I'm pretty sure everyone gets this at some point when they write.
But, especially tonight, I just was stuck
I had a couple of things I was thankful for today and since tomorrow marks 2 months of this blog, I was toying around with the idea of how to celebrate this occasion. But, like most thoughts, it fled, and I began to search the caves of my brain for ways to write out things I wanted to say.
As I began writing one post, I began thinking of a particular bible verse and thought it would good to reference it in the blog.
Almost an hour later on bible gateway, I realized that instead of just getting that one verse and closing out, I had been reading and completely forgot why I was in the bible in the first place.
Because of my writer's block, I ended up getting a good solid hour in of time in the word. That pretty much is awesome in so many ways.
What started out as a quick, "I need to finish this post and go to bed" thing ended up turning out to be a much needed reconnection with the words of God that encouraged and strengthened me without the slightest of efforts
I needed that and only his word could do that. . . . And so, Today, I am thankful for writer's block.
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your[a] life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. -Col. 3:1-4
