This is the view of our mountains, yet clouds lay thick and low and I can't see the majestic reality that is normally within view.
I'm here, yet I have felt this need to pull back and refocus. I don't know exactly why -- if it's a good thing or simply too many distractions -- but all I know is that, even when I try to sit down and write, I feel like I have nothing in me, like I'm looking out into a thick fog and there is just no clarity.
I guess that's what we call writers block!
So, friends, I'm here. I'm just quiet. Praying and believing that the words will come as the weeks shake out and I remain determined to be consistent with one thing alone -- time with the Lord, simply accepting this time of quiet, of listening and obeying.
This has become such a precious place for me to share my heart and have you join in conversation. I don't want to be quiet. I don't want another week to go by without a (real) post and I don't want to lose readers, but I also must never forget why I'm here in the first place -- to reflect Christ, who fills me with the creativity and inspiration in order to reveal glimpses of heaven in everyday life. I do that best by trusting God rather than statistics.
Trusting that there really is something beautiful just beyond the haze.
What do you do when you have writers block?
Sharing with Finding Heaven
Hey there neighbor...take the time you need...trust Him for the timing...for when the haze is lifted...and it always seems so much brighter once the fog lifts. And readers...there is always Grace...and may we all trust God more than number. blessings as you live under the shelter of His wings~
ReplyDeleteGod is at work in the quiet moments, too. Enjoy this time of stillness.
ReplyDeleteChange your local...grab your journal and go "old school!" Hit the trail or local coffee shop and you'll be inspired and maybe enlightened. Of course there's always time for peace , you just need to listen to your soul and see where it takes you. If it is the coffee shop....don't forget your drink after you pay for it! ;)
