I didn’t post anything yesterday. I didn’t post anything the day before, either. If anyone was wondering, apparently 4 is the answer to how many days will it take until you lose motivation to be a functioning member of society who has dreams and plans and passions. Of course, I can make the argument that Saturday was sabbath, so I did a good thing in letting myself rest. I will rest in that! But then the 5th day happened, so maybe we’ll just say that was the day for new beginnings and I wanted to celebrate.
But, we’re going to turn it all around today and kick it into gear. It’s supposed to be cloudy all day and not get out of the 40s, so I may as well treat the day like it’s something the Lord has made and rejoice and be glad in it! (Psalm 118:24) I still have quite a few things on my to-do list that I made up when this whole forced-vacation thing started. I’ve fallen behind on a couple of projects and I really need to play catch up today.
Whatever you do, work at it wholeheartedly as though you were doing it for the Lord and not merely for people. -Col 3:23
The more time that goes by the more difficult it is to maintain the normal level of motivation that I keep throughout the times of relative normalcy. But that’s gotta change. We have to push through and let there be a rhythm to the day(s). Just because we’ve been picked up out of the sea we were sailing in, and placed into a different spot in the sea that we’re unfamiliar with, doesn’t mean that we can take our hands off of the rudder. We still have ability to see the Father off in the distance. We can still let Him be our goal.
So let’s be sure to steer the ship and not just lay on the couch and watch tv all day (or is that just me…). Let’s be of help to our neighbors. Let’s be supportive of those we find hurting online. Let’s be a blessing to anyone we come across. Remember, you may the reason someone smiles today. And, if you’re representing our King, that smile may be the reason they reach out to the Father.
Be a blessing today!
