Item 4: The Final Word Was That It Was Good

I tend to read the creation story as a rapid progression of events:

SunRiseGodSpeaksSunSetGodSpeaksSunRiseGodSpeaksSunSetGodSpeaksSunRiseGodSpeaks
and so on.

As though each day took only minutes and seconds.

But our God is a God of consistency.

Those days were just as long and short as they are now.
The Sun stood, the Earth spun, and the day passed as any day would.

Then God cared as He designed and thought through and sculpted and molded and took His time.

And He saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning, a full day.

Item 3: The Arrival

And the girl did indeed
keep moving forward.
For years and years she pressed on.
When suddenly
Graciously
There came a moment when she 
Looked up
And saw
That she had gotten somewhere.
