A Pathetic Whatchamacallit

November 13, 2020

I just discovered what I suffered from. It‘s not a pathetic nothing. Not 3 words. Not 2 words! Just 1: Apathy

defined as

1. absence or suppression of passion, emotion, or excitement.

2. Lack of interest in or concern for things that others find moving or exciting.

3. Also ap·a·thei·a, ap·a·thi·a [ap-uh-thee-uh] /ˌæp əˈθi ə/. Stoicism.freedom from emotion of any kind.

Before now, all I could do is explain it as the Rosa Parks stare! You know the picture where she is sitting on

the bus looking out the window. She had no idea of her fate or the fate of her people. Stuck between going on and taking a seat!

Look at the alert as I was typing this.

Lord I thank You for leading me.

I know that I am on the brink of something life changing. Not just for me but my folks, my people. I’ve been stuck and smiling. Needing to sit down and not taking a break. Breaking too long and needing to get moving!

How’s that for the Keep It Moving lady?

Well that really moved me into WHAAAAAAATTTTT! What am I supposed to do!!!

Only to find out that I am doing that but was unaware.

So to that I say I am grateful! God is moving when I’m not. He knows when I don’t and He takes pleasure in disclosing to me the “WHAAAAAAATTTTT“ of the things I don’t know.

Remedies:

1. Pray. An increased prayer life is always in order.

2. Ask for help. Start this in step 1 above.

3. Write it down. It doesn’t have to make sense. It will.

4. Shed and shred some things.

5. Give.
