Well, tomorrow I'm gonna start living differently.
It is the start of Lent, and yea I am gonna give up some things, but I have decided to take up a few things too. I want to start branching out of my world. This world that I carry within me has recently become a lot smaller in the grand scheme of things. The life outside of me is so much bigger than I can even comprehend, and I want to go there. It may seem little, but every day, for the next 40 days, I am going to step out of my comfort zone. Every day I am going to talk to someone I don't know. Whether it be a compliment, or a full on conversation about something random, I am going to make it happen. I figure that everything starts small, so it may not be a lot, but I am hoping that it leads to something bigger. At times I know I am going to look like a fool, but hey, I figure it's good practice.
Anyone who has ever made a difference in there world had to start somewhere. My somewhere will be here, in Fredericksburg. I guess In a way, I am sacrificing my complacency, in hopes of maybe learning a little bit more about other people, who will in turn teach me things about myself.
Another thing I am going to do is listen to God more. I don't give him enough of my time, and tomorrow that stops. He will have my full attention during quiet times every day. He has sacrificed so much for me, how could I not start doing the same for him?
In the words of Bill Page, "It's time to go to work."
A song to remind you of the good old days :)
