Have you ever tried on a dress that was just not your style—ill-fitted for the shape God gave you?
I have been “blessed” with a pear shape figure, smaller on top and curvy on bottom; literally.
Straight, fitted dresses are a death sentence for my body type. I need extra material down south to cover the bulk.
Last week I tried to wear a style that was not flattering on me. No, it wasn’t a dress style, it was a writing style. I tried to pull on a style that looked good on others, but it was not a good fit for who God has made me to be.
I was trying to wear something shiny and sleek so that I would gain attention and maximize impact.
But, it didn’t lay nicely and it felt uncomfortable.
I was conflicted. I was trying so hard for it to fit, but it just wouldn’t. It did not complement how I was made, much to my dismay.
But here’s the thing, God made each of us a certain way, completely on purpose.
While we might be irritated with the largeness or smallness of our mold, Our Creator was intentional when He spun us on the Potter’s Wheel.
Come on over for the rest of the story as Katie hosts the #RaRaLinkup over at her place, katiemreid.com, today…
[…] I’m linking up with my dear friends at PurposefulFaith.com for the #RaRaLinkup, where we link arms to spread some love and encouragement each Tuesday morning. […]
Love how you have chosen to have Katie host the #RaRalinkup at her own site today, Kelly. I see so much growth in you even in the short time I have known you – you are being so intentional about deflecting any glory that others would bestow on you, and giving it all to Christ where it rightfully belongs.
You are an inspiration, sweet friend.
Much love,
Kamea
This means more to me than you know Kamea. Thank you for this. It was sent from God.
In that case, I am honoured to be the messenger and to share His love for you, His precious daughter 🙂
Love and hugs,

You certainly blessed me with a word from God!
