The human mind, in its desire to predict and understand, will do all it can to avoid  new situations and experiences. That avoidance is so strong and often predicated on fear that physical symptoms of this resistance will arise, which we call anxiety. Though we can all admit to enjoying new things, places and people, once we feel we "know" those experiences, we miss out on what God is doing daily.  God is truly doing something new!  It is a challenge for us to remove the labels we place on people, things and ourselves that hinder our perception of God's newness.  WE hold on to past experiences and wonder why we are seeing more of the same in the world and our personal lives.  I don't suggest that we look for something new.  Just rearrange your perception to realize ALL things are new in the sight of God.  What's your something new?
