Many of the greatest ideas come when we are doing the mundane, routine, every day boring stuff. I can’t explain it, but it seems God favors those who go about their life with consistency and integrity in our ordinary daily lives.

It’s almost like God can get through to us when we are not so focused on the world around us. It’s a dance recital, chorus concert, T-ball game, sitting with the children in the backyard or just simply reading a book. It’s in those moments, when we are faithful in the small things that big things can happen.

You have heard me say this before, but one idea from God, can change your future. Take the Hula Hoop story, Joan Andweson saw children playing in Australia with bamboo hoops swinging them around their waist. Her and her husband brought the idea to Wham-O toy company. Long story short, they sold 25 million in the first four months and 100 million worldwide in the next year or so.

I don’t know this to be true, but Joan was probably at a family picnic when she saw the kids playing with the bamboo hoops.  A mundane, ordinary boring moment and she sees the idea.

The next time you are going about your everyday life, doing probably something boring, perk your antenna up. You never know what idea you could have in that boring moment. KT
