Experiencing Burnout?
Maybe that's your call to retire so you can refire.
Dearest friend,
It's me again.
I hope you have been good.
Let's talk.

On days when you experience total burnout, nothing seems to be going as planned, and you're getting little or no results.
What do you do? Cry? Play the blame game? Or quit entirely?
Before you do any of this, have you considered taking time to wait? What if God is the One calling you to take out time and wait on Him so you can understand the next step to take in that venture?
What if you need to refuel so you can become more productive?
Sometimes, burnouts happen so you realise you are not all-sufficient and so you can turn to the all-sufficient One.
Do you know there's strength and wisdom in waiting?
But those who wait upon God get fresh strength. They spread their wings and soar like eagles, They run and don’t get tired, they walk and don’t lag behind — Isaiah 40:31 MSG.
Maybe the real reason you're always feeling this strange hunger and deep dissatisfaction within is because your soul wants to be with the Lord.
A runway might appear like it's leading to nowhere, but at the end of the same runway is where flight begins.
When you have gotten to the end of yourself and you're tired and worn out, that is not the time to quit. It's time to refuel and refresh in Jesus. It is the time to fix your gaze on Jesus because that is where your help will come from.
Remember, our Father is deeply touched with the feelings of your infirmities. So go to Him because He understands your frame and frailty. He can completely relate to your challenges.
Talk to you soon.
Blessings 💕
