Loss for Words

Well, if you know me, if you've even met me, you know that I don't often find myself "At a loss for words." But, here I am speachless. I love to write. I really enjoy blogging when I have the time...when I make the time. Which is why I am writing (or trying to anyway). I thought maybe I'll read some of my friends' blogs and take a stab...nothing. Okay...I'll begin writing and see where I am led. So, here I am talking through my writer's block! I am frustrated. How can I not have anything to write about. I mean I woke up this morning. Really...God decided that today, I, would open my eyes take a concious breath and be on my way. Should this not be enough? Should I not be able to write a novel just on that fact? I now find my gut churning slightly with anger. This is weird. I am really not sure that I have anything about which to be angry. Well, except the fact that I haven't any point to this ever so insightful blog! But, legiterally...is that worthy of such an emotion? I think not.

So, wow! Is this what I am concerned about? The fact that I am sitting comfortably in my bed (which has sheets, two blankets, a down comforter, and four pillows) with my computer (that is connected to the internet through my cell phone) resting on my legs while listening to my TV and dwelling on the fact that I cannot put words to my thoughts and emotions? Really? I am suddenly ashamed, once again, of my self absorbed actions. And if I haven't said it enough, REALLY!? I say that this time because it was just several weeks ago that God reminded me, yet again, that it's "Really about something bigger than you Allison!"

And it's not like I don't know this; but, apparently I haven't been "Knowing" it when I need to. Okay, so now finally something to chew on! And...at this moment I realize that my discipline should not be exercised on blogging but on something else...
