So its been a while since I've blogged. Its crazy how in life you will go through seasons of doing certain activities while be incredibly excited by them; then the next moment you are on to "bigger" and " better" things. Such is the case with this blog. If I can go back to that last statement, however, I recalled recently that the creative branch of my tree seems to have withered a bit recently. And while I'm not so sure as to every reason why, I think part of it is that o have moved on to the next big thing. Honestly I'm not even sure what it was or what the last 5 big things have been, but fact of the matter is it seems as though I was caught in a cycle there for a little bit. If you throw on your deep-thinker cap for a moment I think I can try to explain. You see sometimes in life we try to synthesize excitement by finding things we enjoy to do. Whether that be music, golf, reading, writing or even humor. When it comes down to it this is a small version of trying to fill a void only God can fill. Let me be clear while I have no doubt Jesus is my lord and savior, and that void is filled, like many of us I have tried to fill the void which is the Joy of the Lord. Reality states that there is nothing but Lord who can bring us true joy and happiness. Now I realize that may have seemed more extreme of an answer than my situation called for, but what if we were under the allusion that God isn't in the day to day, seemingly in insignificant dealings as well. I think he might be.
So what does creativity have to do with any of this? Well I believe God placed in me a creative mind that, unfortunately, I've been stunting the growth of. Your creative muscle is just as much imrpoved by repetition as is the cardiovascular system of a runner. I think I have started to try to many things in order to be happy that I forgot to just be Gods child and use the gifts he gave me. There is a reason God has made each person different from the next and that is he has different plans and purposes for each one. Mine is not to be a professional golfer or (insert pointless hobby here). Now hear me out. There is nothing wrong with taking up hobbies. I will continue to play golf and work on pimping out my 1992 Honda accord named "Sanchez" but the point being, I can't consume my life with those when God had called me to develop the gifts he built in me. For he knows the plans he had for us. Plans to prosper.
I know this was long and a little bit thicker than usual but I thought I should let you in on some thoughts going through this weird brain of mine. Hope your all doing well. And hopefully you'll hear from me again sooner than my last blog.
Adios amigos
