Not Staying Off

I haven’t blogged in a couple weeks.  I’ve found myself going through these cycles of writing and then thinking and then choosing not to write what I’m thinking. Some people think blogs are worthless, others live by it to practice their writing and others try to be famous through them. Sometimes, I enjoy seeing blogs about the real stuff going on in people’s lives because when you get to have any conversation about real life ups and downs, life seems real again.

I don’t blog when I’m frustrated at certain people, because “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all” and then once it’s there, it’s there online for awhile.  This is a hard thing for me to do.

But I love hearing stories of people going through real life junk only because then I don’t feel alone or I can say to myself “shut up! praise God you have it ‘better’” or I can have a mission/purpose to pray for them, be there for them.

It sounds kinda sick that I enjoy people’s low moments, but maybe it’s because I know that the greatest moments have come out of the lowest moments.  That new passions can come out of low times.

Maybe it’s because I also know that low times can produce apathy, bitterness, and a lack of drive to do what should be done.  There’s the tipping point in low moments.  Low moments can bring out great moments or they can stay and turn into low seasons.

Don’t ignore the times you find yourself without drive and passion and don’t think that the person next to you will just get “over” it.  Talk about it and create a plan as God prepares you for what He has prepared for you to do.

Jeremiah 12:5 “The LORD answered, “If you have raced against men on foot and they have worn you out, how will you be able to compete with horses? And if you feel secure only in safe and open country, how will you manage in the thick undergrowth along the Jordan River?”
