Just Like Writer's Block, Life Block Is A Thing Too

Joy comes in the morning.

You have heard of writer's block, I know that you have. In fact, I was experiencing it today. Life Block is something sort of like this.

When you are a writer, writer's block is one of the most frustrating things that you can experience. It doesn't matter if you write for pleasure, for work, for school, not being able to think of the words to put on a page is incredibly frustrating. This happens sometimes in life.

It's like you're just stuck and can't think of what to do next, where to go, what to say, maybe even who to ask for help. Maybe you just went through or are going through a really tough time. I find life block sort of happens when you're in the downtime of your heartbreak. Maybe you have faith that everything is going to be okay, or that everything happens is supposed to and what is to be, will be. This, however, does not make the here and now any easier. Sometimes I think it might just make it harder. Sitting and being patient for things to get better.

Let me tell you though, "life block," as silly as it may sound, happens to all of us. Everyone goes through things that are hard to handle. We all fall, make mistakes, bad things happen. Life is not always happy. And that is okay. Do not give up hope. Psalm 30:5 says this; "For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning."

And how encouraging is that? Joy is just waiting for you in the morning when you rise. Joy! Have you ever been sad about something at night, maybe laying in your bed and thinking too much? Sometimes it might not be much of anything but for some reason that night it bothered you. And sometimes you wake up and don't even remember why you were so sad. This is exactly what we see it Psalm 30:5

And while the night in which our weeping endures may last longer than just one single night, the morning where the joy will be will last so much longer.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
