Ever had a blah day? A day when you didn't feel like getting out of bed, let alone do anything productive? Maybe you're tired or the weather is bad or you just don't feel like being a contributor to the world at large. You feel emotionally void, physically drained and spiritually dry. Know what I'm talking about, or is it just me? The blah days, when you want to eat too much, sleep too much and do nothing worthwhile. I have those days, and let me tell you, those days are hard.
It's in the blah days that temptations seem the most available. On blah days, it's easy to sit around on social media, look at things and say things. Some things you shouldn't look at, some things you shouldn't say or post or tweet. It's a temptation to be rude on blah days, because you feel blah. It's easier not to care about someone's feelings. It's easy to say or do things you'll regret. What do we do with blah days? Where is God when things are blah?
Blah days happen, and we have to live through them. A few things you can do during those blah days. Find a project offline, like a scrapbook, model, paint or draw or write or sew or something. Find something to work on, something to focus your energy on. Listen to a sermon or Christian music while you do something. Fill your mind with positive things that will keep your mind from drifting to negative things. Play with your dog or your cat, I'm sure they would appreciate it. Do for a drive or a walk or a swim and take time to breathe. Most of all, keep the lines of communication open to the Father. Maybe God is taking a day to slow you down to tell you something important.
Blah days come, but they also go. Hang in there during those days of blah-ness. I hope you find a blessing on the other side.
