BLAH

Blah. That word really is self-descriptive isn’t it. We have all had that blah feeling. Blah defined means boredom, lethargy, or a general lack of satisfaction. I’m guilting of feeling blah and it usually shows up after a day or period of time that involves me giving of myself to others. Why is that?

When we set “me” aside and give of ourselves to others it can deplete our spirits. Think of it this way, you have a gallon of water and when you give your ounces away it leaves room in your jug for filling.  If you are in a job that requires consistent outpouring then you run a high risk of dehydration and burnout.

What’s going back in your jug?

It is deeply important to fill yourself with the right stuff so that you have a continued source of freshwater to share. A wise man once said the software controls the hardware. This simple phrase means that the mind controls the body and the emotions that come with it. The mind is a precious instrument that must be carefully looked after to ensure that the body stays on course. Bad software updates can destroy hardware in an instant.  

As your Chief Encouragement Officer, I implore you to take inventory of what is replacing what you have given away. For us to move from blah to awe we must continue to pour out and allow ourselves to be filled up with a source that nourishes and sustains.

Move,
