The beauty of an ugly hairbow

I got my feelings hurt today. It did not feel good, it was not good, it was not loving, BUT in it I found God. He is so good to me. I doubt Him often, and often he shows himself good to me.
I am a wife, mother, daughter, friend, etc, but my most important and most fitting role, will always be that of My Abba's child. And it is when I'm resting in that role that all the others seem to make sense.
I was forced to run to God with my hurt feelings today and he heard my cry, he assured me of who I am unlike any other could. Of course, God my creator knows well who I am.
So the rest of the afternoon I gave up the shows I usually use to fill my time and decided not to check facebook or read the million blogs I subscribe to. I turned some good Jesus music on iTunes and cooked, cleaned, and soaked in his goodness.
Then I was feeling inspired tonight to create(which I haven't done in weeks), and I created an ugly hairbow. I love making felt hairbows. It seems like I always get stuck with creating what I have already seen, so I decided to make something ugly, colors I wouldn't normally put together and just some randomness of buttons, and guess what, I actually kind of like it. Maybe no one else in the world would see its beauty(although my husband said it was cute, but he always does), but for me it is a declaration of my special role here on this earth, no cookie cutter could make it, but I was formed in the hands of my creator, for his glory, and in that I find great joy and peace.
