Happy Girl

I am now the proud owner these lovely, nature friendly bags. I love being green. I feel better about my existence when I do things that are better for the environment. It's kind of like working out, or eating healthy, or reading, instead of sitting on the couch watching Family Guy and eating chips every night. I guess it's a feeling of accomplishment; that I, too, can help save the planet. I think that should probably be one of my main focuses. I mean, humans kind of depend on this planet, right? We act like we're autonomous, like we can function separately from the earth. But guess what? There's a reason we haven't found humans on other planets. I'm scared that we will just keep seeing nature as a resource to take advantage of and use to gain wealth and forget what it's here for.

And the LORD God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. Genesis 2:9

Nature is a glimpse at the beauty of God. It's here for His glory. So we will see some beautiful scene in nature and give glory and praise to God. It's also for surviving. If you cut down a tree, plant another one. We need food more than a wooden privacy fence or a roll of paper towels.

Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory. Isaiah 6:3

Every time the words "glory" and "earth" were in the same verse before this, it was saying "May Your glory fill the whole earth". This has to mean that God's glory is not only so huge that it will fill up the whole earth and then some, but it also means that God created everything in the earth in reflection of His glory.

Caleb calls me a tree-hugger, and I'm okay with that. I love nature and I'd live in complete harmony with it if I could. But for now, I'll just let my inner-hippie get on her soap box once in a while.
