Worrying about the blogging (posting and reading and commenting) for the same reasons of name recognition, as well as facebook, twitter, writing, etc., that the most I am getting done is blogging and even that I am behind on. My writing has suffered and I almost have writer's block. I need to stop, breath and turn it over.Amy DeTrempehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04785965181851533070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-40450310031792278042009-11-20T18:54:41.072-06:002009-11-20T18:54:41.072-06:00Thank you.

But I know I will make those cuts other places online and write and God will be in control.

It's easy to compare ourselves to other people, but we're told in scripture this is not wise. <br /><br />My prayer is: Lord help me to keep focused on You.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

Take the earthly goals out of it, and use your writing gift to build a deeper relationship with Him, instead.<br /><br />I'm trying to do just that, but when the bills start adding up, and knowing that I could possibly find a paying job right now to help out, the questioning haunts me. I know I wouldn't be able to write if I worked, there just isn't the time with the amount of sleep my body requires and my family responsibilities. So, do I sit and write on for Him, watching the debt grow, and trusting He'll provide, or is it time I started contributing financially again to this family? The earthly me is battling the trust factor.Eileen Astels Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11098531184044931737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-62238794451865627852009-11-20T09:28:16.747-06:002009-11-20T09:28:16.747-06:00Sometimes I think I'm my own worst enemy, beca...Sometimes I think I'm my own worst enemy, because the voices in my head know exactly where to get me and when. But I believe God has given me certain stories that I alone can tell and that he has given me an ability to tell Him. So I really try to walk--and live and write--by faith.<br /><br />Have a great weekend!Kristen Torres-Torohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15903038121623389560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2081925465275931199.post-18949614880784383062009-11-20T09:10:14.516-06:002009-11-20T09:10:14.516-06:00Fear is such a paralyzer in any part of our lives....Fear is such a paralyzer in any part of our lives.
