Perfectly Imperfect!

 

One of my new favorite hobbies is crocheting dish cloths. I'm not a perfect crocheter by any stretch of the imagination, and no two dish cloths that I crochet are the same. In fact, they all turn out completely different. They differ in size, shape, color, and consistency in the loops, but each time I finish one, they look beautiful to me because they will all be used for the same purpose - to be a sturdy cleaner for dishes, countertops, etc. They suit and fulfill their purpose.

I think I'm like my dish cloths. God created me, and to Him, I am beautiful. There is nothing perfect about me and there are always flaws, but there is no one else like me and my life has a purpose. I'm trying to live my life in the way God placed me here to live it. But no matter how I look or how life has shaped me, I am still useful to Him. And so it is with each and every one of us!

I pray that we can all be like my perfectly-imperfect dish cloths, seeing the beauty in ourselves and cherishing our imperfections, remembering that our lives have a purpose and we all matter.

And if you would like to order any of these dish cloths, they come in a 3-pack for $6.00 + $4.00 for shipping. Message me😊

Have an amazing week!

A New Day!

 Well, I'm beginning again! I hope I can carry on with the updates this time😏

After turning 60 last year, I've committed to telling myself how beautiful and amazing I am, and not just saying the words but believing them, which is still hard to do sometimes. Nevertheless, I'm still invested in coming to see myself the way God sees me, hair loss and all. I've discovered how easy it is for women to affirm the beauty in others while feeling less than stellar ourselves.

That stops now!

Starting now, even on my worse days - days when I feel like a sinking ship physically and emotionally - I'm going to see myself through God's eyes and know that I have just as much value as anyone else, regardless of how I age or how little hair I have left. I'll simply keep expanding my wig collection and continue to diversify my style! Every curve and stretch mark I wear was earned from birthing eight children. And since I am grateful for having each and every one, I will embrace each and every sign of their existence, and mine!😊

I hope you all have an amazing day and stay beautiful!
