Beauty

I’m at my sisters apartment for my spring break. I’ve been here for around 2 days and I've already learned something. Me and her were watching Life. No not the bored game. No not the cereal Its a TV show esenctly plant earth. But orphan Winfree as the hostess(not sure that what you would call her). It was an episode on the ocean. And let me tell you some of these animals were UGLY. I’m talking long neck dinosaur looking creatures with eggs of them. I’m talking about fish that eat mud and ones that look like a mix between a frog a snake and a fish, but fight like a reptile maybe. It opens its mouth as wide as it will go and just charges. But man alive were some of these animals ugly.

Genesis 1
"And God said, "Let the water teem with living creature hanging s, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky." 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth." 23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day."
I personal think some animals and fish and even birds are not only revolting in sight but also smell. I think there ugly and stupid and wonder why they have to live on the earth. But on the fifth day when God was done with it all he sat back patted Him self on the back and say man this looks good yahhhhhhh boy. And this humble puts me in my spot and reminds me "Dani you are on crack and don't know what the crap beauty is" See the thing is God maid ever single creator and maid them look just the way he wanted. See He didn't see this fish and go of crap that’s ugly ah to lazy to fix it. God maid ever single fish and ever single creature just the way he wanted it to look. He made them BEAUTIFUL in his eyes those fish are the most BEAUTIFUL thing to Him.

Genius 1
26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, [b] and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.

28 God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."

29 Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food." And it was so.

31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

God gave man and create there same exact command be fruitful and multiply. The difference though is God maid man have control over the creatures of the earth. That is not my point though. He did the same thing with humans as animals he sat back patted him self on the back and said man i done good. Look at the fine job. But humans weren't just good to God. OH no they were Very good so to put this in more modern terms. creates work like BEAUTIFUL. But humans they were HOT i mean a number 10 and the hot scale. now as vulgar as all of this sounds its not relay what God was thinking but simply an image to present. I think we have lost how significant the word very can change a sentience. This word brake up the monotony. When he created man and woman it was no longer this simply I want this I speak it I create it it was good. No when God maid man and woman he formed them he molded them he didn't just speak it. It would be like this. God painted the creatures on the earth he drew the creatures He maid them and they look grate. But with man he took His own two hands he held them in it. He got the dirt on his hands. And for the time it took him to make the, there was nothing between God and man. He held them in his two hands and formed them He didn’t just speak it he sculpted it. He wasn’t the Boss on the top story saying make this. He was the one making it. Did you notice how much longer it is with God explaining the formation of man compared to the formation of creatures. ? God dint absent-mindedly make man and woman. He thoughtfully formed them. He dint just speak it HE took his own two HOLY hands and formed them. Now it sounds like I’m beating a dead horse but for you to understand what I’m going to say next you have to understand this difference. And also the difference in the word very good verses simply good. It is essentially the difference between the word wicked and nice. Now if you don’t know what the word wicked means you live under a rock. Or you have been coned into thinking that the English langig should never change and wicked is a word that is hilly beneath your superior intellect. Ether way it means one gazillion times better then nice. And that very in the bible meant exactly the same thing. God maid us and we weren’t just Good we were wicked good.

25 The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.

God created us and we were BEUTIFUL they way we were we weren’t just nice because of the cloths and jewelry or make up. No they were naked no cloths no make up no jeweler. The beauty that was being held that day was natural. It was pure beauty. It wasn’t because they took seven hours to look good. They didn’t sow the best leafs together and make sure they went well with there perfection. No they were naked and pure and BEUTIFUL because that is how God maid them. Now you know that like all things in life man and Woman (yes both of them did it because Adam was there with eve and wasn’t tricked into eating the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. You want my reasoning for saying that just ask ill tell you) fail God and they sin. I’m pretty sure it was some time after that faithful day when they sawed fig leafs together. And God then replaced it with animal skin the phrase does this make me look fat came into play. Hopefully Adam was smart unuf to answer it correctly and say no.

10 He answered, "I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid."
11 And he said, "Who told you that you were naked?

This conversation truly shows how it was sops to be. We were sops to be naked and pure and the way God maid us. Because the way He maid us was Beautiful and in no need of any other extra accessories to make us Beautiful. And I think that is why God maid man and woman un aware of there nakedness. He knew the second they saw themselves they would see a tainted picture. Sin that day didn’t just creep in to actions but into the eyes of man. As Eve sat there with Adam sowing fig leaves together they were ashamed. Not because God made something ugly but because there eyes had now become tented. They had experiences turbidity and it wasn’t dissipating.

Their story though is ours. Ever sense that day we still have turbidity floating in our eyes and it is not dissipating. We see a tented image of a beautiful thing God has created. We think we need the clothing and make up and jeweler to make our self’s beautiful. When relay BUETIY is really just pure nakedness. No I’m not saying room around naked because that will surly have you arrested. But in a world ware media is sending pictures of woman who are less the size zero and men whose muscles bulge so much they can’t be contained in shirts. Where pimples and crazy hair don’t exist we forget the pure naked beauty. I have seen people butcher them self’s piece by piece and rent about how this is to big and this is to small. I’ll admit I do it. I have big shoulders witch makes it difficult to find collard shirts that fit me ever ware without cutting of the blood flow to my arms. But my shoulders are good for the manual labor I do. When God maid me He sat back patted his self on the back and said man I done good. And if he can do that with me he can do it with any one. I mean get real I’m dyslexic have a lazy eye, have knee problems have abnormally large feet for my height and have a face that sometimes loves to brake out. But when God maid me when He took his two hand and sculpted me He said this is very good. And He did the same with you.

Our picture of beauty has been tainted by media generations before us people before us and for some there own family. We like I did with the fish go oh man that ugly. But God looks and says It is good. Not just good very good. When sin entered the world so did ugly. Before sin there was no such things as skinny fat tall or short. There was no discrimination because you weren’t type A. It was naked pure beauty. It wasn’t because of cloths or jewelry or make up that Adam and Eve look fine it was because God maid them that way. And God dint change the design after that in his punishment on mad kind he dint say and now you will all be ugly. The natural beauty God placed on Adam and Eve that day still runs true through us many years later. It isn’t the dising that changed but the way people view it. The turbidity that has clouded up our eyes tainted they way we view our self’s and its time we clan it out. I’m not going to tell you how to do that, because God moves with ever one in different ways. I don’t know how he will show you that He did indeed make you BEUTIFUL. It may just be time to look in the mirror stop listening to the world’s version of beauty and look at what God holds. I’m not sure how He will move to show you He maid you BEUTIFUL but i pray you will open your heart to it. Because I guaranty you if you let God in He is coming in.

So that fish yeah maybe I don’t think it looks to nice. And maybe I’m not way into how its eyes are colored. But God is. Worldly beauty is futile and fleeting But Godly BEUTY is forever. That fish looks good to another fish is what I can tell you. Now weather the other fish wants guppies or dinner I cant tell you. But what I can say is these fish are beautiful God spoke them into the world. And humans ware formed by Gods holy hand, WE ARE VERY BEUTIFUL.

Equiped

I wont apoligs for not wrighting in a long while i care not to draw out a stor aoubt it or even alberat on why.. Truth is i simpley have no time. If you need more thne that then ask me.

I asked a frined a question today as she started sorting through the stacks of colliger infermation she needed now to narow donwn. I asked to do oyu feal calleld to be in ministry. I new the answer beofr she siad it but i also know how she woudl resoponds. Well im not good with people im not thins im not that so no. The problum was that wasnt my quesiton. I aksed her if she felt a call not if she thought shw as a equped for it.

My frind demistrates soetinh that hppanes all the time. We telll our selfs we arnt being called to something simpley beocuse we do not feal equiped. And the truth of the matter is. If God is calling you to it He willequip you for it. But Dani you dont get it God is claling to me to crazy stuff He want s me to fly across the world and eat worm and tlak in a tong i never have beofr and dani dont learn forin langiges well. Well my friend im gladd you brought that up i would like to share with you some things i think you sohuld know, or a sapos people you souhld knnow.

First Moses. Yes yes Moses diivers the people formt he promis land. But lets look alittle dipper. Moses wasnt even part of pharso real family. And the people who he actul was born from tunred agenst him becosue he got the royeal tremamet. Not menchin he was an out cast from pharo after he killed a solder diffending a slave. Then he goes to live the simple life in the wilderness. That all fine and dandy til la burn bush that isnt relay burning tell him to welll her let em just play this out for you insted
Hay moses
Waht the camil
Dotnb e scared, jsut tkae a deep breath, its me God
Um i uh um uh ui just i uh
You know God of iseral
Yha i un
Well ok i know you knw who i ma so imj sut goignot go on
Well but i uh
Heres the deal you knwo my peole te isrelats and your botheres and sister well there being opressed and im not to kean on that and theve benen praying adn its time for them to be done with all this.
um i uh uha
Andi wna toyu to go toalk to pharo you knwo no biggy and tlel hm to well leet my people go
Butttttn GGGGod IIII weLLLLL i uh kinDDDDa SSSSSStuter.
Um Moses Im God hellllllllllllooooooo
WELLL buuuuut i CCCCCCCant
Moses im God woudnt clalyou if i didnt think you could

Ok now that not exxacly or realy how it went. But the piont is God is usieng Moses the Guy who stuters to speack throguh to a hole Nation. A NATION.

Next on the list Saul turn Paul. Well now lets ee. He was a well how do i put this iwth out stepppung on any toes a Chrsitne killer. He went aroudn and kileld christne s for there relligion. But you know all thos books in the bible like ther eltter to the Romans or the churhc in Ephesion or what ever els. Yeah well Saul turn Paul wrought thos. So God used aChrsuten killer tunred him aroudn and maid hima hug influnece for GOd ok.

And my last exmpy and i asum my least favrit is me. Im just goignto though this litlte peace of iriony out there. Ok God is useing me to wright a blog. Wow dani ironc. no it gets better. Im 17. Ok a little more intresting. Wait there mroe. Im dyslexic. Ha hA wait waht. Yeah like you didnt already think soemitnhg was messed up. Ok so wait let me get this striagh God is usieng a 17 yearold who has trouble spelling to wright a BLog. Um yep that how it is. IRonnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Ok so what s the piont of all of this. I jsut gave you 3 of the countless exampleys of people God has used to do what He wanted done. Adn thease arnt jsut people thease are people who i cna beat and in my case garinty did not boelve they were equoiped for the job. The funny thing is God knew they were and He used them. And in Moses and Pauls case o change history.

So i have a quesoint. Can you Gods mind? How cna you thne say i ma not equiped ofr this. Being equiped isnt about what o think your abilitys are but wht abilties God ahs put in oyu. Adn the ttuth of the mater is only God knwo what all of thos abilitys are. If we sit aroudn and let what we rhink we are equiped to do dicatat our lives thenw e will never acomplish aytihng. But if we alow God to dicatet what we are equiped for then we have the ability to do grate tihngs. If God is claling you to it He will equip oyu for it. What is He claling you to?
