I can’t quite put into words what this post meant to me tonight. I’ve been really struggling with this – a trembling girl holding a weighty silence in her hand because she doesn’t want to “scribble” Him wrong.

I know I will mess it up. But He sees my heart & knows my intention. And you reminded me of that.

Thank you.

Loved this reminder today…thank you!!

I sat in a college class yesterday and listened to the professor (PhD and all) pontificate that life has no purpose and all of humanity is simply a virus, and the earth would be better if we all disappeared. All of this said in a cajoling, gentle tone with a big smile on his face as if delivering such a terrible, hopeless perspective would be more convincing if “grampa” did it. I argued against that idea and the despair it brings (no PhD and all) and felt kinda stupid at the end because I’m clearly not in his intellectual leagues.

But guess what? The God you describe here IS the God I know. And He does love us, even with our simple inabilities and our bumbling errors. He IS majestic, and our Creator, and we are not without purpose or hope, even if we do like brown shoes. For the first time this morning I wasn’t angry when I thought of my discussions with these Professors, I was just sad. For them. I will continue to pick up my crayons and go to drawing lessons with Jesus, because it’s apparent that great wisdom is not found in college classrooms.
