Lord, I really cannot do poetry.

For a while now, I have been so inspired by poems and stories I've read about my friends' experiences with God, what they have learned from Him..and I wanted to try my hand at typing what I've learned from Him in a poem or story. And I just couldn't do it. No words came to me, and I got stuck right at the beginning.

I tried to do one just now, and I ended up staring at the computer screen, typing random words..and finally, I scrunched up my face and said, "Lord, You didn't really bless me with the gift of poetry did you?"

And I burst out laughing. haha. I mean I love writing about Him, about my feelings about Him and what He has taught me over time, but to do it in a poem or story..now that is a completely different thing.

Well, not to lose heart. Maybe one day, I'll just be blessed with the gift, and who knows?Maybe I'll end up writing poems for a living. haha. highly impossible, but oh well, I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength!-Philippians 4:13.
