When I was much younger, my sister decided to give me a nickname. Our family doesn't do nicknames, so we weren't really creative in this area. All Rebekah came up with was Chocolate Macaroni, after two of my favorite foods. The name definitely never worked. Still, if you know me, you know that I am a Connoisseur of macaroni and cheese- I rate restaurants based on the quality of their mac & cheese. Just a bowl of the good ol' blue box variety can make a bad day better. Chocolate is the same way- it's hard to say "no" to almost anything chocolate.
Chocolate Macaroni is more than just a combination of some favorite foods. It doesn't make sense. It's random, but somehow good. Sometimes that's how I feel about life. It doesn't always make sense, but when I'm trusting God I know that He's going to work all things out for good (Romans 8:28). Our plans and ideas, like chocolate macaroni, aren't always well-thought out, and might not be the best for our lives. That's why we remember that we can make our plans, but the final outcome is in God's hands (Proverbs 19:21).
This blog, which probably very few people will read, is a place for my thoughts about life and loving God.
