Picture Perfect?


I am not able to write like I used to.  I feel that the part of me that believed that anything is possible, the person who found endless inspiration in the beauty of the world has taken a cold hard blow to the gut.  I have a lot to write about and no words.  Words used to run through my fingers like water through a dam, but I guess the source is dry.

I am feeling it begin to well up from somewhere inside me, but even in those moments of inspiration I sit down to write and just end up staring at the last ten years and *feeling the last two.  My heart was broken, more significantly... my naive trust was shattered.  I realized for the first time that things really aren't always what they seem.

Perspective is everything.  Viewing my life from the ground up is daunting.  I have to continually remind myself that the only perspective that matters is the one that comes from heaven down.  God is molding me into the eternally framed *picture perfect being that He intended for me to be.  ~reminds me of an old Amy Grant song...All I Ever Have to Be...is what He made me.  Huh, it seems a lot different now than it did all those years ago.
