Stuck up

Whew, this writing thing is pretty intense. I'm currently working on my first assignment, and it's writing a dialogue story using a given picture as an inspiration. Sounds easy, eh? Not really. The first day I attempted to do it, I just stared at the picture, and nothing....a few minutes of staring and I called it a day. It was my first case of writer's block. Haven't you ever just stared life in the face, and thought well, nothing? For a moment, analyzing life, and figuring out where to take it just became too hard? Yup, that was me with this picture. I couldn't think why couldn't I just do this simple task? Sometimes you've just gotta take it for what it is, step back for a second and then return with a clear head. I did that, and guess what? I started to write and write and write. The ideas just started to spill out of my head as I began to develop my story. Well, now the story is in no way ready to be submitted. It needs to go through several revisions and editions before I can turn it in. Kind of like life....when we seem to get stuck in it, just step back, forget about stuff for the moment, return with a clear head, and let the Lord lead the way and of course with constant revision and reflection through His Word and through prayer. The Lord works in mysterious ways. It's surprising how He speaks to us. Sometimes through His Word (the Bible), through phsyical signs that happen to mysteriously show up "just like that", or other times He's that quiet thought in our heads that seems to just reveal the answers out of nowhere. It's awesome when that happens....especially when those nothing times seems to stop life in it's tracks.
