Renewal

This picture brings to mind the word renewal. After the barrenness of winter, spring has come. And with it – renewal. Seasons of barrenness often occur in the life of a writer as well. Seasons when we struggle to find the right words. Seasons when there are no words at all. For myself, there was a season of intense anxiety and sleep deprivation last year that left me unable to function normally, let alone, write. But God, in his great mercy, restored me, and in time, granted the ability to write once more. It’s not a mercy I take lightly, and I praise the Lord daily for his grace. If you’re in the midst of a season where your words have been lost, take heart – a renewal will come in time.
