1 in 2 Million

Sometimes in life I find myself questioning my place as well as if I'm really meant to be here to do something great.  This always helps remind me that I have a purpose.

I had an Anatomy class this past semester at Hope College and it helped me to realize just how precious and unique I really am.  It was the last couple weeks of class and we started learning the male and female reproductive systems.  I had learned them before it was just much more detail than I had ever experienced.  At first I was nervous and weirded out but I realized through it all some amazing things and I've decided to share them.  An oocyte, which is the female sex cell, is the largest cell in the human body while sperm, the male sex cell, is the smallest cell in the human body.  The average male ejaculate contains 2 million sperm.  Why am I throwing random facts around?  Well let's see here.  This means that God picked YOU instead of 1,999,999 other sperm that could have gone onto be completely different people.  This all happened before your parents even met!  Once they decided to try for a baby you were created from 2 cells, 2 CELLS.  Did you get that? 2 CELLS!!!  The amazing and complex body you now have was created from 2 cells that happened to be the largest and the smallest cell in the human body.  If that doesn't blow your mind I don't know what will.

The thing is God knew you before your parents had the thought cross their mind to conceive you.  He handpicked you out of 2 million. He put you here on this earth for a reason.  There a great purpose for you and your life is not for naught.  There is something in your spirit that waiting to be stirred and once that is found and stirred amazing things will happen.  Get stirring.
