Man-o-man is this true! A few months ago, I hit a dry spell. I couldn't write ANYTHING. So frustrating. So I prayed for God to inspire me and you know what ya'll?! HE DID! Thank you Jesus! So much so, that my BRAIN HURTS! hahaha. Seriously, I have so much to write and so much that I want to say, I can hardly get it out, because it hurts to focus on one idea...SUPERFANTASTICALLY WEIRD!
I mean these ideas won't go away! LOL. Not that I want them too. It's just that, I'm scatter-brained enough...I don't need to add the chaos of mixing 10 completely different stories together causing this...hmmmm. Wait. That's not a bad idea actually. I once had a professor tell me that many of our ideas are elements that can be combined to contribute to one successful story. Maybe that's why I can't write a complete story from these ideas. Maybe they are just the elements. I'm gonna have to create a Captain Planet! "With your powers combined - I. AM. CAPTAIN PLANET!" lol.
But anywho, what I'd like to pass along from this wonderful blessing is that NOTHING or no place in your life is uninspiring. Even if you're working at McDonald's dropping fries, or a waitress at a Cafe, or behind the desk as a Receptionist when you want to be creating GREAT MASTERFUL FILMS WITH AWESOMELY INSPIRING SUBJECT MATTER...lol --remember you can get the most whacked out ideas from the most boring and mundane things in life.
Remember God has a plan for us, and you have to believe that. I heard Derek Luke at a Q & A say, "If you have a dream, know that God put it there." "If you have a skill, know that God gave it to you". God has already equipped us with everything we need, all we need to do is to believe. HA! Ask and you shall receive and don't under estimate the power of speaking things into existence either. We are all made in God's image, and we all have the ability to speak words of Power. But it wont happen unless you BELIEVE.
Matthew 21:21
Then Jesus told them, "I assure you, if you have faith and don't doubt, you can do things like this and much more. You can even say to this mountain, `May God lift you up and throw you into the sea,' and it will happen. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."
Whenever you're feeling a bit discouraged, just put on your "blinders" (don't look at what everyone else around you is doing) and know that God has got your back! He's just waiting for you to Believe.
Does that make sense? Comments welcome ;)

One Thing at a Time
Matthew 6:34 "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
I revist this verse everytime I feel overwhelmed with the long list of TO DO'S I have made for my life, and career. Often times we look at the big picture and get distraught over everything that needs to take place to get there. Or we get distracted by looking at what everyone else is doing and accomplishing instead of focusing on ourselves and our own journeys. I challenge you to put those blinders on and take one thing at a time when dealing with your long list of TO DO's. You'll be amazed at how much LESS stress you'll experience when you just CHILL OUT, take a breath, and TRUST GOD.

Suzanne was exhausted. Pressures at work had become increasingly intense, and each day she felt as if she was falling further and further behind. She desperately tried to pray about her situation, but after a while, the words just wouldnt come. She became so consumed by the details of her exhausting job she didnt know where to begin. She tossed and turned at night, wondering how she was going to get it all done - on top of keeping up with things at home.
Do you ever feel this way? Life can often be overwhelming. Deadlines, commitments, details - it's enough to make you want to crawl back into bed and pull the covers over your head. Jesus understood that life could be busy and overwhelming. He knew that it could seem like too much to bear. His advice in this regard is simple - do not worry about tomorrow...each day has enough touble of its own. Looking too far ahead into the future - even one day - can paralyze us with worry and exhuastion, so much so that we dont feel like doing anything at all.
Jesus taught that it's far more effective to tackle life one step at a time. Simply do the next thing that needs to be done. Not only does this keep our worry at a minimum, it enables us to trust God to help us accomplish what we cannot do on our own. Living in the moment takes practice, but it's a worthwhile investment of your time. -- From Whispers of Wisdom for Young Women, published by Barbour Publishing, Inc. Used by permission."
