Be yourself...

Everyone else is already taken.
I love this quote by Oscar Wilde... it's been one of my favorite quotes since college. We may all be created in God's image, but we are not cookie cutters. God is amazing and unique in and of himself... so it just goes without saying that his creations would be too...
We all have different talents, gifts and abilities... Our lives are intricately bound together like the one of a kind snowflake... each one its own unique design.
When we form relationships or friendships, our uniqueness shines through... I'm not good at math, but my husband is.... I'm very musical, he's a little more analytical. We make a good team because our weaknesses are strengthened by the other.
Psalm 139:13-18 reminds us: For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.  
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. 
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand
when I awake, I am still with you.

We are God's craftmanship, and as I've mentioned before... God doesn't make junk. So whether you're a bookworm, a science geek, a mythology lover, a techy, whatever your strengths... you were made to be special... and God doesn't make mistakes. 
Have a blessed Monday!
