The Barbarian Horde Workout - Day 12
Motivation has been a real problem for me lately - in all aspects of my life, spiritually, mentally, physically, relation-ship wise (w/my wife and daughter) - the whole nine yards - bottom line is (in as delicate a term as I can possibly use while not risking loss in translation) - I've sucked hard lately and I've been unsure why.
I was having a conversation with a friend this morning about this and he suggested that I may be in what St John of the Cross described as "The Dark Night of the Soul". For want of a better explanation - a place where God steps back and watches to see what my reaction will be when I'm not "on fire" or "passionate" about anything. Will I still do what I should do? Will I have a daily devotional? Will I communicate with God? Will I Will I still honor him with my life? Or will I sit back and complain about all the factors in my life that seem to be draining me of my passion for living? While I have not been complaining - so much as seeking answers, as admitted, I have not kept up with my spiritual life, and as might be expected, my passion for everything else in life has been steadily diminishing as well for a while now.
I am nothing if not a spiritual person. I have a soul and it requires tending to - much as a garden on a farm does. Like the farmer - I am affected by factors I have no control over - keeping me humble in recognition of the fact that every good thing in my life has been a gift from God.
After sharing one interpretation of this (Celebration of Discipline: The Path to Spiritual Growth by Richard Foster - a book I freely admit I'd not heard of much less read) I had to agree - this "Dark Night of the Soul" is where I've been lately . As much as I've been searching for answers to my current situation - it's an interesting place to be in to say the least.
