God and Pinterest.

I had intentionally avoided pinterest for a while.  You see, I already have several things in my life that suck the time away... children, books, facebook, workouts, email... and I knew that if I started another one, more and more and more hours of the day would just get whittled away on this pinterest thing.  And then I was looking for ideas for a friend's baby shower, and Caroline pulled up pinterest and voila!  HUNDREDS of AMAZING IDEAS for EVERYTHING in about 15 seconds. UGH...  And... another time-sucking device coming into my life.

But... last night I had a goofy dream and woke up thinking that my whole life is like God's pinterest "Emily's Life" Board full of ideas and people and visions He created... Like He's up there saying, "Hmmm... We'll put this idea here.  Combine it with this vision... Oh.  I like that.  Let's intersect these visions with this person.  Oh, and this will be a catalyst for that..."  

No big metaphor here, I just think pinterest is really cool with all of the creations and ideas in one place... Just like God... All of the amazing, cool ideas and creations all in one place...from God.  And it's kind of comforting that He is up there looking at all of the amazing people and things He made and matching me up with the ones He knows I need.
