I Am Not God

Just thought I’d let you in on that in case you didn’t know. Even though He made me pretty creative, our responses to our projects are worlds apart. After each day of creation, God said, “It was good.” After each of my creative efforts I say, “Well bless my heart!”

Today I finished up a project I have been working on for a week. Sort of. At least until I figure out how to keep the strands of macrame from sagging worse than my boobs do! Well, maybe not that bad.

Part of the reason the project took so long is I couldn’t remember how to do square knots even though I made thousands of them back in my macrame heydays. I watched youtube videos. Ronald tried to guide me. I called my older brother who tried to tell me. When my muscle memory finally kicked in, I remembered why their directions made no sense. I make the knots with backward stitches. I go over, then under – the exact opposite of what the boys told me.

As if you need to figure how else God and I are different, He has a plan. I work on a wing and a prayer – and maybe a few choice words. I am an OCD person’s worst nightmare. I take asymmetrical to a whole nother level!

God always knows how things should and will end up. Most times, I don’t have a clue. I finally figured how to secure each strand. It’s amazing what two bottles of super glue and some needle and thread can accomplish. Not pretty, but I hid most of the mess in the back corner against the wall. All’s good. I will figure out the rest of the sloping mess tomorrow.

In these trialsome times, I am so glad God has a plan. He is still making sure everything is moving toward the final, beautiful eternity He has planned for all creation. It will be a dazzling and awesome display of His perfection.

“O Lord God! You have made the heavens and earth by Your great power; nothing is too hard for You!”
