Whenever I sit down to write a blog post I tend to sit and stare at a blank screen for 30 seconds, realize I have no wisdom, no radical ideas, no brilliant blog topic to ramble about. So I open a new tab and browse the web, or I go to iTunes and find some music to 'inspire me', or in most cases I close the blog screen and think 'another day when I have my thoughts in order'.
My problem is that that day will never come if I wait for the perfect idea, the brilliant subject; the important things, the things that really matter, do not come easily. This is something that we discussed (albeit briefly) at bible study--that relationships do not progress without work. I feel like this has been a recurring theme recently. I had lunch with a friend and we were talking about all the friends that we do not keep in touch with anymore. People that we thought would be 'friends for life'.
It is hard though, when your lives drift in different directions. But what is even more thought provoking is that this is just as applicable to your spiritual life. I know this isn't earth-shattering. But it is a good challenge. To be consistent in my walk. To not be complacent.
