When i was a non-christian i was seriously hungry for something i didn't know about... so i looked for people who were totally different... who were actually, super churchy, in a weird sense of the weird. I didn't want people who smelt like me, thought like me, moved around like me... but i wanted ppl who were absolutely different. Different in a peculiar way even.
[Be in the world but not of the world - being relevant enough that you can be there at the same time, but different enough for ppl to notice that you are different]
When i became a christian i really grew by observing the things around me. Much as it sounds weird, thinking excites me. Knowing how ppl work excite me, knowing how things function excite me. Especially human behaviour, philosophy and whatever not. Those things excite me.
[Mediating on God's word all the time. By applying His Word to the world around me. Wow.]
I still go on my usual routines, to take any bus other than 13 and 16 to transfer to 155... sit at the same bus stop, tread through the same bus stop path back home. But i thank God i'm growing. I thank God my concerns are different than 1, 2, 3 years ago. I thank God i feel the "sunday service feel" less (it's a very particular feeling i feel... not of routine, but familiarity, it's not that bad but not that good either).
[I thank God that the past was good, but the future will be better]
Phew... :)
