So, I know I need to start writing again. I just don’t know how…
It seems easy, right? Like, you sit down and words just start flowing out? Put your fingers on the keys (or pen to the paper; for those of you live in the dark ages, hehehe), the stars align, and you write this profound piece…yeah, it doesn’t seem to work like that lately. As a matter of fact, writing seems to be the least of my worries. It feels like I don’t know how to do anything anymore.
I think (actually, I KNOW), you guys have felt this way too! We all go through seasons where our “know how” seems to be challenged. Whether, it’s because we change jobs. Or, a relationship suddenly gets difficult. Whether it’s because we are suddenly the parent of a teenager, and have no clue who this child is anymore! Or, even at the opposite end, you just had a baby and can’t even remember what sleep is let alone figure out how to make it happen!
Sometimes, everything seems to change! And, in what seems like a moment, we can’t figure out who we are or where we fit. We find ourselves sitting, staring, and wondering, how?
How do I go forward?
How can I make this work?
How long do I wait?
And, as I am trying to write this little blog, I am looking back at what. I. just. typed. And, something is standing out to me. Hmmm, maybe you can just sit down at the keys and type…
Do you see it too?
It is so not the how that I need to be worried about. It’s the I.
In my own strength. In my own power. I will never, EVER, know how.
My focus needs to realign. My heart needs to trust. Because, I will never know how until I know who. And, ***spoiler alert*** who is always, Jesus.
He is the key to how. Every time I forget how, I need to remember who. I know He will make my path straight. I know He is trustworthy. I know His ways are so much higher than my own. And, most of all I know His love for me is complete and forever and unfailing! I will choose happy because knowing WHO gives me the victory over every how!
