(every once in awhile I feel like using my Spanish skills!)
Today holds the promise of being a good day…
…my mentor is returning from a vacation in Chicago…
…I feel great, no allergy problems today…
…the sun is shining–it’s going to be a very warm (HOT) day…
…my prayer time was really good this morning…
I posted a quote yesterday that has caused me to think quite a bit:
“Let God be as original with others as he was with you.”–Oswald Chambers
I know at times I am frustrated with people because we do things differently…or I see something in someone that I wish I possessed…and I often forget that God created us all to be individuals…even down to physical things, like fingerprints…
I am so quick to see “faults” in others, but so quick to overlook those which I possess…and yet, are they really “faults” persay? Or did God give me that characteristic for a reason?
I believe that He created us to be exactly how He wants us to be! He is a perfect God, and does not make mistakes…yet I question His judgment and His creativity so often! The worst is that I often criticize His judgment in creating ME…I often ask, “What was He thinking?”
I am…
imperfect…
musical…
short…
green-eyed…
kinda loud…
intelligent…
artistic…
stubborn…
verbal…
compassionate…
emotional…
punctual…
obsessive/compulsive at times…
friendly…
And the list goes on…many of these things are a cause of frustration in my life…and I just have to realize that they are things that are either in my life for a purpose, or things that I can work on…and I also have to realize that I am “wonderfully made” (Psalm 139), and that means that I’m “not so bad” 🙂 afterall.
Today (and always) I need to see others as God sees them…as originals…
Even So, Joy
