Don't be ashamed how God created you. Reading my devotions really made me realize that I am Gods masterpiece. I want to share something with you that is very personal to me. My mom, my sister Sarah, and myself have Treacher Collins Syndrome............................................
Treacher Collins Syndrome is a birth defect that has several characteristic features including underdeveloped cheek and jaw bones, misshapen or missing ears and down slanting eyes. It can vary in severity from a very subtle presentation that may go unrecognized to the more severe cases that are noticed immediately and may present with related problems.
Treacher Collins Syndrome is a genetic condition occurring in approximately 1 of 10,000 births. It may occur as a spontaneous mutation out of genetically normal parents or it may be inherited from one of the parents. A spontaneous mutation occurs very early in development and presently there is no link between a mothers activities and the condition. If one parent is affected there is a 50% chance of passing it on to the offspring. drome. Here's a little info. on Treacher.
It also can affect the hearing, speech, breathing, and eating problems.........
So I have the slanting of the eyes, underdeveloped cheek bones, jaw bone and I have small ears. And I also have a hearing problem, I do wear hearing aid. You know growing up especially when I got to middle school my sister and I got picked on. It wasn't always easy but we survived. I can remember this one time this guy kept calling me Snoopy. I kept telling him to stop, leave me alone, But he kept on and on. So, I got so mad and turned around and punched him as hard as I could in the stomach, needless to say he never messed with me any more.
(OK hitting someone is not the answer to everything, even tough he deserved it) I read this verse and it said.......And I praise you because of the wonderful way you created me. Everything you do is marvelous! Of this I have no doubt. With your own eyes you saw my body being formed. Even before I was born, you had written in your book everything I would do. Psalm 139:14..................Don't be ashamed how God created you....So what you might look different.....Looks aren't everything, it what's in your heart. My heart is beautiful, because God made it beautiful back in March. Is your heart beautiful?
So in my my daily step........ Look in the mirror and really look at yourself and then turn to God and say "God you have done a good job. I am beautiful inside and out. Thank you for creating me just the you wanted. Give him the praise and glory to him. .......................Then give your self a little whistle..OK I have to tell you whistling @ myself was pretty weired and funny......... Have a wonderful evening.........Please continue to pray for youth camp......The last count I got was 11 students have gotten saved...Praise the Lord.
