I was really having a hard time thinking about an intro to me so I started playing with my pearl necklace I had on and then I got the idea...
Natural pearls have always fascinated me, they appear so simple but they are truly not as they appear. They start out as a piece of grit that is just laying on the bottom of the ocean, having no place to go, nothing to be. Then by some miraculous chain of events that little speck of grit gets lodged in an oyster. Over the next few years that speck of sand, that safely lies nestled in the soft flesh of the mollusk, will go from a shapeless grain of sand to one of the most coveted gems in the world. Over the years the pearl is being covered in thin, translucent layers of nacre, which allows it to be strong and beautiful. This whole process and result reminds me of my life. I started out as that pathetic piece of sand, having no place to go, and then I accepted Jesus into my life and now as I grow slowly in the comfort of the Lord, I am being transformed and covered in new layers as my faith and knowledge of the Lord grows.
