God: Hey Taylor!
Me: Oh hey God! What's up?
God: I notice you're writing another blog post.
Me: Yeah...I'm not correctly completing thoughts, so I thought I'd move on and do something else.
God: Do you notice something with your writing?
Me: Well yeah...even with video scripts, I can't seem to finish or start thoughts. Last year, we were so creative. We wrote video series, launched YouTube videos, brainstormed lesson plans, etc. It was so fun, God! I have that same overflowing desire to share your wisdom. Yet all thoughts seemed locked in a vault.
God: I know.
Me: I'm trying to open the vault: keys, codes, hacksaws, chainsaws, etc. It won't open!
God: I know.
Me: Why?!?!
God: Well Taylor, "my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness" (2 Corinthians 12:9).
Me: What do you mean?
God: Only I can open the doors to your creativity. I type on your computer through your fingers. When I lock the doors or halt your typing fingers, I'm shifting your attention to somewhere else (at least temporarily).
Me: Where?
God: Your vivid imagination is an extension of my grace. Keyword: extension, implying it came from someone/something else. That someone else is me. That something else is my grace. You forgot the root of all blessings, Taylor: myself and my grace.
Me: I'm sorry...I'll stop kicking locked doors...not like I can open them anyway...instead, may I solely rest in you and your grace.
God: Good girl. My power is made perfect in your weakness.
THE END
P.S: None of the above are a Biblical extensions. It's all my imagination!
