My greatest fear is being stuck in the mundane. I cringe at the thought of living a monotonous life. Isn’t there more out there in this world than to go day by day, eating, sleeping, working + repeating? I’ve found myself in the midst of living my deepest fear this week. It isn’t the working, resting + repeating itself that is horrible, it’s the lack of spontaneity in all this ordinary.
Christ doesn’t call us to live ordinarily, but that doesn’t mean he calls us to disregard our priorities. Work is necessary, but how can I step out of stagnant routine in a routine job?
This week, after acknowledging this reality that my life is currently at a stand still in adventure, I am deciding to take action to change what had begun to behave as a habit in my day to day. I am able to take action + break up this habitual life.
In order to avoid letting my soon-coming reality to manifest, I am forcing myself to do at least one adventurous, out of the ordinary, spontaneous thing a week. For this week, it was driving to KC for a concert. Not sure what next weeks adventure will be, but I am excited and anticipating this break from my habitual monotonous life.
If you feel like you are in a rut of routine, just like me, there are ways to change that. You can take ordinary every day tasks and make them extraordinary. God, in no way, planned for our lives to be mundane. Today, go and do something abnormal from your usual routine.
