Maybe writers have slumps too.

I was committed to diligently writing my blog, but it felt like I was hitting a mental block. I have a few drafts that remain unfinished. I'm trying, but I just can't seem to finish a blog post. I’ll start writing what’s on my mind, but then my thoughts start jumping between unrelated ideas or scenarios. After that, I can’t finish writing, and I struggle to make my thoughts cohesive.

For instance, I was writing about my best friend and how our recent get-together and heart-to-heart talk really helped me navigate my emotions around the recent events in my life. I managed to write a good three or four paragraphs, but then I suddenly didn’t know how to end it.

Then, my mind would jump to thoughts of sharing how God has answered our prayers. Our permanent residency application is finally moving forward, and for those who don’t know, it’s the last few steps toward migrating to Canada. But, of course, this still involves a lot of processes and will consume a significant chunk of our finances. It’s an exciting and challenging season, and while I’m grateful, it’s also overwhelming, causing me some anxiety that’s even manifesting physically. But I’m encouraged by the faith of my partner in life. He acknowledges that we still have a lot to work on, but he’s confident we’ll surpass this last leg of the process, achieve our goals, and finally start anew in the land of the maple tree. He also reassures me that God provides and has a purpose for us. I’ve been patiently (but sometimes impatiently) waiting for the government posts, which are taking a lot of time. He comforts me by saying that maybe there are great things in store for me and that God is preparing me for whatever is to come.

In line with these major updates, I’ll be taking my comprehensive examination this coming September. It’s pretty overwhelming that so many things are happening at the same time. I know I can do it, but it’s starting to get under my skin. Still, I’m hopeful that everything will go well and fall into place.

I know this is kinda mixed up, and I'm not even sure if it makes any sense. But for now, I’ll leave it as it is. Maybe writers have slumps too.
