I'll never be this good." Thank you for reminding me that God has given me a race to run that is my own, at my own speed and not the other person's. <br /><br />-Julia Garcia / Arysta HenryArysta Henry https://www.blogger.com/profile/10566109627323355424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-1419645728032571402021-08-06T16:25:26.978-04:002021-08-06T16:25:26.978-04:00Thank you, Pam!

Although my fellow runners and I compete during the race, we're friends off the track and support each other. We exchange training ideas and commiserate about injuries. In the end, each of us wants to run our best race, regardless of where we place. I think the same is true of authors. We're in a highly competitive field, but as long as we do as you suggest and run our own race, we can support our newly-acquired friends, learn from each other, and enjoy the fruits of our labors.Kay DiBiancahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09510251278455380607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-13061383603249519942021-08-06T10:05:51.793-04:002021-08-06T10:05:51.793-04:00Thanks for the reminder that God’s plans and God’s...Thanks for the reminder that God’s plans and God’s timing is individualized for each of us.
