Recharging

Posted by Rob under Random Thoughts

I'm in a unique season of life right now. Having just completed six months as Interim pastor at City Church, I am having to refocus my time and energy. It's not as easy as I thought it would be.

Have you ever gone through seasons where there seems to be no creativity? That's hard when so much of what I do requires vision. I was sharing with a friend today how difficult it is right now to write my messages. I struggle with finding the right direction to go with what I want to share.

He responded with typical wisdom, suggesting that I needed to take some time away from too much processing. I needed a season of just taking things in. I agree. I need to focus on some of the things that don't require a lot of thought, but allow me to recharge my creative juices. Reading, blogging, dreaming.

What are some of the things you do to recharge creatively? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
