I was supposed to type this up last night, but got carried away with The Office on TV. Which I must admit, as awkward as it may be sometimes to make even make cringe, it's a pretty good and funny show.
Anyways, last night at the Women's Bible study wasn't as bad as the first time. I think the #1 thing I like about this Bible study is that they really know how to materialize God, without making Him seem mundane in any way. He is so real to them, and they can give me a glimpse of just what that is like, except I rarely have that feeling myself. I grew up with people talking of the Bible as if it were some kind of fairy tale, some kind of myth. I still get that impression, but with God's fingerprints and just hard, physical evidence that He's been in my life, as scary as it may have seemed, it just comes to show the Bible could not have been just made up by man.
The second thing I like about this Bible study is the wisdom from all these women of older age. The youngest they probably are are twice my age, and they've gone through a lot in life so they're pretty mature and knowledgeable - and I can gain a lot from this. I just feel kind of bad because me, being a rather immature and growing Christian, they don't have much to gain from me. Except that I help out on the worship team on Sunday mornings, I guess. Which is cool, too, cause the leader of our table enjoys worship the most I'm glad to contribute to that.
We would talk about things we'd like people to pray for - and their requests consist of actual, sort of problematic things - health, relationships, financial circumstances, etc... Me, being a young college student, consists of school, school, school, worrying about my future, and school. I accidentally began rambling about being so confused about what major to pick for the past few months.
And then this very nice lady at my table was like well, I shouldn't worry too much. I mean, when you get out of college and eventually get to their (these ladies') age, no one cares what your major is. They don't ask you what major you are, they ask what you do. And realistically, there are so many majors that have seldom anything to do with people's occupations. And if you don't like what you do, don't do it. Find something that makes you happy. So I'm just really glad I decided not to do business anymore.
It's also really awkward still though because I'm used to saying "hey guys" or "are any of you guys..." and these ladies are certainly not guys but I can't say like "hey ladies" or "hey girls".. so I just be safe and go "hi everybody" or "do any of you..."
So yeah, I think I'll continue going to this Bible study as long as I have time. It'll be a little more difficult soon because of school and college applications and all of that - which I haven't really started on.
Also, every single woman in that Bible study is married, haha. As weird as I think some of them are. But I think it just comes to show that most likely myself and my friends will one day get married, too. To my friends it's probably a comforting thought. To me, it just means more MONEY.
I'm obviously joking.
