Today my teammate cut 10 inches of her hair off. Just like that its a pretty boring story, cool for sure, but definitely boring. Here's the best part: she basically decided she wanted to do this at about 10am this morning and by the end of her lunch break her hair was gone. Seeing as I'm a total product of the digital age she and I were in constant contact about this spontaneous decision all morning, and watching her thought process (if you can even call it that) got me to thinking....how is it that we can be so spontaneous in other areas of our life, but not in our relationship with Jesus?
I love spontaneity. I regularly chop inches off my hair just cause I feel like it, I got my nose pierce basically right after someone told me I could pull it off, I've let my friends dye my hair every shade from blonde to dark brown because we needed something to do on a Friday night, I've even driven three hours to go see a concert that I didn't have a ticket for when I left the house. In my day to day life I make so many decisions by the seat of my pants, yet my time with Jesus always seems to be rigid, scheduled, and lacking in fun.
Shouldn't my relationship with Jesus be the most reckless, adventurous, spontaneous relationship I have? I don't have any answers, just a want to explore what exactly it looks like to be more spontaneous with Jesus. Thoughts?
