Sometimes, I want so badly to write a great post. One that will attract attention and praise for its eloquent prose and novel ideas. It’s times like these, when I can’t think of a single thing to write. My mind just goes blank. It’s frustrating to say the least. I’ve been having the same problem for a couple weeks. I have a lot of ideas, maybe eventually I’ll form one into a blog post. Author Chris Van Allsburg was quoted saying, about his writing, “there must be something to think about at the end.” I completely agree.
I sometimes like taking ordinary statements other people make. Christian or not, true or not, and relate them to why I believe the way I do.

So I’ve taken a few minutes to read some of your blogs since you’ve posted on mine, and I feel that we have a tendency to think similarly. This post being a prime example. I mean, I know everyone who writes has times like this, but the fact that you would post about not having anything to post makes me smile.
I usually find that when I’m stuck in this scenario, my heart is ususally in the wrong place. I find myself wanting to write so other people can praise ME for the words I’VE written and the thoughts I’VE conjured, rather than the Truth that the Spirit has laid on my heart to communicate.
Of course, I’m not saying this is the case with you, just explaining things from my end. It has been good to hear your thoughts. Keep running toward Jesus!
Thanks Josh!
And you are so right. Sometimes, I get so wrapped up in wanting my posts to be great and wanting them to make me look awesome that I completely miss the things the Lord is leading me to share. The things that are important.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read some of my stuff
