God's Design For Your Life...

Becoming a Brilliant & Beautiful Part of God's Design for Your Life...

God's design for our lives isn't always what we thought it would be. Just like the picture shown above, who would suppose that a used up large wine glass found in a Thrift Store that sold for $1, what someone deemed as a useless Antique Hand Blown Glass Perfume Bottle found in a Consignment Shop for $4, and jewelry rarely worn lying in my jewelry chest could make such a transformation into a stunning centerpiece I recently hosted a table for.

The event I recently helped my local church with was entitled "Beautiful". As one of the Table Hostesses, I tried to link the theme of what a woman's mind sometimes goes to when she hears the word "Beauty", and took that idea and incorporated it into my Table Scape Design. I love the way God uses the every day events in our lives to show us who HE is!

I was then inspired to bring them all together to create beauty, but also a unique twist of interest to my table. In my mind, I saw them collectively as a rare and individual set of mismatched gems that put together would provide my table a breathtaking centerpiece. In many ways, we ourselves represent the thrown away wine glass, left for gone perfume bottle, and yes., even the rarely visited jewelry. As women, we can sometimes feel that our purpose in life is futile, goes unnoticed, and rarely gets a visit to recognize the beauty we have within us. And sometimes we ourselves don't appreciate or comprehend the beauty God has endowed us with.

Today I encourage you to think about where you fit in to the "Beautiful" scheme of things. Whoever you are, whatever you are doing in life, you are valuable to our Creator.

Staying In The Day with you and meditating on how God takes the worst parts of us, cleans us through and through and creates a spectacular sparkling centerpiece, collectively! Ecclesiastes 3:11, "He has made "Everything" beautiful in it's time..." ~CC
