I really appreciate how you brought the Serenity Prayer to this. God is, after all, the author of time and all things in it. It feels like courageous faith to me!Karlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13269284137806662627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368253437984056042.post-76922631127534260572012-08-20T07:47:34.727-07:002012-08-20T07:47:34.727-07:00I feel for you, Darlene.

What I try to do is keep busy so I don't waste that time. Doing so helps me move forward and helps me take my focus off the hoped for news or event.<br /><br />Congratulations on your release!Keli Gwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13236868298400593688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368253437984056042.post-714489080411575382012-08-20T07:21:50.887-07:002012-08-20T07:21:50.887-07:00avery, I'm unsure how to reach you if you win....avery, I'm unsure how to reach you if you win. . .

Some Christian have to stand in the gap and suffer so others may learn .I do wish some would learn alittle faster than they are . lol Blessings Dana Wilkerson Spillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15017213232933553974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368253437984056042.post-38244413488389268752012-08-19T15:16:59.806-07:002012-08-19T15:16:59.806-07:00Barb: Good points!

As you know, I live on a farm. this is the busiest time of the year, and of course, unexpected things pop up all the time. Just recently, it dawned on me that times I have to bale hay, irrigate, mow lawn, and other things necessary to keep things going, are special times I can be "scheming" plots, characters, adding new twists, etc. I actually do better using those times plotting than when I'm at the computer. When I get back to a notepad or the laptop, I can't wait to get those ideas on paper! Another thing I do is use those times to pray for others. It takes my mind off myself and my needs, putting the emphasis somewhere else. I certainly realize my situation is different than yours, but hope this helps.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14273454153064200807noreply@blogger.com
