Yesterday, I was out at the bus stop waiting for the bus, and this lady and, I'm going to guess and say it was her older son, maybe he was in his thirties, drove by me and started speaking spanish to me. I told them I don't speak spanish, and then they lady asked me "Is this the size that you are"? I didn't really understand the question, I'm sure I had a puzzled look on my face. Then she said, that they were wondering about me, because I look like a little girl. She then told me that I was precious and that there isn't anybody out there like me. I think she said something about blessings or may God bless you. Then she asked me how old I was.
I just thought it was kind of interesting. A few years ago I probably would have ignored that lady or went off on her, but thanks and glory be to the Most High God, I didn't get upset, I didn't go off. Hallelujah! God is changing me.
I was once an angry and very depressed and negative little something, before I got saved and became a Christian. Now, I am not saying that I am perfect, and that things don't happen that I don't like, or that I never get angry...but I can say that any anger that I have, has simmered down tremendously. And I just thank God for that. It's miserable being so angry all of the time.
Maybe I would be upset when people would ask me questions about how little I was, because I didn't like the fact that I was so little, and I didn't like people pointing it out to me or anybody else. But in the course of time, in this journey in the Lord, I am realizing and am happy and thankful that God made me who I am. God Almighty in Heaven made me. Who took time out to make me. He made me with special care, and I have no reason to not like being little.
A few years ago, I remember an incident where people kept coming up to me and saying, "Oh, hi, a little person". I shared this with someone in my church, who is alot more knowledgeable in the scriptures and also in the Lord, and she was telling me that God is letting me know that I am little. I think at this time in my life I was kind of oblivious and maybe in denial about how little I was, but this was a time where God was wanting me to know that I am little, and to come to the realization of that. But to not only realize it, but not be ashamed or frustrated by it.
And it's happening again, I am just realizing this as I am typing, God is recycling the same thing that happened a couple of years ago, and I didn't even notice it until now. But since I have changed so much, because of God's help, I'm not upset when people are calling me little. I am what I am, and I am proud of that.
Here's a wonderful scripture that I like to meditate on, on those days when people or even my own insecurities try and rise up and overtake me (notice I said "try", but they don't "succeed"):
Psalm 139: 13-16 (the Message)
Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out; you formed me in my mother's womb. I thank you, High God--you're breathtaking! Body and soul, I am marvelously made! I worship in adoration--what a creation! You know me inside and out, you know every bone in my body; You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something. Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth; all the stages of my life were spread out before you, The days of my life all prepared before I'd even lived one day.
Have a wonderful day everybody, and don't forget that you are fearfully and wonderfully made, no matter how big, how small, how wide or how non-wide.
:P
