Negative Momentum
I have about two dozen stories running around my head that I want to post to this site, and when I think about all the big stuff I want to write I just get overwhelmed and don’t write anything at all. That makes starting to write something progressively more difficult.
Be that as it may, I decided the only way to overcome it is to simply write, and build up some positive momentum instead.
I’m running myself hard this week. I need to slow down. I’ve had 7 meetings with students over the course of three days; I’m leading two bible studies this Tuesday; I’ve got an area meeting Wednesday through Friday, and then I’m teaching at our Large Group meeting this Friday. Plus, my family is coming in to town this weekend so we can celebrate my mom’s birthday.
Yikes! Why do I do this to myself? If anything, it’s going to force me to really slow down and admit: I can’t do it. I can’t make it. I’m not strong enough. And that’s not what’s “supposed” to happen, is it?
