Pen? Nay...Keyboard

Write....
I feel like writing again. I realize that writing is in me, and it has to come out.

I have discovered that typing is so much different than pen on paper.
There seems to be a flow that happens with the pen.
Thoughts form, run through the pen and onto the paper. The words continue until there is a sentence, a paragraph, and eventually, whatever it was that God wants said is there on the paper. I am always amazed as I begin writing with just a small idea and by the time I dot that last period, it all make sense. I love that I can be pondering a question and find an answer in what the Holy Spirit has written through the pen. So many times, I find myself giggling, or tears falling or just in awe of what has just been written. I am humbled by the process, and it is like a fire in me...that has to come out.
Giggle...
and yet again...
here I sit, humbled.
God, through my fingers on this keyboard, has shown me two things.
Two things that when I started typing were not there.
The first thing is, that I can have the same experience with a keyboard and moniter, as I did with pen and paper. His Spirit will flow through me, it's a matter of surrender more than the means.
Second, a scripture was playing over and over in my heart...
Jeremiah 20:9 - But if I say, "I will not mention him or speak any more in his name," his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot.
I have been weary, and didn't even understand why...and there is my answer.
So, I will write.
What is it that is in you, that you are holding back? What is making you weary?
Join me in surrender.
I am beginning a new adventure...here is my hand and my heart Lord...let's do this!! ;)
