Bored until blur

Have any of you ever felt that there is really, absolutely nothing to do, especially after a hectic season of rushing about here and there, doing this and that? I'm sure that this is not alien to many of us, especially my circle of friends. Just the other day I was talking to a friend of mine who had just gone home to Johor and he spoke these words, "I'm bored until blur!" Which quite appropriately describes most of us right now.
December 2004 was a really busy month for me. With so many activities going on, there was hardly enough time for me to even sit down and rest. My home became a hotel, what with me just coming back to eat, bathe and sleep.
But now, in the first few days of 2005, I think it is time for me to sit down and reflect on what I want to achieve for myself this coming year, not merely pack it full with activities but rather to focus on what would bring me the greatest satisfaction and fulfillment. One of the ways I believe I can attain this is to have a closer relationship with the Most High God. Which is why one of the top priorities for me this year is to have a deeper, more meaningful time spent with Him each day, and not just to fulfill a duty or obligation. Also, with the help of my buddy :), I will strive to read through the entire Bible this year. This will not be an easy task, as I have attempted it before and only managed to do it half way through. Nevertheless, I believe that this year it will be possible with God's strength and the encouragement of my buddy.
As I am typing this, my boredom and "blurness" are slowly diminishing, and I am getting truly excited about what God has in store for me this year in all areas of my life. There is no need to be bored when there is nothing to do, but it is a good opportunity just to rest and be still in God's presence, to listen to His voice and to know that He is always there.

"Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare of the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I am trusting him."
Psalm 91: 1-2 (NLV)
