I could hardly believe that the position I had my eye on became available at the exact same time that I starting looking into other job opportunities. Positions within that company rarely become available. The timing was perfect! It was just my luck. Or was it luck at all? “ Then Pharaoh’s daughter went down to the Nile to bathe, and her attendants were walking along the riverbank. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her female slave to get it. She opened it and saw the baby. He was crying, and she felt sorry for him. “This is one of the Hebrew babies,” she said. ” What are the chances that Pharaoh’s daughter would be at that spot of the Nile River bathing at the exact same time that Moses’ birth mother placed him in an ark sailing him down the River?
