It’s that time of year when the B word starts rearing its head,
Bored
The kids know that the B word is not allowed, nothing will make their parents breathe fire and go insane like the B word.
If you are fighting boredom
Clean your room.
If you’ve done that, clean the house.
If you’ve done that, clean somebody else’s house.
Find work
If you can’t find work, volunteer.
Find something new to learn.
Or a good book to read.
Find your purpose, mission, passion.
If you’ve found that, do what you do better and do it with others.
If you haven’t, find a mentor or try something new.
(If you can’t find something new to try, clean your room again)
If you can’t find a mentor, find someone to mentor.
If you can’t find someone to mentor, find someone to serve.
Find God.
If you’ve done that, pursue Him, go deeper.
If you’ve done that, tell someone else how they can too.
Create something.
If you’ve done that, share it, give it away.
If it’s not awesome, find a way to make it better.
Pray.
If you’ve done that and are still bored, listen better.
Ask God, what does He want you to do.
I don’t know what that is, but I am pretty sure He doesn’t want you to be bored.
(If you can do one or two of those things and still say you’re bored come over to my house and I will throat punch you. Just kidding. Kind of.)
If you can honestly say you’ve done all that and you are still bored, then help someone else do those things.
If you can do all that and still are bored, maybe you aren’t bored, maybe you’re burnt out.
I hope if you’ve read this that you realize life with God and others is too awesome to be bored.
Don’t be bored.
Be awesome.
Be responsible.
Be generous.
Have a great summer.
