Coming to see God as my best friend was a big turning point for me, and it was when I started to really dive into my faith. ^_^<br /><br />Thank you! I hope spacing everything out will give me some room to breathe. I'll just throw myself into schoolwork for now, and then throw myself into writing...and then school again in fall, etc. Very excited to see what all happens!<br /><br />Those sound like great goals, especially since you have some time on your hands.

It's all about spurring each other on to good works, right? I find so much encouragement in sharing the journey with people. And right now, the college workload is a biggie, so it's been kind of a relief to NOT think about writing and such. (Though I do miss it!)<br /><br />I'm just a goals maniac and timelines motivate me!

It sounds great in theory, but so many of the days it's just a 'gotta do' thing which makes me sad.

It can be so easy to get overwhelmed and flooded by all the busy-ness of life, the universe, and everything, and forget what is best and most important. Like you said, even when reading my Bible is on my daily to-do list (because we read portions of it for school each day) it's not the same as really taking those words into my heart and building a relationship with Christ over them. Thank you for your honesty and for speaking directly to my heart with these words.<br /><br />Best of wishes with all your writing dreams and plans. We are hoping to get to Realm Makers, this year, too! Hope to see you there!!!!Jenellehttp://jenelleschmidt.comnoreply@blogger.com
