For the past couple of days, I've been feeling really "BLAH" as if my life has no substance or meaning, and as if I need to be doing something else, something more. I often feel overwhelmed at times because there is so much I need to do, and because of that, I don't know where to start- therefore not doing anything at all. Though I can encourage, motivate, & help others.....it is hard to do the same for myself sometimes. When I start feeling like this, it doesn't last for a long time, only for a few days. Even in the midst, I KNOW that God is still good, but sometimes I don't "feel" him near. I'm reminded of the quote: "Even when you can't trace God, TRUST him" (or something like that, lol). So that's exactly what I'm doing. I know also that alot of how I feel comes from me not doing "enough". When I'm not busy, I often think about the "past" instead of the future. The enemy will sometimes even bring up past relationships at which I'm trying to forget about. For instance, just like today....I was on this particular site and saw the "name" of someone I was in a relationship with, and shortly thereafter I saw a "picture" of someone else that I was in a relationship with also! Lol, I was like "DANGIT"! But I know ALL is WELL! I get like this sometimes. Everyday isn't peaches & cream for me regardless of what you see or may read. I am normal, I am human, and I make mistakes, get angry , frustrated, annoyed, confused, and sad just like the next person. But lately, I've had a couple of BLAH days....have you? What do you do when you have these kind of days? These are just a few of my thoughts.....
Lovely blog, Nina! As I read your entry it reminded me of myself: I can motivate and help others easily but when it comes to myself and my 'blah' moments, it's not as easy. Right now, I'm transitioning out of one of those moments, and what usually helps me is writing poetry about how I feel and looking at my inspiration wall, which is just a corner in my room that houses things that motivates me (like my Bible and study guides, poetry book, a picture of our President, past achievements, quotes...). These things remind me of why I continue to do more, whether I believe it is enough or not, to set out and do the work He holds especially for me.
ReplyDeleteWhen I feel like there's no person that can understand my bouncing thoughts and crazy situations, I jot it all down, pray, and listen to music. Writing these feelings down continues to help me, hopefully it'll help you too :)
LOVE YA!

This is just LOVELY! Lol. Thank you so much for your words girl! It really means alot & makes a whoooooole "buncha" sense! I love that idea of having an "inspiration wall". I truly think that would help with my "blah" moments. Your comment really inspires me and it feels good to know that I'm not alone. I am so proud of you dear! Keep shining & becoming a better you! There "sho' ain't" nothing wrong with that, lol! Love you much and THANK YOU for encouraging me! *big hugs*
ReplyDeleteI have Blah Moments too!! I had them last week as well. So lets just blame it on the weather!..When I am feeling Blah! I usually shut myself from others and rest. I will drink some Green Tea, read a book or watch a movie. But I try not to let it go on for too long.. So I make myself snap out of it and GET BACK TO WORK!...Devil loves it when we have the spirit of the Blahs...slowing us down from doing what we are suppose to be doing...HIS WILL!!... ~LOVE
ReplyDelete@ILS: That is soooooo true! I've been having quite a few of those moments lately, but most of the time I know they come when I need to re-evaluate some things in my life! So I actually appreciate the BLAH moments, though I don't like them, lol. Thanks so much for encouraging me! :-)
