God is showing me that the VA part of my business is where He is at work right now, with speaking/writing only being supplemental or as little streams into the larger brook/river. I am learning to be content with it--in some ways admin stuff is one of my preferred things anyway--I never was one who wanted to write for hours. :) I think He will expertly weave my various gifts into one package for a higher purpose of serving others, no matter the size of my platform. It's taking time to be content with that and it means sometimes I'm in the background while others get to speak and have a book growing in popularity, but if that's what God wants, that's okay.Beth Beutlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04636344328197859260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-5750585543521557262016-07-07T09:57:01.420-04:002016-07-07T09:57:01.420-04:00Such wisdom, Lynn!

So thank you for that, if for nothing else.<br /><br />The questions you've asked me to ask myself have been copied into my timed writing app and I'll be looking at each one of them for fifteen minutes (minimum) throughout the day and possibly in the days to come. Thank you for that, as well.Carrie Lynn Lewishttp://www.carrielynnlewis.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-29485024749109149982016-07-07T09:12:13.121-04:002016-07-07T09:12:13.121-04:00Good thought.

Proper perspective with contentment can change my world one day at a time. Last week I put a note on my desk, "Be prepared for when God Promotes". Might not be an inspirational quote, but it reminds me to keep working.<br />I'm going to print these questions to keep in my journal.Jennifer Hennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11742102451822520705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-49788469181766611012016-07-07T08:28:32.429-04:002016-07-07T08:28:32.429-04:00I love that!

God encouraged me to write a teaching on "If Only" I was able to teach it to a few ladies. My "If onlies" have turned to "Only God." I now find contentment where God has placed me. I love what Paul stated "I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances."

Too often I've allowed my desire to be elsewhere in my writing to steal my present joy in the here and now. I'm saving this post for a future time of reflection, Lynn. Thanks!
