Who is remembering?

Genesis 30:22-24 Then God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her and opened her womb. She conceived and bore a son and said, “God has taken away my reproach.” And she called his name Joseph, saying, “May the Lord add to me another son!” In this chapter we have the ongoing soap opera of Jacob's wives and their maidservants who bore him children. In their envy and competition Rachel finally has son, and then she names him "May The Lord give me another one! We are never satisfied. Despite this, the LORD remembers us. He keeps His promises. He wants to bless us. May we stop our striving and stand back and allow Him to do things His way in His time; may we remember that He is good and He is God
