When I was in middle school, I attended a conference for young Christian girls that featured a segment on how a girl's brain is like spaghetti, and a boy's brain is like a waffle. (Shoutout 2007 Revolve Tour). I'm going to argue that we all-guys and girls- have some spaghetti happening in our brains-at least I do. If you're not familiar with this concept, imagine picking up a big handful of spaghetti-all the noodles are intertwined with each other. Similarly, our thoughts can be totally different, yet still tangled with each other. God has designed and allowed our brains to be such powerful things that we have the ability to have a multitude of thoughts and emotions at the same time. At this time of year, I think these at times opposing emotions can be even more prevalent. Example from my brain: Thankful. Waiting . Content. Anxious. Happy . Curious. Expectant. Doubting. Trusting. And that's just from the last few minutes. Sometimes I get frustrated...
