Get Up and Walk Around

Sometimes we get rooted in monotony.
Sometimes it hurts to look at the lives of the people we minister to.
Sometimes we are uncreative.
Sometimes it seems like we are just repeating ourselves.
Sometimes it seems like no one is listening.
Sometimes we aren't listening.
Sometimes we get stuck.
Sometimes we become complacent.
Sometimes we end up being okay with the status quo and forget about why we do what we do.

Sometimes we need to get out of bed and walk around.
Take a walk today, around your neighborhood, your ministry areas, around what energizes you. Take a wide-eyed look at the signs of the Holy Spirit around you. Listen to some good music, turn off Facebook and get up. Walk around. Get the blood moving. Pray. Buckle down.

As the husband reminded me this morning, the easiest way to wake up starts with getting out of bed and walking around.

So I groaned. I got out of bed. And I woke up.
Sometimes we just need to get moving.
