Don't blink

Have you ever woken up in the morning and buried yourself back under the blankets because you don't want to face another boring day? I hope it's not just me. I mean, some people don't want to wake up because they're tired of drama and/or stress. Me, I want to stay in my dream world because it's so much more cooler. Lately, I've been dreaming about zombies, gangsters, and X-Creatures!! O.o I have all kinds of adventures in my dreams, and then when my mom pounds on the wall to wake me up, I get dragged back into the boring, monotone mundanity of reality.

It's easy to fall into our schedules, those carefully planned days where everything goes exactly as planned. We get tired of the same thing. Then we try to insert interesting things into our lives (and sometimes get into trouble). We watch tons of movies, play video or computer games, read books. Or just mess around on the computer doing nothing at all. Then we're quick to fall asleep to jump back into those awesome dreams.

But sometimes, God has things planned for us even in the most mundane of lives. He may not throw you something incredibly exciting--say, a zombie apocalypse--but He'll still throw you something. Something that you have to act upon to make things interesting. Say you notice that the guy at the cash register isn't really having a good day. You just might brighten up his day by smiling and asking him how he is. You never know! That's why you have to keep your eyes open all the time, so you don't miss those little things! You have to come out of your little shell of fantasy to watch the world around you...because it can happen in a blink.
