Routine

I've been on vacation from my blog for quite some time. It was not for any reason in particular other than the process was no longer feeding me. I know that sounds bad, that I only wrote the blog to feed me or better to meet my own needs. I want others to find my blog useful, but the words come from God's action in my life. I haven't been in a barren land with my Lord, but the manna has not been in the writing arena.
I have spent some of the time exploring the possibility of another relationship in my life, and have decided that is not be, at least for now. I love the life I have, even if it seems very routine. Golf, church, family and friends fill my life but it is a pretty routine existence. You know even when Marsha was alive and I was working for a living at a vocation I completely loved, life was pretty routine. I look at other peoples lives and read the status updates they write on facebook and they seem pretty routine too. Life for most people I think is pretty routine, maybe with some variation, but mostly routine. Perhaps it is judgmental to think that those whose life is not routine are avoiding reality in some way, and I guess I can't project my reality on everyone, but I bet it is more common than we could imagine. We continue on an established path putting one foot in front of the other without discerning what God might want.  I have found that God's blessing is available and powerful when I am living in the will of God for me. I just find those times are not constant. I weave in and out of God's will back into my routine, back into my comfort zone, back into the predictable path. Help me Lord to stay with you, you know my blessed life is only found there.
