We made bracelets. So girly, and so..well, refreshing.
I do love being in a crafty mood; seems to be happening more often lately, but I can't figure out what's the meaning behind the sudden urge to be artsy. Maybe sitting in Blackbird coffee shop did it to me. Then again, maybe it's the past week's unusual gift of free time. Regardless, I don't hate it. But I do wonder what it'd be like to be one of those really unique, creative people. You know who I mean. The person who's every thought keeps you unusually interested. It's 11:32 pm, which might explain this rambling. Maybe there's a point, though.
Ah, yes. Here it is, haha: I was reminded a lot this week of how the lord created my heart uniquely and creatively. Only he knows the remedy to bring my heart and soul to rest. Makes you really realize you're his child when he calms or creates a situation to show his strength through your weakness. hm. Way to be awesome, lord.
and then he showed me this:)
"But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong."
(2 Corinthians 12:9-10)
aaand
"For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men."
(1 Corinthians 1:25)
