Emptiness

Trying to set aside time to write each day isn’t always easy. For me it seems that my ideas come in a flood and I will write feverishly for a couple months and then all of a sudden my mind seems completely empty. So many times I have found myself caught up in other responsibilities that have to be done and my passion gets shoved into the background. When that happens day after day my mind loses its focus and putting my ideas down on paper is harder. That is where I am right now.

All the ideas that have been jotted down and all the various directions that I wanted to pursue on paper have little or very little meaning to me now. Yes, I can relate to what I was thinking about and have some ideas about how I planned to develop a story but the inspiration is gone. I miss it but don’t want to lose it completely. Putting just these few thoughts on paper is a way to try to push beyond the writer’s block. I miss the writing and enjoy the person who can write and draw spiritual applications from simple and often overlooked events.

I have spent so much of my life hiding in the past and doing everything for others that my dreams and goals in life no longer seem important. God, help me to get back to a point in my life where I feel appreciated and loved by you and can find my focus. Let me feel your presence and bring me back to a point where I can sense your spirit and power moving me forward to a new and brighter future.
