Blockages...

I'm sure you've experienced one of these before.  Writer's block or crafter's block .  You want to come up with something brilliant and it just won't surface. It happens from time to time.
I have a project before me. I was waiting for inspiration to strike;wondering why my creativity feels like it has hit not just a rut, but a deep dry gully with no rain in the forecast.  That makes me feel restless because I know the time window is rapidly closing and I don't want to create a project that didn't receive all that I could pour into it.  What if all you have at the moment isn't enough?   What ingredients are missing?  So I open my journal and notice the last dates when I wrote down meaningful things there.   Hmmmm.  I see a pattern.
   

Busy life.   Stress.    Mountain peaks.   Valleys.   A gully or two.    And then the plateau where I find myself today.  

I surf.  I get an inkling of an idea.   I pick up my Bible.   I take out my pen.   And I open a new notebook and it just starts pouring.     Beginning to see a pattern there too.    

Right about now I'm really missing  my small group and Coffee Break group...

Note to self: Don't take  vacations from studying and making regular deep forays into the Word.  It keeps the thirst quenched, the creative juices flowing, and softens the heart.   Because it all goes south when the heart is not throne room material.
