Yesterday afternoon I was in the middle of fleshing out a great blog idea. In the midst of my typing frenzy I didn’t pay attention that my fingers were typing faster than the words were appearing on the screen. It didn’t faze me at all, apparently that my thoughts were not being put on the page; my fingers were moving, the thoughts were flowing, but nothing was happening on the screen. When I realized what was happening, instead of picking up a pen and continuing with my thoughts on paper, I tried frantically to “unfreeze” my computer by hitting everything from the escape button to ctrl/alt/del. Nothing worked. Finally I pulled the plug- knowing that nothing from the past ten minutes had been recorded OR saved but praying all the same that it would appear when the document was reopened. I turned the computer back on, opened the document, and then shook my head because what I had thought would be true was…just the opening statement remained. I sat and stared at the screen
Faith can be a scary adventure. We must be willing to get our feet wet and our hands dirty! Braving the waters of baptism and ministry isn't something you can do with one foot on the shore!
