I can get into a routine so easily, each day like the day before. Maybe there is a little something different here or there, but basically the same. I was reading something the other day, what it was I honestly can't remember, but it asked me a simple question : "When was the last time you did something for the first time?" I honestly couldn't remember.
How many amazing things that God has created do I miss out on everyday because I simply don't take the time to experience them. I'm not always talking about big things, such as traveling half way across the world to see one of the eight wonders of the world, I'm talking about things that areavailable to me but I don't experience because I don't try. I fall into routine.
I made a list. A list of things that I have never experienced, always wanted to try, but just ever did. I am going to do one every week. I am going to enjoy God in a new way every week.
Last week I went to a Chinese Church. It was completely in Chinese. I had no idea what they were saying. I sat, experienced what it was like to be an outsider in a new culture, and talked to God. The whole service was an hour and a half. I had never experienced anything like that. People would laugh, at what? I had no idea. People would stand and I would be the last one. People would sing when I could only hum along with the melody.
I experienced God in a new way. I experienced a new reason to praise Him.
My list continues to grow. For example, just today I added learning how to play a song on the guitar. I will continue to experience God in new ways. I will continue to rejoice and praise Him. I will continue to share.
