more than the sum of our parts

i am realizing i have addictive/obsessive tendencies. UGH, two things that never seem to be a good fit. My latest victims have been boots, hockey, and knitting... And hockey has been a love of mine since i was about 15, so i've spent over half of my life memorized by men on skates- which makes me want to crack some Brian Boitano/Kurt Browning joke- but i digress... In that case i've given up and accepted that fact. i'm pretty sure in high school when the senior mosts were done i would have been most likely to marry a hockey player- which so far hasn't come true- although, if you know any single gentlemen send them my way- especially if they are Canadian... again, i digress and am divulging way too much about my weakness for Canadian men, and have veered way off topic...
i did find some boots that fit my fancy, and it was a traumatic experience since my body/legs seem to not fit into the mold of average. This is where the obsession becomes unhealthy, and was where i was originally going- it becomes unhealthy when there has been a mold created for us by society, and we do not fit it... it used to get me depressed with the realization that i was not ____(fill in the blank, taller, smaller, blond, prettier, etc the list goes on forever). Now i think it just makes me mad. i get mad because we were created by a Creator who delights in us-- DELIGHTS in us. i feel like we are robbed of accepting ourselves for who we are created to be, and what we are created for. i guess i also loose patience when others are so blatantly rude when it come to those who are not ______(fill in the blank).
We were/are created to be a reflection of God, so who am i to judge? And for those who judge me i am learning to not take that judgement personally, because it may be directed toward me, and it may be about me- but that does not define me (i guess unless i were a horrible human being, and then if that were the case- please tell me)...
Praise God we are more than we think we are, and are loved way more than we deserve....
