God Thought About You, And So I Am Here

Inspired by the following passage from the poem “Baby” by George MacDonald:
What makes your forehead so smooth and high?
A soft hand stroked it as I walked by.
What makes your cheek like a warm white rose?
I saw something better than anyone knows….
How did they all just come to be you?
God thought about me, and so I grew.
But how did you come to us, you dear?
God thought about you, and so I am here.
About Christi
I am a single mother with two young daughters who are the world to me. I am a philosophy professor, especially fond of Kierkegaard and Augustine. Presently, I teach as an adjunct at a plethora of colleges in the Houston area, trying to make ends meet.
Creating art brings me immense joy, but only recently have I begun to venture into the arena of making my creations a consumer commodity. I'd rather my work be created as a good in itself, and given to those I love. But necessity breeds invention, they say, and human beings have to eat.
