It's been a long time...

No matter what happens in life, I find the gifts you're born with will always be pulled to the forefront whether you consciously choose to or not. If you're a writer, you will be compelled to write. It may not be as you envisioned or as you desire but you will write. If you're an artist, your craft will find a way to manifest. Any God given gift will somehow manifest until all purpose has been served.

As I sit here writing thoughts I never intended to, the power of gifts amazes me. My only intention today was to do some research for my sister's endeavor. Next thing I know, I am pulling up my old blogs and writing! I had thought my desire to write had finally been put to rest. I am purposefully working on my health and making great strides but had just about given writing a permanent spot on a back shelf. Surprise surprise!
I find myself encouraged to write again and missing it more than I thought. So among my other pursuits (beginning a handcrafted jewelry business) I will save some focus for writing again. Sitting here, a smile creeps upon my face. Divine gifts will do that.

Gifts you are really attached to may sit unused yet every time you 'clean' out the ideas in your treasure chest, that gift will remain. They are life giving because they stir your creativity and invigorate your life’s' breath. They have purpose.

All the ideas you have in your head, all those dreams that resurface have meaning. It doesn't matter how long they are there. It doesn't matter how much progress or manifestation comes. Until purpose is fulfilled, they will remain and purpose may not be culminated as you originally thought. Maybe you weren't meant to bring the idea completely forth. Perhaps the idea was just meant to be shared at the right moment with the right person as a seed for them to pick up the baton and fulfill. Perhaps the idea needs to be watered by someone else for you to fulfill. Then again, it may just an issue of timing and maturity.

So share your ideas prayerfully and wisely, keeping clear of dream killers. God's purpose will direct you as to whom, how and when. Trust God's leading.

Or sometime through avenues unbeknownst to you, you will be directed back to that gift or idea. Like me. Like today. So again I renew my gift. Today I share it with myself.
