#290 Routine
4:56 PM
One of my favorite feelings in the world is being tucked away inside a warm dimly lit room with a storm raging on outside. While work is not the most relaxing environment--is any place with fluorescent lighting?--every now and then I get a little peak at comfort from the view of my office.
Sometimes these weeks just feel like such a routine. Nothing too out of the normal, the same pattern of events as the week before. So tonight was just another Thursday.
But really, while I dread going to Unleashed sometimes--because it's hard for me to be "extroverted" and willing to engage 30 different people--the nights are always so filling and rewarding.
God uses this time to stretch me. Not only do we always get an awesome message, but just through fellowship with others I can feel Him developing qualities in me I don't naturally possess.
We headed out to IHOP afterwards. I downed some delicious eggs with basil and tomatoes in them, and of course a short stack of pancakes. Got to sit around some amazing people laughing and carrying on as normal.
The mundane can be okay sometimes. The routine can be welcomed.
