What Do Women and Zebra Butts Have in Common?
27 Oct
At the Free To Be Me Bloggers’ Retreat this weekend, I felt free alright. Within the first five minutes of a talk on writing basics, I shared that I take creative pictures.
Including pictures of a zebra butt.
Oops. Too much information.
You’d have to know what I was thinking to understand. How do you explain, “I take pictures of zebra butts.”?
Let me try.
For most women, butts are an issue, aren’t they? Well if you’re a zebra, you have nothing to worry about. Your butt is like no other. Better than a designer pair of jeans. Custom colored with unique stripes. Completely covered in fashionable fur.
How could I not snap a picture of the most amazing hind end I’ve ever seen. I had to frame the moment. God’s hand is all over this wild animal’s design. Agree?
I love the creativity of our God.
This is where you and I come in. We need to stop focusing our rear views and what we don’t like about ourselves and start focusing on truth. Our beautiful, unique design. We can remember something about ourselves when we see a zebra butt. Repeat after me:
“God’s creative hand made me.
I am like no other. Created on purpose with a unique and beautiful design in mind.
I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
No buts about it.”
Thanks for allowing me to share a lighthearted post with you today. I’m still tired from the retreat. This is all I have to give right now. Have a blessed day. Tiffany at Tea with Tiffany
I love this, and I love you.
Why are you apologizing? These are the best kind of posts.
Oh and I did repeat after you! LOL
Get some rest my friend.
Blessings,
Kim
That is awesome. I will never look at the backside of a zebra the same again! lol
You are too funny…but you made a great point. We are made in His image indeed and should not fuss about the little wrinkles that start to appear (hmmm – I mean myself)…Thank you for the fun post this morning.
This makes me smile. B
Tiffany, you certainly grabbed my attention with the title of your post today. LOL. I think you’re still laughing after the blog retreat but I think that’s great. I guess I have to start looking at life from different angles.
Oh Tiffany,
One of the best posts I have ever read. I LOVE it… and girl, I am repeating:
“God’s creative hand made me.
I am like no other. Created on purpose with a unique and beautiful design in mind.
I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Amne…. Amne… AMEN!!!! I lov eyou girl. Miss you a ton already. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Lynn
Tiffany,
Just what I needed to hear!!!! I think I am going to frame a couple of pictures of zebra butts and put them where I can see them daily. LOL
I needed this today — bless you. From one zebra to another.
Girlfriend, this was AWESOME!! And to think you can wear that reminder any day you want to thanks to Donetta’s zebra pin she made!
Oh how I miss you already!
Tiffany,
Your amazing vision of seeing God’s grace and hand in our daily lives is always an inspiration to me.
Thank-you for reminding us to love our inner Zebra butt!
lol, That is so cute, I love it.
I LOVE it…what a great(funny) way to think of it all.
So funny! But with just the perfect TRUTH under it all!
I love it! I will never think of zebras the same again!!
Blessings!
Excellent point! Thanks for sharing today. I enjoyed your post.
LOL, this girl who is always lamenting about her butt thanks you for this post.
You are the most beautiful turtle dove…
No butts about it.:)
So very good…and unique…I am quite sure I have never read a post on this before….
I am grinning big time and am going to share to all who asks the reason for my grin. Lovely post. Thanks for reminding, I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
