Same old

It's time to get back. I've enjoyed sitting around and doing nothing for the past week, and I can't take it anymore! I do need the rest. Perhaps I'll be wishing for more time to relax by February. Anyway, do you ever get tired of doing the same thing the same way with the same people all the time? I do.Unfortunately, some friends and family just don't change. But that doesn't change the fact that they're family, and a real friend or family member will be there for you no matter what.

Family is also there for encouragement, support and guidance. Ought to be. We make families out of many different networks, don't we? I do not doubt that all types of families share the same qualities stated above. I can only imagine that the difference between families is what they encourage, support and guide individuals in. Whether the family is a secular progressive, fundamentalist, sophisticated or broken, there are associated mental dispositions within each. Ultimately, a member will share the same disposition with their family, to an extent.

It can be a church family, nuclear family, political family, work-related or gang family; "birds of a feather flock together." However, one's association ought not to define them. Let's say I drive a a Monte Carlo, a coupe. I join a car club, and everyone else has Impalas, sedans. No matter how long I ride with them, I'm always gonna drive a coupe! Same maker, different models. That's how our Father has made us; we're alike in creation but different in purpose. Conformity will definitely prolong our fruition.

Simply, I cannot afford to maintain the same old same old with anyone. I need a refreshing, and only God can give it to me! The only one keeping me from where I need to be is me, and I definitely cannot afford to let anyone else! Jesus' circle is the only place anyone can receive salvation =)

Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:19
And be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:2
