DAY 2
YOU ARE NOT AN ACCIDENT
POINT TO PONDER: I am not an accident.
My thoughts on this: I was lucky enough to be blessed by parents that planned me, but I was also planned by God and He blessed my parents with my birth. he chose THEM specifically because He knew that they were the best parents to fulfill His plan.
Poem by Russell Kelfer:
You are who you are for a reason.
You're part of an intricate plan.
You're a precious and perfect unique design,
Called God's special women or man.
You Look like you look for a reason.
Our God made no mistake.
He knit you togeter within the womb,
You'r just what he wanted to make.
The parents you had were the ones he chose,
And no matter how you may feel,
They were custom-designed with God's plan in mind,
And they bear the Master's seal.
No, the trauma you faced was not easy.
And God wept that it hurt you so;
But it was allowed to shape your heart
So that into his likeness you'd grow.
You are who you are for a reason,
You've been formed by the Master's rod.
You are who you are, beloved,
Because there is a God!
VERSE TO REMEMBER: "I am your creator. You were in my care even before you were born."Isiah 44:2 (CEV)
QUESTION TO CONSIDER: I know that God uniquely created me. What areas of my personality, background, and physical appearance am I struggling to accept.
MY ANSWER: Seems my whole life I've struggled. I was a sickly kid with asthma, I was hurt badly by an adult when I was a child. Then as a teenager I struggled in other ways. I starved myself and struggled with my weight. I know God created me the way he did, but THAT is very hard for me to accept. I am also struggling to accept why certain things have happened to me as I grew up. As far as my personality, I wrote on my other page some aspects of my personality that I don't like....Here they are: I can't turn my head off at times. I overanalize everything. I live in fear at times. I'm a little compulsive at times. Sometimes I make other people's problems my own. If someone else is feeling blue, I let myself start feeling what they feel. I'm not complaining, I know all these things even the bad, made me who I am today. I just wish some of the things hadn't happened, and wonder how much stronger I could be if these things didn't happen. But I know in my heart nothing is an accident on God's part. Especially us.
