We want publication now. We want recognition now. We want our efforts to be rewarded. Now. But sometimes we have to be patient, and “…stand and see this great thing, which the Lord will do before your eyes.” Stand still, and wait on the Lord, but while you’re waiting, write!<br /><br />That's what Samuel says. "Stand and SEE."<br /><br />Wow.<br /><br />That's not to say that we just sit down and wait. I'm a firm believer in giving the Lord the best of our efforts, but some things are out of our control. When we've done all that we can do, that's when preparation, patience, position, and prayer come in.

I'm not sure if it would be considered a traditional concordance, but I enjoy it.<br /><br />For instance, there are about 15-20 references to insomnia.

I am so used to sleepless nights I don't even worry about them any more. It's just the way I am and I'm okay with that.<br /><br />Of course every day you hear a new story about 8 hours of sleep. Less sleep makes you fat. Less sleep makes you die younger.<br /><br />So now, when I lay awake (lie awake? Grammar Queen alert!) I have fatness and death to fret about along with my other routine stuff.Mary Connealyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09598386111251769803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27827480.post-19606379385455268282013-01-21T09:06:19.418-06:002013-01-21T09:06:19.418-06:00I've been wanting a new study Bible and I even...I've been wanting a new study Bible and I even had one in my hands the other day. The NIV Study Bible from Zondervan. But then I found out the new version has taken pains to be gender neutral. In the examples I've seen I don't think it hurts a thing. But It made me waffle and keep looking.

I've made several impulse purchases there and 'Where to find it' was one of them. <br /><br />I've had it 4-5 years, and it has been a blessing. I'm on rotation to offer a devotion at my church periodically, and this book is my go-to resource for topics.<br /><br />But when I went to the <b>P's</b> and started studying all the words just in that section alone that could be applied to the writing life, I was amazed.Pam Hillmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08604636348596615139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27827480.post-7673671454868306122013-01-21T08:37:47.556-06:002013-01-21T08:37:47.556-06:00Dora, sleep is overrated!

That's what DI Master Sargent Tina Radcliffe tells the Seekers when she routes us out of our bunks at 0300. <br /><br />Then we have to ride mountain bikes with Sandra Leesmith until daylight. Then Myra Johnson makes us swim laps <i>forever</i>! <br /><br />And you don't want to know what Ruthy makes us do!!!<br /><br />Being a Seeker is <i>hard</i> work! lol<br /><br />I hate to say it, but the "P" list really gives me pause.
