Light Bulb Moments

So if anybody reading this is also reading my craft blog you know that I've been busy crocheting things for craft fairs this fall and haven't done anything new in a while. If you read today's post you know that I've spent the last few days working on a Tree of Life, and while it definitely didn't come out perfect I'm pretty happy with it since I basically made my own instructions in my head. Since my craft blog I try to keep dedicated to crafting I thought I would talk about my "light bulb moment" I had while making it in this blog. Half way through making it I looked at it and all I could think was "meh". It was nothing to show off to anybody, nothing I would bring to a talent show, there was really no excitement at all for me while I was looking at it. The thought struck me then that when God made me He didn't say that. We are made in his image, we are "fearfully and wonderfully made", and as the creation of a perfect being we ended up exactly how He wanted us to. All the little "flaws" I see in myself are only things that I and the world around me sees as flaws (note, I'm taking about physical attributes here, not heart issues, those are all entirely mine). It's incredibly comforting to know that when God finished making me He looked at me with satisfaction, He was happy; there was no doubt, no second guessing, no wishful thinking. On a completely different note, the transmission went in my car again, and The Boy and his father are replacing it for me, so to thank them I made sugar cookies with pink lemonade frosting and sprinkles, and they are delicious. Especially because I decided to put at least a quarter inch thick layer of frosting on each cookie, and seriously, who doesn't like sprinkles? Anyway, I'm off to see if I can make another Tree of Life any better a second time around. Later :)
