Define “Boring”

In our society today I believe most people are looking to be “cool”, or to “fit in”. Many people are accustomed to being surrounded by people all day, every day. It seems almost impossible for someone not to be completely dependent on the feelings and actions of another. To me, this seems like very unhealthy behavior. So what if I’d rather stay home and read a book than spend a night out with friends? Being called “boring” has never been an insult to me. I’ll admit that sometimes I may come off a little boring. I’m very happy with my “boring” lifestyle. Sometimes it’s nice to have a certain independence. You will never be completely free if you keep living for someone else and not for Him.

Why is it that so many people look up to you for going to church? I’ve never had anyone tell me that I shouldn’t go, for any reason, even from people who themselves don’t go. I don’t know if they are scared or afraid. Let me tell you, there is absolutely nothing to be afraid of. Going and spending an hour in the presence of God and people who have the same beliefs as I do, gives me a GREAT start to every week. I can definitely feel myself being refreshed after that one hour every Sunday morning. Complete and total breath of fresh air. If I ever feel like I’m going down the wrong path, I know all I need to do is pray.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
Proverbs 3:5-6
