Thank you so much to all of those who responded to my post about feeling a bit blocked in my writing flow due to various frustrations. Your encouragement meant so much to me. I also sensed your prayers and have felt much like a dam has broken up within me. I've sensed a breakthrough in my own spiritual life and have been experiencing a freshness in my time in the Word and prayer. I've been able to complete four writing projects that I had deadlines for as well. Blessed be the Lord, and God's blessings to all those who encouraged me to keep writing and who took time to pray for me. Thank you so very much!

Since 2009 I've been counting my blessings thanks to the prompting of Ann Voskamp.
I continue to count my thanks
piling up gratitude day by day
in my journal.
(and capturing some of my blessings via my camera or iPhone)

Such a beautiful post about the goodness of God. Praying for you, dear friend, as you travel many miles to minister - and be ministered to.

Yay! So encouraging to hear of your "breakthroughs" and God's faithfulness to you personally. ♥
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear, friend!
ReplyDeleteThe book of James is my favorite. Writer's block....I hear it can be a beast. So glad you are through that and feeling refreshed. It's always a good thing to stop and think about what we have to be grateful for. I tend to write things down too. It's interesting to go back and read them years later and see how God works in our life.
