Praising God

UncategorizedAnd now for something completely different, I needed to praise God this morning. Perhaps not for anything specific, at least not writing-related. But I don’t do it enough and this week has been hard, so I will thank God for helping me get through it without complaining or crying THAT much.
I still have my family, we have our jobs, our health and our home.
If I have to be a one-hit wonder, I will still write. Please, Lord. Help me to do your will and enjoy doing it. Amen.
Amen! Good luck with everything. I'm sorry this has been a hard week for you. I'll send my prayers your way. 🙂
Thanks! You won't believe me (okay, you might) but I've jettisoned the first 40-50 some-odd pages. You know, like they TELL you to do? The book starts on the eve of battle with the Yellow Turbans now. I've got a ton of backstory and foreshadowing to work in, but I suspect it's doable. I had always felt so strongly that I needed to start in the Peach Orchard where the original novel starts, but I couldn't keep the tension going. I've lost about six chapters and 10,000 words, but tension should not be a problem!
By the way, that was the good, productive news from this week. It went downhill from there. Sigh.
Lovely post.
I'm sorry you've had a hard week, and your second paragraph says it all. Sometimes, we need to be grateful to God for the things we *do* have, which is so much more than others do.
Victoria,
My thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through the rest of this week and into the weekend.
I hope everything works out in the end. Sometimes we just have to trust that it does, even if we don't understand why.
hugs~
Ahhh … keep plugging along. Glad you're moving forward and counting your blessings. Always good.
Enjoy the journey!
=)
Thanks, everyone! Patience and faith are good and so are friends!
Hang in there, Victoria! You know what they say about turning lemons into lemonade.
Girl! I hope things get better for you but I love your attitide. I'm always amazed how God shows up in the littlest ways to remind me he cares. Hugs.
Thanks, Christina! I get the feeling He's still trying to get my attention. My thumb drive died Friday morning without my having done a backup in weeks.
