It is my source of time with Him, understanding what He needs my simple little heart to know, but my writing has come from walking through lonely and dark places and at times I want to stand up from my "seat" and have the life that I would have planned verses the one I am living. Surrendering to His call has proven to be an ongoing daily choice of dying to myself and living for Him even if it isn't going exactly like I would have wanted. Knowing His character, that He loves me and is good helps in those moments of letting go of what I wanted in order to fully embrace who I am in Him. I need posts like this to help me in moving forward in that way. So thank you!!Believer's Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16132916331092566466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-6138235625566918742017-06-23T08:36:58.850-04:002017-06-23T08:36:58.850-04:00Thank you.

My relationship with Him is closer than ever. He’s rewarded me with insights into myself and with precious friendships I would never have experienced had I not made the choice to follow what He called me to do." They resonate with what I am feeling.quietspirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086016141181470311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-24278974306820147192017-06-22T17:28:00.750-04:002017-06-22T17:28:00.750-04:00Your obedience to Him warms my heart, Karen.

However, I kept pushing it off because I was a HS/college English teacher raising a family, so I didn't have time or creative energy to write a book. It took me 11 years to finally start, but I joke that I had to write so God would quit nagging me. :) And you're right. Once I gave in, He equipped me. I'll be forever amazed at all the "God moments" that have happened on this journey.Karen Sargenthttp://www.karensargentbooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-49328291370253386012017-06-22T11:09:05.134-04:002017-06-22T11:09:05.134-04:00Sage and timely advice, Henry.
