But I've learned that, like Peter, Jesus reaches out, takes my hand, teaches me to have more faith in Him, and gently sets me back in the boat.Sherry Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11059720425746960468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-57421697516333669792013-09-22T17:38:04.308-04:002013-09-22T17:38:04.308-04:00Great post, Edie.

Just when we think we are about at the end of the line, another surgery is required. It drains time and energy from our entire family.<br /><br />I keep looking to the day when I can become a productive servant of the Lord again through my writing, blogging, etc. Right now, I'm content to be His servant by providing the support and encouragement my dear husband needs. Sometimes it's hard to remember that everything happens for a reason and according to God's timing.

We need to remember God's timing is always perfect.Ellen Andersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05474986203062305511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-46892455363288616812013-09-22T07:31:22.241-04:002013-09-22T07:31:22.241-04:00Edie, I needed this post today!

Being a soprano in my church choir, I could relate to that post. What holds me back from my calling, which I feel is partly to speak to women, is simply . . . fear. I hate admitting it, but that's the main thing. Fear of what people will think. Fear of the unknown. Fear of failure. Thanks for your sweet words of encouragement.
