“Boomerang Advice
– when your own advice becomes exactly what you need to hear. In helping someone else, you remind yourself of truth hidden away in the recesses of your mind.”
There’s something about fall, responsibilities slows down and I begin to reevaluate. What am I doing and what SHOULD I be doing with my life? What am I putting on hold or giving up for something else? I begin to question everything- my job, where I live, my life goals and dreams, my friendships, and the amount of Jesus in my life.
Reevaluation also seems to come at a time when my relationship with God is drifting. Maybe it’s God’s way of helping me to reset. In giving someone else encouragement, I was reminded how much I need God. Yet so often I revert back to doing life on my own, in my own strength. I start wandering, seeking fulfillment in other things, when all along He is patiently waiting, calling me back to himself. Then after I exhaust my other options, I come running back to Him. Why, in the world do I wait so long? It’s time to take my own advice – as weird as that sounds. 😊
