

I pray they embrace the chance to know Him.

Meet #70, and his excited parents... and thankful (and ultra sleepy) midwife:)!
He has yet to be named... but his ma's name is Mae-Ann and his proud pop is Ronald=). (I'm Lois.) =)
