Infinitesimally: This Is A Good Word

Let me begin by saying,
I itch.
Fiercely. Fully. Ubiquitously. It’s really kind of stupid and I’m getting annoyed. I don’t know why I itch, but I do, so there you go.

Now, on the brighter and more significant side, God showed me something today through the enthralling and exhaustive (do you know how heavy a hard cover 1,290 page book is?) work Systematic Theology by Wayne Grudem which I am reading for school this year. How big is God? We’ll never know, especially while we’re still on the earth because while we’re here the nature of God can only be explained to us through things we know or “human terms”. (The term that explains all this is anthropomorphic for all you scholastic type.) I thought that was incredibly neat. Here I am thinking that there are no more “terms” except human ones. It’s kind of exciting to think that there are things we can’t even begin to understand because our minds can’t handle it. “For My thoughts are higher than your thoughts as the heavens are higher than the earth.” Isaiah 55:9.

This makes me feel very stupid. Sometimes when I’m having a conversation with someone that person will comment on something they know absolutely nothing about (and conversely—sorry for these SAT words today—something that I do know something about.) and when this happens I, being an imperfect human, will stare at them with the deepest loathing because I find them so intolerably idiotic. Goodness, how many chances have I given God to stare at me with disgust? (Like, every moment of every day.) And yet, I don’t think He does because He’s bigger than that and “His ways are not our ways.” (Again, I’ve forgotten where this verse lives…but it’s in there, I promise you that.). I’m just little, fumbling, dull-witted Hayley and God loves me. Happy day.

I still itch. But there have been worse things...sigh.
Well. TTFN.
