To write, or not to write

I finished my master's program, work is wrapped up for the academic year, the boys are home for the summer, and I am not writing much these days.... I am learning a new way of living - one with much less pressure and much more focus on the boys. I am also needing to establish my summer routine of daily quiet time. I had a great system going when there was some place to be every morning by 9:00. Slowly, but surely I am adjusting to a simpler, more peaceful daily existence.... Ahhh.

When I was too busy to think straight, the Lord gave me words to write like a faucet running at full tilt. Now... not so much. It is June 15th, though so I have my second memory verse of the month to share; the 12th memory verse of the year; the mid-point in my goal for 2009. It is an appropriate verse, I believe:

"Just say what God tells you to. Then it is not you who will be speaking, but the Holy Spirit" Mark 13:11b (NLT).

This is it, my friends. This is where I am right now. Relaxing, enjoying, absorbing, reading, listening, thinking, but not writing/speaking much, and this is just fine with me. Keep checking in, if you choose because one never knows when the faucet will begin running again. You never have to make yourself known in this venue, but I always enjoy hearing from you!

  1. I have always found that when I am super busy, a ton of ideas pop into my head for writing and I never have time to stop and hash them out. So then when I have plenty of time on my hands to write, nothing comes to mind.

  2. True, true - I do think our brains are wired that way!
