the satisfying conversation

amy and I talked for an hour and a half tonight in the srhs parking lot. a lot about spirituality. a lot about our questions and her questions. a lot about our concerns and what we worship and how we worship. we realize more and more that we love to talk to one another. we glean so much from the other's perspective.
tonight, we talked about moses and the inspiration of the Bible. when God said the Bible was inspired, what exactly does that mean? like, amy said, this conversation, this satisfying conversation, was inspired. but my perspective and her perspective of this satisfying conversation will be completely different. we will both write different things. we will be equally inspired in different ways. and we wonder if the Bible is anything like this unique conversation.

there is so much more to Him. there is so much mystery. even the bread and butter; the sunday school, if you will, is so mysterious and spellbinding. the arks and the manna and the miracles and the love. so mysterious. do we question God or do we celebrate the fact that we can't put God in a box?

I like to celebrate Him. I like to remember that when there is an inspired word of the Bible I don't understand, I can thank God that his thoughts are higher than mine. If I could understand everything He said, He wouldn't be a big God. I need Him to be big. He has to be.

I can celebrate that.

and Amy and I left that conversation with a better understanding of eachother and possibly ourselves. and I feel like maybe we both needed tonight to get through tomorrow. because I needed to know that I am not perceived as judgmental, and she needed to know that she has more spiritual insight than she gives herself credit for.

and tomorrow when I listen to worship music I will think of her.

I am so excited to be a part of her life. and I needed to write about it.
