The Blahs

I've had the blahs all week long. I threw my back out this past weekend and it was throbbing by Sunday morning. I stayed in bed all day Sunday and felt better on Monday morning. I guess I pushed myself too much on Monday because I've been aching ever since. I just don't have the energy or motivation to do much. My laundry has piled up, I'm doing half efforts on all my chores this week. I found this poem on line and it gave me some motivation. At least I'm not alone in my blahness.

Loving Jesus through My Blahs by Soozanne

I've been up on the mountan top
Full of awe and celebration.
I've also dwelled inside the pit
Begging God for inspiration.

Experiences like that have taught,
Extremes don't last for long.
Instead what I encounter most
Is the average dance and song.
No shocking highs, No desperate lows
Just day-to-day frustrations
And that is where what matters most
Is great communication.

Not with my spouse, my kids or boss,
Though that's important, too.
A consistent walk with my best friend
Is what brings me safely through.

The blah-ish times is where I find
My weaknesses to be
At greatest risk, the most exposed,
For my guard is down, you see.

So when you enter average days
Resist the urge to coast
Stay close beside our Savior, 'cuz
That's when you need Him the most!

The blahs are definately the times when my relationship w/my Savior is at it's weakest.
