Blocked

I have been very lacks on my blog for the past couple months.  This bothers me.  Then I began to realize that I have been creatively blocked for awhile.  Knitting is boring, blogging is not happening, even drawing has ceased.  This is starting to bug me.

As I started analyzing this today, I was working on the church website.  It is fun to design new pages and look for new ways to creatively advertise the worship of our church.  What I began to realize was that just like all of the other creative things in my life, that too was a chore today.  In 4 hours, I have created and deleted 10 pages. I actually published 4 of them and updated a couple, but the real meat that needed to get done just was not happening.

Upon further looking at my creative block, I realize that in the past couple months I have been going through the motions.  I am very happy with my life but have been coasting.  My relationship with my Savior has been coasting as well.  I would not say that I am in a rut but if I do not make some changes soon, I will be there.  I don't like that.

We do that.  We get comfortable in the day to day routine and moving from one thing to the other.  The difficult turn is to say, "Self.  You will make the changes that need to be made.  You will spend time in the Word.  You will do SOMETHING creative daily."

So, my plan:
                Begin my day intentionally with God.
                Do something creative every day (no exceptions)
                Step out of my own comfort.
                Spend time daily in the Word.
