"GOD CREATED you for this world, here and now, to speak into the world in a way that only you can. Your voice, your work, is as unique as your thumbprint. Even if you find yourself burned out, worn down, unexcited, or drained from your current life's work. I have great news: GOD can bring new life into old world...your work of everyday living, and free you from the "blahs" of the daily grind."
~The Wellness Revelation, Alisa Keeton~ This my loves, is what I sat down to see this morning (with a small bowl of mac and cheese), and I tell you what... I have been experiencing a serious case of the "blahs" lately. Stressful situations and struggles against old ruts in my life have been wearing me down. Making me feel like my joy is being robbed, and my gracious has it been exhausting. Prayer has not come easily, and seeing God in the little things has been hard. Reading this part of the book this morning, I felt this release like water flow down into my soul. Realizing that what I call "old hat" can be transformed by God. Refreshed. Revamped... What an awesome gift! God can make the ordinary extraordinary! He is the ultimate creative genius, so why would we not go to Him for ideas. I think He can figure out a solution to your boredom if He can speak stars into existence. My dear, would you make a commitment with me to surrender your day to Him. To actually ask Him to show up, and come and be present with you...To walk with you. He loves you so much and is just waiting for you to ask! "Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, Yahweh, the Creator of the ends of the earth Does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. He gives strength to the weary, And to him who lacks might He increase power. Though youths grow weary and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly. Yet those who wait for Yahweh will gain new strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles, the will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary." Isaiah 40:28-31

I'm so thankful for the invite to sip and sit with you. Let's make a date. Tonight I couldn't sleep so I slipped out of bed to read your blog. I was so busy today no quiet time with our Lord. I was yearning to talk with Him and realized my prayer life has been a bit weak. Lots of busyness and little time to talk to Him. My blahs are choking out my joy. I need encouragement. I scheduled a get away for just me and the Lord then I cancelled. I really blew it. I needed that time to renew and ignite my life with Jim. Lord lite a fire in me!

Ps. 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nation's, I will be exaulted in the earth."
