Explaining my name.

The Bible says that God puts His treasures in common containers (earthen vessels, jars of clay) and that even if we're not anything special, we can still be used for special purposes (2 Corinthians 4:7 and 2 Timothy 2:20-21). You can see by my LJ name what I think of my container, which is why I really like those verses. I don't care if I ever do

Hey, there's nothing wrong with cracks ... they can be repaired! *hugs*

I think this is a really beautiful post, and I completely understand your username now. My own container is cracked, but little by little, I feel some of those cracks are slowly mending *hugs*

Oh, and that's a really pretty icon.

Thank you. *hugs*

To me, one of the hardest things about faith in God is trusting that he does have a purpose for us, even though we may never know it. We never know how many people we have touched in our lives. Sometimes, I think it's our place in the web of connections that brings everyone to their fullest potential rather than any one big purpose.

Most of the time I feel like I haven't found my place in the web yet, or I haven't found the web. But maybe I don't need to know. *shrugs*
