I am inspired by the ways that the Person that made the universe continues to show me ways of thinking that are different from what I think is normal. I am consistently consumed with a narrow-mindedness that is killing me and those around me. I have such big impending possibilities that are all around me. Growing in this fertile land can be overwhelming. Living where everything is expected of you and anything less than taking advantage of the best is a waste.
But what if it isn’t a waste. What if some are meant to just chill and look around? Somehow, we subsist by doing what is predictable; living in the norm. Even if it means the norm of those in your church. I mean, I have talked with people, and most want to be different, “I want to make a difference in this world,” but we all just hang out, go shopping, go to work, “do whatchya gotta do” I guess. I know that I can’t handle it all.
Well, I think I need a change. In a book I am reading, he says…
“The seasons remind me that I must keep changing, and I want to change because it is God’s way. Everybody has to change, or they expire. I want to keep my soul fertile for the changes, so things keep getting born in me, so things keep dying when it is time for things to die. I want to keep walking away from the person I was a moment ago, because a mind was made to figure things out, not to read the same page recurrently.”
