de novo

de novo means, from the beginning

Trent's life didn't look like what his parent's dreamed.
He couldn't move, couldn't eat, would never grow
beyond the newborn developmental stage. Yet, he
lived! Far beyond what the doctor's thought, far
beyond what anyone thought would be possible.
Trent's life was nothing like anyone expected; but God
used him mightily. From the very beginning God
embedded in his DNA what would make Trent's life so
remarkable. His life was no accident, he was exactly
who God made him to be: a warrior, fiercely loved.
