Write to Discover.

I wrote something today that I never thought I had inside of me.

"Write what you know." Its a common enough expression. But we can also write to discover.

Maybe its just me, but putting words down on paper brings clarity that I did not think was possible. It's a common practice in therapy actually, to start with a question and just start writing. And often, if you're open to everything that is going on in that little torture chamber we call our mind, something really remarkable can happen. We'll end up in a place that we could never have imagined our thoughts taking us to.

I think this is especially true as a Christian. Maybe you think I'm crazy, but I am absolutely sure that if we are broken and honest, God brings thoughts to our mind that are truly not our own. A question. A memory. An idea. Simple, but it becomes a step that leads to another that ultimately brings us closer to him, and to the sanity we were praying for.
