Back to the Basics

We are back to the basics

Where we believed like children

Without a wavering heart and no doubts at all

Giving out our best and blocking out the noise

Even when the situation was dire

We did not pay heed to our experiences

Neither were we attentive to our understanding

For that was what we were conscious of

But now, there are questions without answers

A lot do not make sense

Like when the word says

Give from your heart for you shall receive

Do not be anxious so we hand over our worries

Do not forsake the assembly of the saint and we fellowship together

But we begin to provide alternatives

What if I do not give to the church but to the poor?

How about if I worship but by myself and virtually?

Anxiety? I cannot do without

Then we begin to worship on our terms

Why follow the aspects that favour us alone?

Pray but not give to HIS store house?

Sacrifice but just a little aspect of ourselves?

Show kindness but only to the people we want?

Life happens, they say

Our experiences play a role and we struggle

Even with this aspect of ourselves

Where we’ve been instructed to let ourselves go

How hard is that?

Just like you, I do not have the answers

Because just like you, I am on a journey to acquaint myself with Him

I am back to where it all began

Just like a child.

Can I Write?

Uncertainty is what fills my heart

Confusion clouds my mind

Should I write?

It’s been a while and I doubt if I still have the power

That ability to touch lives with my creativity

To put those thoughts into words and pour it out as I used to

The pressures of life so overwhelming that they make me want to stay away and give more excuses.

When I know I should push myself a little more and create those beautiful pieces.

Procrastination, laziness, lack of time, self-doubt, nobody would miss me – were my justifications.

But I felt the guilt and the envy which prevented me from interacting with other content creators who were still pushing it.

How are they able to create? Even when we are unsure of our level of impact and the level of motivation so low.

Maybe they have super-powers that prevent them from giving up.

Gradually the envy metamorphosed to admiration.

I began to appreciate the tenacity of fellow bloggers who never rest and keep churning beautiful pieces so consistently.

They are the real MVPs

The break was good but deep down, I knew I had to get back to one of the most liberating passions – to create, to write and to touch lives with words.
