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.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
