Writer's Block

It would be so fun to pour my heart out right now and leave you all with a profound thought or a witty saying, or a deep reflection. However, I have no such inspiration at this moment, except the feeling that I want to be writing and wish I had something interesting to share instead of the flow of my thoughts. Maybe the fact that its nearly midnight could have something to do with this temporary writers block.
I love night! Some days it seems there is so little time to do things that you want to do...well, working is good...and I am an avid proponent of earning money for the ominous school bill that looms on the horizon. But busy days of working leave little time for creativity. :-) A friend told me today that if I truly enjoy writing I must make time for it, even if it is only a little time every week. And so, I shall try. If nothing else, I can keep a blog to have a record of my thoughts because I'll wager that only a very small population of the world will ever stumble across my tiny portion of the web.
Today I was reminded of the gratefulness I should have for the life God has given me. I think in my eagerness to move on to the next stage, or in my imagination of the way things could be, I often take for granted what I actually posess. That's no way to live, because I will miss out on the beauty of the present.

Thank you, Father, for the life that you have given to me. Thank you for each person that you have placed in my life. Help me not to take my blessings for granted...like my family, my job, my friends, and my health. I don't deserve blessings...I don't deserve You.

Soon and Very Soon...

Well, I am back! After this incredibly long absence and a year of life changes, it is time to start writing again. I'll never be able to re-cap all that has happened, but I can pick up again where I left off and continue on with the "normal" posts about life. lol...but life can never be normal, and it rarely is what we expect...which often makes it so exciting!
My next post will be something substantial...I promise :-) For now, let me just leave you with something to think about...a verse that describes my feelings about the past year of life.

Deuteronomy 3:24
"Oh Lord God, You have begun to show Your servant Your greatness and Your mighty hand, for what God is there in heaven or on earth who can do anything like your works and your mighty deeds?"
