Getting Unstuck

I've been fascinated this week with the many apps available to help people get organized.  Whether it is used to take notes, keep time, track progress or map out a plan, there seems to be an app for everything.  The one that entertained me most was one named "Unstuck".  The app is designed to ask questions to help you uncover the reason you are unable to finish a project.  Here are some of the questions:  How are you feeling in this stuck moment?  Is it a personal or professional type of stuck?  Are you the only one involved?  What are you stuck on now?  What kind of thoughts are you having now?  What are you doing at this moment? 

After answering these questions, the app analyzes your responses and identifies a tool to help you get past this stuck place in your project.  I was labeled an Idle Achiever.  (We like knowing what’s right and what’s wrong—it’s our compass for life. We can size up any situation and immediately know how to fix it. That’s why we’re often put in charge of people and projects. Quick, decisive, confident: Yup, that’s us! Until…we get ahead of ourselves. Then our best laid plans simply lie there, and we’re stuck being idle achievers.)  Kind of sounds like me, too many projects left undone.  

As I answered the questions in the app, I realized that I already knew why I was stuck and how to get unstuck.  It's an awful lot like those times when our lives are not quite on track.  We try to find someone to tell us what to do with a cool book, a new program or a trendy app.  In reality, all we need to get unstuck is to pray and use our Bible for guidance.  After all it's our 'Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth'.

II Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
