As I was reading Cold Tangerines it was blowing my mind that we are sometimes unthankful for the life we have been given, yet we have a God who designed us each differently, who gracefully extended the gift of life in a differently beautiful way for each of us. We can be upset about our life, or we can embrace the person who God has made us to be. There is no one else like us; God solely designed me to be me, and that's all. How amazing it would be if we each lived in that, if we let it move in the deepest part of our soul.
A verse from second Timothy has been replaying in my head over and over lately. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry." (2 Timothy 4:5) Maybe it's stuck out because I've questioned if I am fulfilling my ministry. But I'm glad it's been stuck in my head because it reminds me that it is my role in God's story to fulfill my ministry in whichever way He needs me to. That's huge to me.
On another note, as it's been raining alot here, I've been loving it. I love the way the rain falls against cars and the ground because it is one of the most beautiful sounds, music of the earth that God alone created. There's something incredibly refreshing to me when the rain stops and everything is dripping from the water that just cleansed it in a way. It makes me extremely happy. It just feels so free and fresh. Although it's gray when it rains, it's still so beautiful. It's apart of the seasons of the world. I'm going to go watch the rain, maybe play in it, and write. Today is going to be a great day, the Lord fashioned it :)
