Have You Ever Thought About How Creative God Is?

Have you really, really thought about it?

Have You Ever Thought About How Creative God Is?

I recently made the decision to start the book, Crazy Love, and stumbled across this paragraph:

Doesn't this make you catch your breath? Until that very moment, when I finished that paragraph, I never thought over how creative God is.

I mean, of course, He is super creative in the sense that He created the entire universe and all that is in it, but when you actually think about it, it's pretty mind-blowing. Do you realize how big this world is?

My favorite way to think about this is in terms of sunsets. I live in Texas so the sunsets here are incredible, but I know sunsets in other places are just as beautiful. Every single day, God creates hundreds of thousands of different colorful sunsets. Not one sunset will ever look the same as another; each one unique with its own color scheme, texture, and intensity. I like to think that the sky is God's palette and the sunset is His way of painting us a pretty picture to end the day. I believe that God likes to show Himself and how big He is through His creation.

There are 400,000 different types of flowers, 7,500 varieties of apples, and 10 types of clouds. There are currently 7.4 billion people in this world, and within those 7.4 billion, there is not one person in the world exactly like you.

God made you unique. He created the perfect color eyes for you. He made your nose just the right size, exactly how He wanted it to look. He crafted you perfectly in His image and through doing that, He made the world uniquely beautiful.

So next time you're feeling down about yourself, and you think you're not all that, think about that. Think about the fact that God made hundreds of different types of bananas and still decided that the world needed someone like you too.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
