I remember the soul-sucking days of working in offices where I thought I'd just run out screaming or worse where I just felt nothing but gray and black and awful empty.<br /><br />As for things preventing me - sometimes I let the anxiety of all I have to do, the responsibilities I feel, to overwhelm me.... will the next two novels out this year be good enough? will I disappoint readers myself my family my friends, will I be able to keep up with my R&T editor responsibilities to the fullest, what about the new freelance writing job I just took on in a fit of impulse... etc etc etc! I have to get a handle on all of it or it consumes. But, I do feel very lucky to be alive and to have dreams coming true.<br /><br />Another HUG for you.Kathryn Magendiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12863595228298349863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30652620.post-28522576433940977872010-03-13T19:57:01.456-08:002010-03-13T19:57:01.456-08:00My life doesn't always seem to work lately eit...My life doesn't always seem to work lately either.

I'm think "you bet" you'll someday be glad you did, though probably not until 20/20 hindsight sets in. Too, the very fact that you're willing to be willing, to follow & obey what appears to be God's leading is, in itself, huge. The job may never reveal anything particularly profound, but HE WILL!<br /><br />You go, girl!<br />KathleenKathleen https://www.blogger.com/profile/05245926913888212148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30652620.post-41959816134397031232010-03-13T09:12:33.367-08:002010-03-13T09:12:33.367-08:00I hear ya!

I am speaking His word to myself over and over. Some may think I am crazy when I walk the streets cause I am declaring the Word that He is the lifter of my head, I am declaring that No good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly and on and on. I don't care who sees me.<br />We are not waiting to overcome Terri, we are already overcomers, the key is not to go by our circumstances neither our feeling but by what the word says. So I just want to encourage you to use the word, that's your weapon, your greatest weapon.<br /><br />blessings and prayers<br />VickieVickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11990438534676100647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30652620.post-92101447375685745632010-03-12T21:22:36.842-08:002010-03-12T21:22:36.842-08:00Terri, I am so sorry that you are experiencing the...Terri, I am so sorry that you are experiencing the fire.

I think you need to make a plan to be able to leave that job. I've not heard you once say-going to that job is a blessing. I'm not saying - right now- quit. I am saying do what you would counsel your clients to do in the past, make a plan to move on to something else. <br /><br />In the meantime, one of two things will happen. God WILL open a new door or you will come to like where you are.T.

Hope your visit with your daughter was good. <br /><br />I would have to say that right now, I am wrapped up in mentoring and counseling some distraught people and it is taking me away from what I want to be doing, which is getting my WIP ready for a conference pitch. But I know God will make up for lost time for me. And He will for you too. He is continuing to write the story of our lives and we are to help in the process by doing what He calls us to do - however long the season. A new season will come along soon.Jan Clinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16617976979678082323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30652620.post-4757746867192408002010-03-12T13:47:16.419-08:002010-03-12T13:47:16.419-08:00Hi Terri -

I list all the blessings in my life: my salvation, family, friends, the privilege of knowing all of you, a roof over my head, food, clothing, transportation, and so many more.<br /><br />By the time I'm done, I feel much better. For the tough areas: no job, work on the house, etc., I pray. A LOT. And I leave it with the Lord because only He can fix those areas and give me the wisdom I need.<br /><br />Praying for you, my friend. Better times are coming.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

God is doing a LOT of refining in me I know for sure. It seems as if when you start to feel like this, something breaks (the well). Hey it happened to us too, only, it was electrical with the well.<br />Pray on the job situation.
