Write Now
I've been having trouble getting something written every day. I wait too late and instead of just sitting down and starting to write, letting the words go where they will, I've been trying to "plan" what to say and make logical transitions from one thought to the next. The energy and concentration needed for that is daunting and I end up not writing at all.
To remedy that "writer's block" kind of situation, I'm making a commitment to write something daily (okay, I've already broken that promise, but am trying again) even if I'm tired, it's late or I have nothing to say... when do I have nothing to say? Hah! No matter what, I'll just write... NOW!
I'm getting acquainted with some of the locals. This morning I joined a group of ladies at the pool for aquatic exercises and will work out with them most mornings. I have a lunch date with some ladies for Wednesday. We had a huge thunder storm this afternoon and in the midst of it our next door neighbor dropped by to invite me over. I visited with them as we waited the return of electricity and they sent me home with stew and freshly baked oatmeal bread.
I am searching for a home church, but a final choice won't be made until Richard is here since it is obviously a joint decision... actually, we'd both prefer that the Lord did the choosing. I am praying about that. He has always led us where He would have us and I trust He will do so again.
I am church hungry. I didn't attend last week nor the week before and I feel malnourished. I have long said that to be spiritually well fed and healthy, we need a balanced diet of Prayer, Bible study (with the Lord as the teacher), Fellowship with other believers, and Corporate Worship. This, of course, is what God prescribes in His Word. Well, I have to admit I have not had a very balanced spiritual diet since we moved. My daily prayer and Bible times have been cut short or missed altogether. There has been little or no fellowship with other believers and I have missed church... not good. Not good at all. Definitely time for a change!
