Writing and my Inner Life
It’s true. I am indeed a bad blogger. One post in about two weeks, I believe. So much for disciplined writing! Reading has been no better, so I guess I can’t expect much of myself. I am really finding that in order for me to write anything of worth, or for that matter, anything at all, I have to purposely seek consistent quiet time and inspiration in the form of reading Bible reading and reading about other spiritual matters, as well as other quality media. Good stuff in = good stuff out. Lately, there’s been very little in at all, and my a.m. routines have pretty much gone out the window since TG. I don’t bounce back very quickly. SO, here I am again…back at square one. Cranky, uninspired, and a feeling a little lost.
I need to find something consistent. For all of the large churches in my area, I can’t seem to find a regular Bible study or small group that works with my schedule, and I can’t find a group of friends to meet with regularly either. Frustrating. I do well in a structured setting and very much wish I could fine one. I realize that this is no excuse, but I am wishing outloud (on paper…er…in cyberspace).
The bottom line is that I struggle with consistent discipline in my spiritual life. Period. And of course, I feel guilty about it, but more than that, it really really affects me, and I do not like it.
I also need a good, deep, but not too overwhelming, personal Bible study. Any suggestions?
