Stopping to take pictures down roads I don't normally travel has been a marvelous eye-opener for me to God's beauty as well as possible backgrounds for scipture memes.

He knows exactly what we need -- and when we need it. Recognizing where the lies originate is the first step to standing on the truth -- and writing through it. I'm praying for you and for your first manuscript. How exciting! Keep moving forward.

I have my first manuscript in with a godly editor, and Satan is working overtime telling me how terrible my writing is; that's why it seems to be taking so long. It isn't, but then again we know who is the father of lies. God's blessings for sharing your heart and wisdom with others.Jimhttp://www.winningthroughwords.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-2626002335754260852018-03-02T10:03:49.173-05:002018-03-02T10:03:49.173-05:00Thanks, Ingmar!

It was when I realized that God doesn't waste any of our experiences that I began making subtle but powerful changes in my daily routine. I'm learning that it's those new experiences that have actually enriched my writing time. Thanks so much for sharing!

I tend to be cautious about trying new things, and saying I don't have time for new things (so I can have writing time) is a common excuse. But once I make time or branch out, I'm glad I did. Not only is it fun, but like your post mentioned, new ideas start flowing.David Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05951591607917612168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-15406124120535072402018-03-02T07:07:42.939-05:002018-03-02T07:07:42.939-05:00If it helps, the same quote stung me as well, Kell...If it helps, the same quote stung me as well, Kelly. :) Enjoy your back road adventure!

I'll often be driving the back roads near my home and wonder about the lovely old homes, the history or where one of the dirt roads I don't use goes.
