My birthstone is Saphire and the description also fits myself. Enjoying your blog very much.

I love the way you share your heart, Annie; the way you see the world around you. My favorite lines of this post? “That’s just like God. To take the ugly and make it beautiful. To take the impure and make it holy.”

If those things don’t leave you with hope, I can’t imagine what would!

My sister’s birthstone is sapphire, but she chooses Ruby because they’re “related”. I didn’t realize how until your post. Rubies always remind me of the Proverbs 31 woman…

“A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.” (I like to substitute wife for woman.)

What we consider our flaws turn out to be our greatest assets. My temper in the face of injustice used to get the best of me. Temper = flaw. I’ve learned to take that temper and use it for good.

We see flaws. God only ever sees the good that will come.

So insightful! I shared this with my 13yo who is a perfectionist and struggling with her flaws. Oh and her birthstone is sapphire. Too cool. Thank you for sharing. God bless.
