Big, Big, Big

Shown below is a photo of my current location:


Everyone, I'm so happy, and I don't think it's just because I quit drinking soda. I'm sure it's a number of things. I mean it is summer, some of my crucial daily decisions consist of whether I want honey bunches of oats or frosted mini wheat's for breakfast. However, it is in this stress free environment, and this peace that surpasses all understanding that I came to a conclusion this morning.

I'm getting big.
No, not taller, and not fat or fluffier (Lord knows I have the permanent body shape of a scrawny 8 year old boy on a Huffy bicycle), just older. The past few weeks have been the most mature weeks I've ever had. I think my brain caught on to something, and I'm just now examining what it caught on to. The crazy thing about it though, is that it didn't catch on to anything. My brain, literally quit thinking, because it finally understood that there's something bigger than myself that knows everything. Once I finally let God lead my decisions, I grew up.

Why is it so hard for us to grasp God's love? He's not going to hurt us, He has really really good ideas, crafty ideas. He knows our best interest. We learned this when we made our arms look like giant O's and sang "He's got the whole world in His hands." This elementary idea has turned into a class centered around AP Calculus (you guys, I've been there, there's no way to grasp Calculus, it is sin, so just don't even dip your feet into the water of said subject).

So here I am, sitting on my back porch with yogurt and granola, and an Eco-friendly water bottle, and I'm happy. My decisions are already decided. So I sit still, and bask in the knowledge that I am blessed because my Savior delights in me, and I love His good, and faithful ideas.
