Paper Pusher

I want to write, but can’t find the words.
I want to create, but no color is appealing.
I want to sing, but have no voice.
I want to run, but can’t find my speed.
I want to shout, but no one would hear.

I’m having one of those days when I just want to be active, not busy-.  Apart of planting a church sometimes means working bi-vocationally.  I’ve been living in these two worlds for eight years and days like these are common.  I don’t want to sit in an office; I want to be with people.  I want to study scripture in a coffee shop, surround myself with possibilities, listen to live music, jog with neighbors (or better my wife), and want to feel the joy of helping someone hear God.  I want to be in ministry, not behind a desk pushing paper…too much pushing paper.
