I’ve had a song on repeat for quite sometime now. The chorus is just, “I’m done and I’m tired”. I’ve been ‘done’ for a long time now and I’ve been ‘tired’ for even longer. Nothing has gone my way since I quit ministry but that is exactly why I quit. I was ‘done’, I was ‘tired’.

You only have so much to give, only so much to invest before you have spent everything. If you can’t figure out how to replenish yourself than you’re going to continue on in that rut until you do.

I gave all that I had and when I was weak, when I was ‘done’, when I was scared, when I was ‘tired’, when I couldn’t give anymore, they began to take. I have a hard time recognizing the man that I am these days. I’ve never recovered. I feel like I’ve tried it all. I am ‘done’. I am ‘tired’.

I used to be full of passion, full of meaning and full of character. Now I’m full of apathy, full of mediocrity and full of hesitation.

I’m ‘done’.

I’m ‘tired’.
