The Missed Joy of Writing

The past couple of weeks have kept me from my keyboard, but not from my studies (out of which I usually write).  During this time I have been studying the book of Philippians and am only currently in chapter 2.  Chapter 1 was so rich that it has taken some time.

Regarding my health, I continue to have more tests done, but all of them remain "inconclusive," which I am hoping does not translate into laymen's language as "it's just all in your head."

Now, about the "missed joy of writing."  In these past couple of weeks that I have not posted to Heart & Path, I have found that I really missed the creative and expressive outlet.  It has reminded me that there are so many people who battle chronic issues of pain (or worse) and subsequently experience levels of frustration because they cannot create, express, or just be productive in some way.  It remains all bottled-up.

Thankfully I am still able to do enough to keep many of those kinds of things active.  While I have certainly had to forego quite a few of life's "normalities," I do my best to keep going with the things that I can.

If perhaps you are reading this and you are battling some kind of chronic hindrance to being creative, expressive, and/or productive, let us keep reminding one another that life may not be easy, but with Christ it is worth living to the fullest extent that we can!

Merry Christmas!  Thanks for dropping by.
