My diamond for today should definitely be jewellery.

This must sound very materialistic, but in my case it is not. One of my hobbies is to make jewellery. I don't do it very often - but sometimes the inspiration jumps at me and then I can do it for hours. For days in a row. When I am finished, I sometimes wear it a few times, sometimes I just look at it and other times I give it away. Sometimes when I want to create something new I just cut the cord and start all over again.

I really like the process of putting something together just the way I like it.

The other thing I like is the feeling when I look at it and it is absolutely beautiful.

And when I wear it and someone compliments me on my jewellery - it feels like I went to heaven.

To think I created something, someone else also likes.

I only sold a few pieces - but for me it will always be a just a hobby.

Okay let's be honest. When I'm busy making jewellery my mind stops working. All my troubles disappear and for that moment I forget all my troubles. For that period I'm in my own world, you can say it is like a therapy session. When I'm making jewellery, it feels like I'm in control. I can make my own decisions based on what I want. I can choose the colours I like and arrange them according to my taste. I don't have to impress anyone. Sometimes it is good to go to that place where you can just be. You forget how lonely you are and for that brief moment in time you are content.

But, remember I can only do this for a brief period, once in a while.

Have you ever thought of God as the creator of all things big and small. Have you ever thought about how creative He is. To make everything on earth, everything with a purpose and all of mankind unique. Everyone his own person with his own personality. Every flower and every tree smelling and looking different. Every animal, the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky and all the insects. As they say in law:" I rest my case."

You need to see for yourself the bigness of it all.

 You need to see for yourself how great God is. 

You need to learn to look and listen for yourself.

All I know is that it is fun to walk in the shadow of God's protection.

It is fun to be creative.

It is fun to adore real diamonds - but I'm also happy with my costume jewellery.

 For the real diamond in this world is God, and that is the only one worth looking for. When you find Him everything else will fall into place - just as He intended for it to be for you.
