I put my pen down for a minute and didn't write, I just couldn't find the words to say. With so much on my heart and on my mind I couldn't get the words out. Then I realized I needed to keep them in. I was on a search, a detailed search. My time away was my self exposition. It was me finding, defining, and refining me.
I found that I was flawed, more flawed than I had actually believed. It was me finding that my happiness did not lay in what was around me but rather what was in me.
It was me defining me. Defining my identity, not as a poet, not as a money guru but as a Christian, a man, and a leader. My identity is found in the things I hold most important: God and family.
My break also refined me. It was the author and finisher taking a chisel to this stone and carving out what he wants me to be. My refining was the submission of my will and my way to God's will.
My self exposition found, defined, and refined me. The break is over.
And I'm back....

This one is personal. I mean it truly tells the story of YOU. How u came to b who u r today. It shines light on what some may see a a dark secret maybe even sudden change in you. But I knew that YOU were always hidden inside of you.
If we could only redefine the size of ya head then the world would be aight....lol j/k... glad that I once again have something to look forward to whenever I come home.....smooches!!
I love introspective looks within. Primarily because they reflect outward the truth of who the Creator fashioned us to be. Its funny how we need other people to interact with, but can lose our way in them if we're not mindful. Im glad you reflected you again when you put your pen down. Who else besides you could pick it up? Im a writer too, but thats a mighty heavy pen God's got you toting around. ;) Joy F
