Staying Focused

"Don't dig up in doubt what you planted in Faith."
~Elisabeth Elliot 

My doubt has been distracting me.
Constantly it's nagging me, trying to steal away my focus. 
I remember those nights when the words find me. I remember how the words flow through my hands. I remind myself how alive it makes me feel. 
When I'm no longer sure of myself... I remember a time when I was, and that is all it takes to regain my focus.
One word will lead to another, one chapter will follow the next. 
The doubt no longer bothers me. It's not like it's stopping me. 
You can't get to me. I know who I am. 
I'm all in. I'm fully dedicated.
It's no longer the words I'm after, it's the life. It's the emotion. 
I have to do this, because if I don't write, I'm never gonna live again. If the words don't come, I'm never gonna feel again.
Doubt is just waste of time. And time is ever wasting.
