I woke up at 4:30am this morning ready to write a blog and draw an art piece as I have been doing these last couple of days. I got up, drank some water, prayed, then switched over to coffee and sat down ready for creativity to flow. It would be smooth sailing from here, right? Nope.
Last night, I got a spark of creativity and it resulted in an illustration detailing the battle between light and darkness that happens when I sit down to create and share something good. Well, I thought that this creativity would continue flowing through me. Well, that was pretty naive of me to say the least. This morning that battle of "creating vs not creating" was even more intense. I sat down staring at a blank screen and my mind was blank. I couldn't think of anything to write for this blog or to draw as an art piece this morning.
The time kept ticking away and I was getting frustrated.
Then I had a realization. I came to the battle empty handed. No ammunition. No weapon. Nada.
God will always help us. However, he expects us to put in the work as well. I haven't done that with creativity. I have not been diligent in setting myself up for the battle that God will help me with. I will do so as of this morning. I will set time aside and schedule time to think creatively of what I struggle with personally and experiences I have had that I can illustrate and write about. God willing, I will be here tomorrow morning ready to battle over a thought and God will help me through it. I have faith this will happen.
