Congratulations on exceeding your word counts!<BR/><BR/>Even when I'm not writing as much as I should, the ideas are still flowing if I'm in the Word. Now, I have to discipline myself to sit down and write. <BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>Susan :)Susan J.

I set a goal for myself to write 300 words a day in 2009. This afternoon and tonight I went almost 4 times that amount. One night last week I did twice that amount. Yes, I spent a lengthy time in devotions this morning. And that day last week.quietspirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086016141181470311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252285009517721143.post-23817926274193301562009-01-05T21:00:00.000-05:002009-01-05T21:00:00.000-05:00Hi Sarah -When I'm too busy, too tired, too sick t...Hi Sarah -<BR/><BR/>When I'm too busy, too tired, too sick to spend time with the Lord, I'm just plain too busy. I find that when I make Him my priority, He multiplies my time - weird as that may sound. I get more done.<BR/><BR/>I think we all need a reminder from time to time. I'm back on track now, and the ideas are once again flowing.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>Susan :)Susan J.

When I'm not walking with Him like I should be, it seems the words disappear right along with my enthusiasm for Christ. <BR/><BR/>It makes perfect sense that this would happen. The Lord gives us gifts to use for His glory, but why would He waste His blessings on me when I'm not living entirely for Him?<BR/><BR/>Thanks Susan. I needed that.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15982825577207265863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2252285009517721143.post-80794724371100868202009-01-05T08:55:00.000-05:002009-01-05T08:55:00.000-05:00Hi Jessica -Good point.

If we're not filled with God's Word, something else will jump into that void.<BR/><BR/>I'm taking Mom to the doctor today for a check-up. We're both better, but not 100%. I took the last of the antibiotics today. Thanks for your prayers.<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>Susan :)Susan J.

We get empty without Him and if we're not careful, we'll fill our cupboards with junk.<BR/>I hope this cold clears up soon!Jessica Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12365768876905444157noreply@blogger.com
