Dinosaurs are kids' toys, some say. You outgrow them when you turn eight. Only little children are interested in dinosaurs. I'm living proof that that is a big white elephant lie. Yesterday I bought a nice dinosaur book, and plan on buying another called DINOSAURUS when I get my next paycheck after CIY.
I believe God has given this desire. Why? I had no real interest in them two years ago, until I really started praying that God would give me something--anything--to fill that void of purpose in my life. A passion for dinosaurs flung up in literally a split-second. Strange, huh?
I don't plan on becoming a paleontologist, dinosaur specialist, or scientist of any sort. I want to be a youth minister somewhere, somehow. I want to show others the awesome King found only in Jesus.
Why has God given me a love for dinosaurs? I can't tell you. But my imagination runs circles. In the Scriptures it says that when we get to heaven, we will all be given responsibilities. In Isaiah, it says that all of God's created animals will live with us, in their original and harmless form. Maybe God's plan is for me to 'watch over' the dinosaurs. I couldn't tell you. It's all a big mystery.
I know one thing. When I get to heaven, I'll ask him.
