Like you, in the past I have tended to give up on a project if it takes too much time. But as I am getting ready to embark upon an attempt at writing a novel, I have to remind myself that it won't happen overnight.<br /><br />Thanks for linking up today!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />JoanJoan Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16430939897829160498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966292221486788658.post-9246511832607441082011-12-15T17:17:19.798-08:002011-12-15T17:17:19.798-08:00When I was little, after my parents divorce, I wis...When I was little, after my parents divorce, I wished everything was a dream I would wake up from. I remember days where I wished I could magically make my life change, too. But I have learned as I raised children, that, like you said, change takes time - sometimes a lifetime - and I have to find joy in the journey. So much truth in your post!

And thank you for sharing so openly as it helps others (me) to remember that transformation and the ability to move forward (after a detour in life) takes time, healing needs to occur and yes the foundation needs to stronger. I cannot tell you how many times frustration has taken hold and during those times, I "want" it all to be better. But God knows that I "need" to feel each moment experience each step to heal strongly. HE gives me the strength and shows me when steps in healing are not missed the foundation gets stronger! Giving back to others is one of the best ways to keep a foundation firm.<br /><br />Wishing you peaceful Thursday..xo HHLhighheeledlifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07205935979513877589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966292221486788658.post-73318615265247652902011-12-15T12:13:46.528-08:002011-12-15T12:13:46.528-08:00Oh, waiting.

I used to be impatient but now, I'm so grateful for it, because I know that God gives it so we can either choose to avoid the past mistakes we had done to become a better person and that as we wait, it strengthens us and it changes us to truly value the things that have far more worth than the material things. You are not like Oprah or Anne Frank. You are "you" courageous and transformed by His grace. Your daughter is so right that you "shine".

Before this, the one where you talk about people and even things being what they were designed to be (even a skunk) was my favorite.<br /><br />But THIS is now it.<br /><br />You couldn't have known when you wrote this that the praise for a single step toward something for which I have been praying and waiting (and yes, even grumbling) was on my lips during my morning prayer. <br /><br />Thanks for being God's voice this morning. You rock.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05671482394424988047noreply@blogger.com
