While the primary message came through loudly and clearly, God spoke so beautifully to encourage me about persevering in my writing life as I watched. It truly was God’s message for me, and I’m privileged to be able to share it with others in the hopes they, too, will persevere for God’s glory.

Other things call that need done, housework, garden, yard work. When I asked God to show me what I needed to be doing I found that one by one the things that 'called me" garden then yard, and some of the many other things people had wanted me to do...I could no longer do because of health issues. I can still write and do basic housework. The housework was never a first choice anyway, LOL. So there I have it. Never ask a question if you're not ready for the answer I guess.deborawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16379928023984310298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-52461695480527678192018-09-28T12:03:55.341-04:002018-09-28T12:03:55.341-04:00That movie touched my heart, and so did this post....That movie touched my heart, and so did this post. I'm struggling with the decision on how to proceed with my writing. The nagging feeling of not seeing the fruits of my labor before I leave this earth dangles in the back of my mind. I refuse to let it sway me, but I still catch myself feeling discouraged. Your post opened my eyes and reminded me God's timing is perfect and my top priority should be my faith in Him.

But, my writing and journaling my hurt to God, get me through the difficult times. I started an article a few months back about the collateral damage divorce inflicts. I am moved now to complete that piece.
