I have been receiving comments from different people how my a bit long, a bit curly hair fits me. Thanks a lot for your compliments (blushing)! Anyway, one evening on my way home from school, I had the chance to chat with God and I just thanked Him for giving me a curly hair; I told Him I really love it. You see, I never dyed my hair. I never made major treatment on it because I want it just the way the Lord made it. Simple and natural....

And so, this thought made me basked even more on the knowledge of how God meticulously and carefully handpicked each part of my body to create me. He figured out a skin tone that will best fit me. My eyes He made sure, have the right color; and those that are perfect for my round-shaped face. He made sure I have fairly thick eyebrows to go with it too. My nose, lips and ears He made sure have normal sizes and shapes. He even made my body slim and small yet very healthy. I was just in total awe on the fact that He is such a loving and generous CREATOR! And so therefore, I intend to keep my body the way He created it to be.

I'm just wondering sometimes why people need to physically change appearance just to look beautiful. Aren't we already God's masterpieces? And if so, we are already right, without flaw or defect of any kind. If we are God's creations, then we are already perfect because God never makes mistakes. I do not have anything against people who decide to forever change the way God made them. I am not against those who have had lyposuctions, breast implants, nose lifts, hface lifts and other types of unnecessary surgeries. But, I do feel that this in not how God wants us to feel and see ourselves--incomplete. He made us and He made us complete - not lacking or in excess of anything.

Let me just end this sharing by imparting this lovely poem. It reminds me that we are perfectly crafted by God--that we are beautiful, wonderful and truly complete.

All Things Bright and Beautiful

Refrain:
All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small, all things wise and wonderful: the Lord God made them all.

1. Each little flower that opens, each little bird that sings, God made their glowing colors, and made their tiny wings.

2. The purple headed mountains, the river running by, the sunset and the morning that brightens up the sky.

3. The cold wind in the winter, the pleasant summer sun, the ripe fruits in the garden: God made them every one.

4. God gave us eyes to see them, and lips that we might tell how great is God Almighty, who has made all things well.

Words: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1848 (Genesis 1:31)
