I love talking to people older and wiser (though neither means the other is a given) - sometimes I'm just amazed by how "seasoned" they are. Hahaha - like when I talk to Enoch. I felt like a sponge in some sense - every word he said was so loaded and meaningful, and it was so great to just listen and soak it all up. I felt also so much more inexperienced, so much younger and unknowing - though not at all in a bad or putting down kind of way.

Niceness =/= maturity. Niceness can often be mistaken for maturity when you don't know the person well enough, and I think maturity can be mistaken for niceness as well. I hope that whatever niceness people see from me will not only end at that - like Steph said, I hope that I will be able to "take it to the next level", or next layer or what not. That it will be more and more evident to others that whatever goodness I have is not from myself, but is a sign of the fruit of the Spirit, as in Galations 5:22-23. In short, that is what I think maturity is... not to say I think I'm there - heh far from it. But I strive for that, and I know that in my own power I can do nothing.

On a totally (or maybe not totally) unrelated note, I wish I knew how to handle come on's better. :( Let me go to work in peace. Oh sigh... I need to have more love.

Remember to save your work often.
