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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
