We are not an accident

We were planned by God...we may not have been planned by our parents-and we may or may not have the best parents in the world, but Rick Warren writes how God chose those 2 people to make us because they had the perfect and exact genetic make up to make us the way God planned for us to be.

"Long before you were even conceived by your parents,
you were conceived in the mind of God." Rick Warren

God knows our talents before we do-I think the most difficult part for me was to sit back and listen to what God wanted me to do~to listen to his direction. But the more I pray and dedicate my personal time with Him, I feel his presence and guidance, and He has most definitely led me to EXACTLY where I know I should be. I also know that He will continue to lead me, and with faith and surrender He will be my biggest cheerleader as I accomplish His purpose for me!


Question #2 :
I know that God uniquely created me.
What areas of my personality, background, and physical appearance
am I struggling to accept?

That's a great question!!!!!!! 1st I have struggled to accept my EMOTIONAL "Beingness"! I cry at the drop of the hat!! 2nd I have struggled with my weight ever since late elementary school. And 3rd in my background I've struggled with being a Latina but not speaking SPANISH!

So as I've grown and matured I've found that my emotions are beautiful and come from the heart of God. If I have been created in His image then what does that say about my God? Is he way more emotional over me and my dealings? YES He is!! Now at this point can I bring my emotion into order and control, YES I CAN!! And YES I HAVE!!!

As for my weight I've had to learn how to eat better and what exercises work best for me! And if I'm not careful that I can get out of balance pretty quickly.

And lastly, there is a beauty for me at this point in my life to uncover learning a new language. It's one that is familiar to me but is foreign in my everyday talk. It will only take practice! And I'm okay with that!
