Sometimes I forget . . .

Sometimes I forget that I am a girl. That God has made me just the way He wants me- a girl! In our singles' study we are reading a book called Master, Mission, Mate by Ken Graves. He explains that the language of Genesis implies that God created Adam in His image and then created Eve from Adam. Not in addition to Adam, but by taking a part of Himself from Adam. That together we make fully illustrate God's image. It's a cool thought. Sometimes we try to be what we are not.

What brought this up tonight? Last night I bought pink paisley/floral flannel sheets for my bed. I wasn't sure how I felt about them last night, but now I love them! I can see them from where I sit in my Dorset Gold living room, which I realize is a "girl" color. I finally went outside this evening to clear a foot+ of snow from my car, and I left a square on the very top, just so I could be reminded of the total amount of snow, I guess. No man that I know would ever do that. I then finished it off by making a snow angel in my backyard. I wouldn't even get to do all these things if I was a married girl!

This morning I looked outside at about 7:00am to see that Daniel(landlord, neighbor, friend) had already snowblowed and shoveled this morning. He was loading up the snow blower to go snowblow other people's drives, I think, with Chad. I was very glad then that I wasn't a boy. Even if I had to do the shoveling or snow blowing (which thankfully I don't!) I wouldn't enjoy it enough to travel with it! Boys are so weird!

***I'm not bashing, though. I do realize there are good points in the design of both sexes, and can only truly appreciate them the longer I walk with God. All in all, I am just glad to be who God created me to be!

BTW- I think we got nearly a foot and a half of snow this weekend, and it's still coming down! It made for a great snow angel!
