.::Diversity::.

I was sitting in Zoology class yesterday, listening to my teacher talk about the evolution of animals and Darwin's discoveries. She mentioned "Darwin's finches" and how there were so many evolutions of them. Even through those evolutions each finch was a little different. I was amazed. Not at what she said but at how amazing my God is.

He created thousands of different birds with thousands of different characteristics. He was not limited to one type of beak, one type of wing span, one type of color. It didn't take Him a million billion years to "evolve" a bird. No, He did it in one day. How amazing is He? I have trouble convincing myself that I came from an ape and it took so long to change forms. I simply relish the thought that my God created me to be as diverse and unique as He created the birds to be.

I am not like you, you are not like your best friend. He made you to be you. As a girl, I find myself saying, "Oh, I want to be like her," or, "I wish I was...athletic, beautiful, popular, outgoing...." God did not make us to be carbon copies of each other. He made us diverse in characteristics as well as appearance. He did not want us to "evolve" into someone else. He made us different and He loves us just the way we are.

Enjoy God's diversity! You're part of His amazing "one day creations!"
