God Is Too BIG to Fit in Little Brains

"We cover our deep ignorance with words, but we are ashamed to wonder, we are afraid to whisper 'mystery.'" -- The Knowledge of the Holy, p. 18
-----

If God were small enough to fit inside my head, what kind of a tiny God would He be? If He didn't leave me with a sense of awe, wonder and mystery, would He still be the all-powerful and all-knowing God we profess?

I don't think so, and apparently neither does A.W. Tozer (the author of the quoted book).

So, God is too big to fit in our little brains. BUT, this shouldn't make us feel confused or intimidated, this fact should remind us to embrace the sense of wonder and mystery of God.

If God is really big and really powerful, then I am really not going to understand sometimes. And that is beautiful.

Happy Interview Day

The job search is officially underway and I had my first informational interview today with CMF International. The people there were absolutely incredible. They were all so friendly and helpful and they generously shared the majority of their morning with me.

They also taught me a lot about the organization, which I greatly respect. I particularly appreciated their dedication to holistic aid (helping the whole person, not just physical or just spiritual, etc.). I am excited to stay in touch with the fantastic people I met today and to follow up on their recommendations! I will keep you all posted!

In honor of my wonderfully successful day, I decided to celebrate. Need you even ask what my idea of celebration entails?! That's right....NEW SHOES! hehe. And don't worry...you know they HAD to be on clearance. Ah, I just LOVE THEM! :)




Happy First Interview Day to me! :)
Dios les bendiga,
Kathy
