Change your seat

Do you ever feel like you are stuck in a rut? Same routine, same places to eat, same conversations, same day over and over. A couple weeks ago the worship pastor asked us how many people had been going to church for several years, and the next question was how many of us have sat in the exact same place for several years. I raised my hand, then he said something crazy!! "Get up and sit someplace new" I have to admit I stayed in my seat.  I think we all get comfortable because that is easier. The last couple months in my life I think I've changed my seat. I always thought I needed to work to have some purpose in my life. I didn't understand how women could be stay at home moms, didn't they get bored? Didn't they want to work? But after being home I realized that I love being at home. I've been working since I was 16 years old so it was definitely an adjustment at first. Before I didn't really take a lot of pride in cleaning house or taking care of my family. But now that I'm home I've changed my attitude, this is my job and I should be proud of what I do. That was the first change, the next was my health. The most recent change has been what I watch, what I read and what I say. Its true that if you put negative things in you will get negative things out. I don't want that anymore. Pay attention to the words you say and what you are watching. Its amazing when you really think about something before you say it. What changes do you want to make in your life? Start small, instead of that candy bar - eat a piece of fruit. Order something different at that restaurant you always go to. Say yes instead of no. It doesn't have to be a big change but sometimes its good to "change your seat" every once in while.
