So, whenever I would baby-sit, I would use the same response my mom would when one of the kids said, “I ‘m bored”. I then would say, “Well, I can find you something to do”. Sometimes it would be a fun activity and other times it would be work. Here is my dilemma: I am bored. I am feeling as if I need something really different in life, yet I fear change. I want the comfort of everything to stay the same, yet I am craving a great adventure. I WANT someone to give me work to do.
I am not sure how to solve this problem of boredom. Do I need a new career? Do I need to start a new hobby?... But what hobby and will it cost money I don’t have? I have activity in my life. I just started a small group at church, choir and helping in the library. I do things with many friends and enjoy my puppy. So I don’t think activity is part of why I am bored.
I took Millie outside this morning to use the outdoor facilities and the stars were gorgeous. How can I be bored in this wonderful universe God has made for us? How can I be so stagnant and not try new things? How can I just sit on the sidelines as life passes by? I am making a commitment right now: I am going to be more adventurous. I am going to be passionate about life and use the gifts and talents God has given me.
There, that is solved, so what next?

It sounds to me that you need some passion in your life? What are you passionate about? what can you not stop thinking about? What do you want to do for the rest of your life? Find something and pour your life into it... Ask God to show you why you are in this season of "boredom"? Ask Him what he wants you do to while in it? What is he preparing you for? He will show you and you will be amazed!! He has a plan for you and your life... rejoice in it!!
Passion... maybe that is the problem. No passion. I will ask God for a passion. Orphans... I am passionate or is it compassionate (close right) when I think of a child without a family. Have you ever seen the movie "Martian Child"? It is about a single man adopting a little boy. I own it, so if you want to watch it, let me know. Perhaps I will find out how to act on this concept, while still single, in some way.
