Limbo


Sometimes it is hard for me

to see

to see things the way I should

I hit a wall with my writing

nothing seems to sound the way

I want it to sound

this puts me in sort of a limbo

a feeling of not really knowing

then I realize

I am not meant

to know

only when I try

to force the answer

do I get caught

in the limbo

Christy, i can really relate to what you are saying. Any writer or artist can. Sometimes my "wall" is the physical clutter that surrounds me as i write, nothing a little elbow grease can't handle but then there are the times when my wall is something more complicated and God is trying to teach me something. At those times i just need to be still and pray and wait. This is never easy for me because by nature i am not a patient person. Right now i am experiencing a wall myself. Some of that wall is visible to me but then there are the parts that run deeper and i am having to trust in time God will show me what is hidden to me. In the meantime, He wants me to trust Him with the visible. As i said, it isn't easy but i do believe He has great things for me waiting on the other side of the wall and i believe He has the same for you. So hang in there girl, be still, pray, listen and wait. God wants to show off for you and bring that wall down! Love,charis

Charis...Well said my dear...well said.

I had a pastor tell me once...to stop talking to God long enough to hear what He was saying to me.

Sometimes...we force...instead of being still.

I am no artist...so I appreciate your words and paintings...

But I used to write poems and when they stopped flowing naturally I moved away from them.

You see beauty in the little things...your limbo will pass quickly. :)

Love,
Wendy

This reminds me of clay. The potters hands have to gently press things here and there, but mostly the hands are used as a gentle guide, to keep the shape of what is being molded. I know that you have the words, God has gifted you that way. Just don't press to hard, rest your head against His and let Him gently guide you. It will come!! love you.
