Becoming Unstuck
3 Oct
I don’t know about you, but I frequently find myself stuck in a rut. Doing the same thing day in and day out. It gets old after awhile and oddly enough there are times when I don’t even realize that my life has become mundane and so routine.
This year not only have I noted that I am indeed “stuck” in my everyday life, career and walk with God, but I have made conscious efforts to learn why. The answers would create a completely different entry (smile). More on that at a later date!
Today I did a few things to move beyond this place that I ‘ve found myself in. First, I took the day off from work for no particular reason other than it was Friday and I wanted to. Second, I had my devotional time on my back patio at roughly 6am this morning. Something I rarely do but thoroughly enjoyed. I know some of you are wondering why didn’t I sleep in but I’m an early-bird. What can I say?!! Third, I accepted an invitation from my friend Roz to join her in the sauna at the gym. This was huge in and of itself since the thought of putting on a swimsuit never, ever appeals to me. I must admit that saying “yes” for once instead of my usual “no thank you” resulted in a wonderful morning. It was a powerful lesson in me stepping outside of my comfort zone. Fourth, since I have a fondness for art I decided to indulge myself and visit the fine art gallery at the Bellagio. It was a wonderful experience and something I rarely do unless I’m on vacation in another city. And finally I sealed my adventures for the day with a quiet moment with my heavenly father at the UNLV Library. What can I say I’m a library nerd at heart! By doing this I received a word and direction from the Father that might otherwise not have been or atleast it would have been delayed.
What I’ve learned from this day is that it’s ok to say “yes” sometimes. Doing so will quite possibly move me to a place I wanted to go in the first place. Try it and let me know.
