Inspiration


I used to get quite bummed that I have no ounce of songwriting talent in me. Nothing comes, and there's nowhere I can tap from or connect the experiences I've had to song. It was weird to me, as a musician, and try as I might, no lyrics or tunes ever flowed from me in that Rachel Yamagata way - the bohemian lass plucking her guitar and a song emancipating from the folksy strings. Alas, this bohemian lass has no lovely songs to sing at her gigs.

However, I've realised of late that the way songwriters get inspired for a song - Wave of ideas hits. Furious rush for pen and paper. Impassioned scribbling - is the same way I get my sermons/teachings.  It's probably because I just can't stop talking and God knows I'd be better amusing people with my antics. 

Everyone has a special anointing and I pray you'll find what you were created to do effortlessly, as waves of inspiration hit you in the sweet-spot He gave you and you start living God's dreams.
