She got it from her Momma! by: Sarah
Wait, actually, she got it from her….Maker, her Father, whether she knows Him or not.
Maker of heaven and earth, made and designed each one of us.
Whaaaaat… all your quirky personality traits, your strong ability to scan a room and notice someone who is all alone, your singing talent, love for poetry, sports ability, all of it. Made by God.
“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth” -Psalm 139:13,15
Now imagine God knitting you together… choosing yarn, what your features would be like (including the ones you don’t always love). Putting in enough goofiness to make others, but mostly yourself, smile. Creating your mind, knowing how much He desired and still desires for you to focus less on the distractions and fear around you, and more on how much he loves you.
“Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.” -Psalm 139:16
Picture God as He created you. He was knitting and knitting away as he planned each day of your life before you even began it. He didn’t stop in the middle of my life, or your younger years, and think “not good enough…I should just stop.” He didn’t give up on you. And more than that, He planned an amazing future for you.
But what happens when the completed work the Father makes isn’t happy? When we hate the life we are given, unhappy each morning? Let me ask you something, does the quilt cry “I hate this pattern!” or the tablecloth complain “why can’t I be a sheet?” Neither should we be so focused on parts of our bodies or lives that seem incomplete compared to the girl down the street.
God made you this way and guess what? He loves every part of you. How could he not? Remember, He made you?
“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” -Psalm 139:14
Do you know that full well? That His works, cough cough YOU, are wonderful. Then let’s praise Him. Let’s think of God the next time someone compliments us on a project that turned successful, on the goal we made to win the game. Let’s thank Him for the moments we are proud of, knowing He made us this way. And let’s thank Him for the parts we are sometimes afraid to let show, for He loves those even more.
“Many, Lord my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can compare with you; were I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would be too many to declare.” -Psalm 40:5
God has so precisely knit our lives together. We’ve all experienced moments in our lifetime that we think “wow life is crazy awesome!” I will strive to now think, “wow, how awesome are the plans the Father has for me…” I’m so thankful that He knit me.

Hey! This is, hopefully, the most automated comment you will ever-ever receive from me. I’ve popped over to say I finally put together the blogroll for NanoPoblano, I wanted you to check it out, and make sure that (1) you still want to participate and (2) your blog name is written as you want it written, and (3) I didn’t leave out super important information. Then, leave a comment introducing yourself. This is the page I’ll be directing people to through the month, so I’m hoping they’ll see your comment and be excited to go check you out. It should say something like, “Hey, Cheer Peppers– I’m So&So. I write about such&such. Come by and say hey.” I’ll be pruning comments on that page so it’s just link backs from posts, positive Pepper messages, and your intro. I’ll be sharing the page tomorrow night, all over town, so if you can put something up before then, that’d be awesome. If not, no worries, we have a whole month to go. https://rarasaur.wordpress.com/nanopoblano-2015/ ❤
