Since this is my first post, it seems natural to talk about why I created this blog/what I will probably talk about/random introductory junk. However, I really just enjoy jumping straight to what I want to say, so that's what's going to happen. Before I start, however, it will probably help if I first explain a little something about me. I have a huge appreciation for the miracle of life....I know, extremely cheesy, but how else do you phrase it? Anyway, tonight I was just thinking about how I already have this huge room in my heart just full of love for my children that haven't even come into existence yet. Now, don't jump to conclusions and assume that I, a youthful child of merely 18 years, want a child right this minute, but there are definitely at least 3 in the future just waiting to pop into existence. Anyway, continuing on about this room full of love. You know that chair that you love, the one that every time you sit it you fall into a comfortable cloud of happiness? Well this room is full of those. Also, there is a huge bowl of cookies right in the middle of the room, and smiling children just frolicking all over like a beautiful sappy dream. Obviously now you can tell I am an emotional person. Moving on to a more serious note, as I thought about this love I already possess for my children, I began to question something. Do my children already exist somewhere, in the process of being beautifully knitted by God, or does God create humans in a split second? I immediately realized that this isn't even the the right question to ask. God doesn't live within the parameters of time. The revelation I ended up having was that God takes the time to knit every tiny part of us together, every SINGLE one of us. Time doesn't constrain him. All 6,973,738,433 of us were doted on, with God sewing together even the smallest parts of our souls. The three hours you spend studying for that dreadful sociology test don't even exist to God. He loves us so much that He takes the time to do this for every single one of His children. I'm probably being very repetitive, but its a beautiful concept to me. I guess the point is that, no matter what we go through, all of us were created in the same miraculous way yet all of us are completely unique. Most of us could think of maybe twenty different traits a human could possess, but God has thought of 6,973,738,433 different variations. We should live to model that same kind of love. So, even though I've rambled on about my emotional and probably confusing thoughts, the point is that He loves you. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING you could do to run away from or lose that love. If you have read this entire thing I am extremely proud of your ability to follow my thinking, and we should talk more.
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 5:8, NIV
HI! As I read over this entry, a few ideas played around in my head. You spoke of God's independence from time, and that idea has always been huge in my understanding of creation. There are many arguments against creation because "everything has to has a beginning", but chronological thinking can't be applied to God. Another thought had to do with respect, and where it comes from. We all are uniquely made, and each trait is bestowed by our Creator. Who has a right, then, to determine which alternative is better? I can follow your thinking!
