The Routine Buster

Are you caught in the grid? It's so easy to get caught up in our schedules, activities, and all. And that's all good stuff. But that stuff's not the point.

Trapped in the routine of our daily lives, the flood of the ordinary can drown out any spark of the supernatural. And the real casualty is our expectations. We don't see the miraculous because we don't expect it anymore.

Solace – the practice of getting alone with God – is the great routine buster. It renews our mind, and our heart. It refreshes our spirit, recharges our battery. In Solace, the Lord reminds us of the adventure we're on and the plans He has for us. He renews our hope and dreams.

We might just begin to hope in them again. And maybe, just maybe, even take the first baby step in that direction. You know, if this dream on my heart was to happen, what's the first step I would take? Then take it. See where it goes. What if?
