Some days are just plain ordinary.

There are days I don’t do anything exciting. There are days I don’t really do anything good for other people. There are days I can’t come up with anything great to blog. Days when my brain gets locked up and nothing profound comes out of my mouth or pen. There are days when I make it to the office, complete the tasks that need done and just go home.

Do you ever have days like that?

Last week I went to my blog reader program called feedly. A fairly popular blogger had made a mistake in their work and left the title as simply “New Post.” I laughed and thought to myself how sometimes I can’t think of a good blog title either. In fact, some days I can’t even think of what to write at all.

I read the blogs and posts of some people and I am amazed. Everyday they do something great. They are always acting with a sense of purpose and mission. Their actions include writing, serving others, visiting people while being the perfect spouse and involved parent. Honestly, most days I struggle to accomplish just one of those things.

Through the years I have had to train myself to think that it is okay to have an ordinary day. Living for God does not mean that everyday will be a spectacular experience. Living for God means that He is present with me in my normal everyday moments. Then He somehow takes my ordinary encounters and use them for His glory. He is with me as much today as every other day and that means everything will work out for the best. This is true even when I don’t see it or feel it.
