One Smart Cookie

I've come to the conclusion that every single person I've met who has gone/is going to seminary is brilliant. Of course, I only know like six or seven, but still. I'm intelligent enough that I can recognize brilliance when I see/hear it.

In this past week, two of my friends, who shall remain nameless, but both go to seminary, have said wise things. Right out of the mouths of babes. The first remark was, Intimacy Arises Out of Conflict. Now at the time, I agreed with him. And the more I think about it, the more I agree with him. I also recognize that he got it from one of his professors.

The second occurrence that got me thinking was tonight. We've just had Izzos and we're in my car and we're talking about just life in general. I was telling her that God usually has to pull out something shiny to distract me so I don't try and control the things He's working on Himself. So He helps me focus my attention on something. All the while knowing I'm such a child that while He's got my attention to the left, He's working on something else for me on the right that, believe it or not, does not need my assistance at the moment. She says, I was reading something the other day that said if God takes months, or even years, to do something, then it's not going to be some little thing in life. Wow. Good point.

If the God of the Universe has to take months, or even years, of time to do something for me in my life, you can sure bet it's going to be big...
