Milk and Coffee

So I was doing some thinking this morning. I have been arguing with God about how He is directing and teaching me. Let's just say that it's not how I would be doing it. I do not like the fact that I am jobless and am finding out that my path to graduate school will be a tad harder than I had anticipated. It seems that what I am doing instead is mundane and, well, slow.

I recently found this photo of something strikingly beautiful and different. At first glance, you'd think that it was a strange kind of mushroom or a highly scientific reaction finally revealed for mankind to behold. But it is simply a drop of milk dropping into a cup of coffee.








Slowed way down, a very simple and mundane occurance becomes surprisingly beautiful and complex.

I think that is what God is doing with me. He is slowing me way down, allowing me to see that what He is doing in me is not a waste of time, but is actually a complex development of character driven by His awesome purpose for me. I'd much rather get on with enjoying the taste of the coffee and milk, but God wants me to see the beauty in one drop of white on brown.

So enjoy your milk and coffee knowing that God is doing something in you which is simple yet complex, mundane yet beautiful, and pretty darn yummy.
