Expansion of the Mind

This is my first personal blog. This kind of surprises me because if you could step inside the internal world of Bianca, you would find a spaghetti-looking mind of thoughts and emotions. I'm sure I scare and confuse my husband at times, because the thoughts sometimes become too great to contain and spill out into the physical world where he gets to experience a glimpse of the depths of who I am. Now you can experience a glimpse of me too as I attempt to serve you Bianca spaghetti... :)

I naturally tend to shift into routines when it comes to life. Sometimes that habit is applied to my mind. But because I also like diversity in life, I get to the point where I want to experience something new and I break out of my routine. I've learned that the mind has great capacities that most humans never tap into. When I heard this, I was challenged to expand my mind. Even with that thought I started to think inside the box, when I strive to think outside the box. In addition to an increase of knowledge, expanding my mind also means becoming cultured. I have strong convictions, but there are so many ways that I can experience God and life without ever coming close to crossing the wrong lines. God has the ability to boggle my tiny and finite mind, but I just need to make sure I don't allow my mind (to attempt) to figure God all out. Finality on life can be one of the greatest ways to not hear God. And that mind-set is not His fault, but mine. I want to be consistently shaken, blown away, and at the same time be strictly moved into the direction of an eternity-impacting life.
