Back in college I knew a girl who shared some thoughts about love. She read a book that explained how most people go around life thinking they are only half a circle and must look for their other half to make them whole and complete. We hear this expression all the time, "my other half - or my better half". Well she explained that the book said we need to stop that way of thinking and instead be complete, a full circle, before finding love. I could understand and see the sense in this, but wondered how I would know when I was my own circle, full and complete and ready to love and be loved? Well, here I am, years later - um 16 to be exact - and I am finally realizing that I have reached that point. Now. I am complete. I am my own circle. I know it is true because of this feeling of joy that surges through me. This feeling for which I can only give credit to *ONLY* give credit to God. Because I have finally come to realize and truly accept that I am exactly who God made me to be, and He has a plan uniquely crafted for me, in me, and through me. So I when I found this ring on Etsy, this full circle ring, uniquely crafted and handmade for me, I ordered it. And every time I look down at my stubby hand, oh that darn stubby hand, I smile and find joy, that yes, God has a plan for this stubby hand, for this unique and artistic girl - and I can feel satisfied to be nobody else, but me.


I like it. Be whole in Christ.
