I believe I need to make sure--Mon-Fri---God is speaking and not Lulu--think that is all I am trying to say. <br /><br />Bless You, Friend!luluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11520683067915486215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5416556583423635558.post-71158689918643354482014-11-21T17:52:27.721-06:002014-11-21T17:52:27.721-06:00This is an honest post - yet again.

You have a right to be here and you need not please anyone or seek approval from anyone. If someone does not like you, or does not like what you say or write, that is their problem not yours. It probably says more about them than it says about you.<br /><br />Everyone of God's creatures is precious, and we need no one's approval except His. There are no rejects off His production line.<br /><br />I would also recommend that you stick to a schedule of writing regularly, every day even. Even when you have nothing to say; so that you don't get out of the habit of writing. Yours is a Blog which shines a little hope in a world of darkness. If you slow down on your writing you are most likely to stop altogether.<br /><br />When you have nothing to say; just say so. "Nothing to say today. Hope you're all well out there. How's your weather?" <br /><br />See - it's simple.<br /><br />Extra prayers for you today.<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5416556583423635558.post-14481254250275287722014-11-21T17:37:10.797-06:002014-11-21T17:37:10.797-06:00We are all works in progress striving to learn fro...We are all works in progress striving to learn from the perfect example. I still have my days--but I know how far He has brought me and am so thankful. One of the things I learned---do not be so hard on yourself. So my advice to you--do not be so hard on yourself.

I believe our trials are God's way of making us more sympathetic and empathetic to those around us who are going thru the same difficulties. You are growing in His Grace. I am still struggling with who I am in the sight of God and man. The picture you painted is me. You are loved and a true friend.

I am thankful for your faithful prayers and support during those days and allowing Him to use you to minister to me.

There is such a stiring of His peoples hearts by His Spirit, now as I've never seen before. So many believers around the world are patiently anticipating His next move in their lives and stepping when He says step. Watching things come together which can only be explained as His direction. It has been a joy watching Him work in your life and looking to what comes next. As you said follow Him.

As a recovering people pleaser myself, you put words to many of my own long-term struggles WITH and misguided "solutions" TO the question of "identity." It's exhausting to live that way, isn't it? I'm glad you are seeing the truth that you are a FRIEND.

And I'm guessing that this endless need for affirmation, approval, and strokes is rampant in this social media culture. I fight it, I pray over it, I aim to write for His approval and not the applause of the tribe.<br /><br />Hard stuff this is.<br /><br />Yep, throw the writing schedule out the window and write when He puts something on your heart. It's bound to be rich and creative and deep ... for that's who He is.<br /><br />Love to you, friend ...Linda Stollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15568264417855502332noreply@blogger.com
