I am a person who likes routine….I guess its part of my characteristics, but I really like routine. So much so that when I draw up a timetable for myself at home( which i normally do to space out time for studying , play, TV and church) I stick to it quite precisely. Not exactly, but almost there. Anyway I decided to blog on this, as I know there may be others out there too that may be like me, enjoying too much of comfort zones and just going through life as it goes by daily. Often times forgetting that there may never be a tomorrow, and most of the time get bored with routine unconsciously. Today’s message in church, which was preached by our dear Pastor, also spoke to me , as he said that we will never know when Jesus will be coming back and we live in “too” much comfort and forget our ” purpose” in a way or another. Those were not his exact words, but i interpreted it as that.
So if changes vs routine, I think in certain ways its good to have a routine, but its very important to have changes in our DAILY lives. For example, time set aside to study should be a routine activity, and devotion should be a daily activity. However, for changes, it would be nice to have a change daily right ?? ( A friend spoke to me on this and asked me what I’ve done within this week that has changed from my routine ) And I said, ” nothing “. So partly I wrote this as a challenge to those who need it, and a challenge to myself. Because if I don’t do this, its pretty hard for me to actually carry out what I say. So pls readers that know me, check in to see if I’m doing what I promised. So I’m going to give you what I basically do everyday, and then I’ll add on a list of things to do this week which is different.
I basically,
wake up-bathe- go to school – come home from school – do homework-do housework-bathe-eat dinner-study-go online-read book/bible-sleep.
This week I plan to add something new everyday. Just one new thing to my routine and see how things turn out !!
Monday ( tmrw )- do devotion/ go exercise ( running )
Tuesday – do devotion/read book
Wednesday – do devotion/ blog about something that I’ve been thinking about for quite sometime/ try to use wireless internet ( not mine but can be detected )
Thursday- Do devotion / exercise / clean my room
Friday – do devotion/ complete my project
Saturday- do devotion/ go practice driving
SUnday- do devotion/ attend undang-undang class
So my dear readers, as you all can see, its all simple stuff that i’ve added to my daily routine, and i think it will make a difference. and as you noticed, i put do devotion everyday, as i’ve not been disciplined enough to do it everyday, but i’m going to make it a point to do it this week and weeks to come. Hope you all are inspired and if not also, at least just to know what I’m up to.
