Simply put, how do we make our way through a day? Everyday, we endeavor to scale seven rungs. These seven rungs are our scaffolding for each day, “scaffolding on which a worker can stand and labor with both hands at sections of time” (Annie Dillard). Scaffolding to work on sections of time… and portions of hearts. Everyday, we wake, grab the first rung, and begin our way through the day.
“So I think this is how we are to write, Ann, don’t you? We go to the door of our Heavenly Father every day and say,
“Your daughters have come to visit me. Their hearts are hungry and I have nothing. You are the Bread of Life. You are the Living Word. Will you give me something to share with them?”
Give us each day our daily bread. Luke 11:3
If He ever says “no” then that’s the day I’ll have to put down my pen. Because I know:
I am the servant and not the source.
This is what gives me the courage to write.
We don’t have to come up with words.
We only have to ask for them and be willing to share them—to face the fear and put them on the table. (And there’s always fear, yes?)”
