I have not been on the computer very much as I am in a little bit of a slump. But I came on today to check out the ones that I missed. I really liked that post. Your words made me weep. I feel much the same as you. It is amazing how blessed we are in spite of the financial woes. But God is bigger than our financial problems, so I am trusting Him to take care of us.

I started a blog THEWORDSFORINSPIRATION.COM because of this type of channeled writing. I love it because when i read it back several weeks later, its like i don't remember the ideas that brought about the writings but it always comes from my heart.

Just the other day at ...Yes! Yes! Yes! Me, too.<br /><br />Just the other day at the coffee shop as I was getting ready to write, I opened my journal and wrote at the top of the page: "Why I'm writing today." Short version, here's my list.<br /><br />1. Obedience. God gave me a gift and a place (the newspaper) to use it. I write in obedience.<br />2. Faith. I write in faith that He will use that weekly column to encourage others, to spread joy and laughter, to strengthen families and individuals, and that all of it will honor Him and advance His cause.<br />3. Hope. I write in hope that all of the above things are true that and that there is a future in it for me and my family as well.<br /><br />And then a stranger walks up as I'm writing and says, "Are you...?" and I say, "Yes, I am," and he says, "I love your column," and I hear a whisper from God, "Keep writing."<br /><br />So I do. I keep writing.Rhonda Schrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05512423397478708632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30652620.post-1700343334952475102010-10-04T21:20:27.331-07:002010-10-04T21:20:27.331-07:00Great thoughts!
