Have you ever.....

....witnessed someone living the mundane life, but so in tune with their mission? The majority of life is ordinary. Think about it.

 There are only a few "life altering" events that happen in a lifetime (i.e. marriage, kids, death) and therefore, the rest of life is sadly mundane. Or is it? As a Christ-follower do we consider the everyday life.....boring? Certainly not. Everyday life is what is MOST important in our relationship with Christ. He lives within us while we walk the dogs, clean the house, vacuum the carpet, etc. His desire is to weave His characteristics into our everyday - we are to live as Christ. Humans cannot change their behavior on our own fruition (i.e. I think I'll serve more this month), our behavior changes as we grow in relation to God. Right? What a realization...I don't have to "try" to serve, I serve because I believe in Christ and that He was the ultimate servant.

I say this because life is very mundane right now. I was in desperate need for a local coffee shop to sort out thoughts this Sunday afternoon and I found this.......  In-Tea . Really? An entire shop dedicated to tea? Whole leaf teas from all over the world, in fact!  Exceptional service and some good pastries (a home-made cinnamon roll with custard in the middle). If this place was any closer to my house, I'd be here nightly tasting every single tea. Regardless, I wish there were some exciting news in the Curry home, but it is quite boring.

I have been pining after homes, decorations, and the store Athropologie. It is absolutely ridiculously overpriced, but the design is pristine. I'm sure there are other designers and architecture out there that as I begin a search for decorating, I'll covet the same as Anthropologie.  P.S. They have amazing clothes, too. Rooms like this one - a hot, Bohemian mess, but I love it!


Like I said - they have elegant/classy clothes like this top (and it's on sale!)


Cute! Don't you think? And speaking of cute - here's a little something from a while back that makes me smile every single time. She's prancing around now ..... it's eatin' time. She'll just have to wait, though. I need to get to church.






 Ordinary things, friends. Ordinary life. Are you making it count? Love wins!

  2. Oh my gosh, Lynsey. I, too, am hopelessly drawn to all things at Anthropologie, none of which I can afford. Sigh.

    I had a professor in college who talked often of the paradox of Christians being "bored." I love your thoughts on the matter.
