more than the sum of my parts

The past few days have been hellish. Several things came to a head all at once. But God doesn’t give us anything that we can’t handle, and sometimes we learn something about ourselves in the process.

In times of high stress in the past, I couldn’t concentrate enough to formulate a thought, never mind write anything down. Even so, when I did take out my notebook the story continued and for the brief moments when I could physically be still, I was able to write.

Learning that I can write in these situations goes a long way to increasing my confidence as a writer.
