Many Years ago I felt God asking me to write. I got very excited. I love to write. I began planning what I thought God was leading me to do. A news letter for women, to nurture, grow, affirm and correct..My news letter began to unfold before my eyes..awesome articles..good information, humor, seriousness..it was all there...three months I worked on my tiny little computer....Finally I was satisfied...I couldn't wait to add my final thoughts, mailing information and print it....I turned my computer on..searched for my file...I couldn't find it...I checked other files...nothing..I looked in the trash..empty...I began to shake a little... I asked my Husband to come take a look....He searched...and then looked at me with this "Im so sorry" look..My shoulders dropped..I wanted to cry..my heart began to beat fast and I had to sit down....he said..he remembers emptying the trash...he saw the news letter but thought it was a copy....all my hard work..all my hours...all my research..gone...I tried to recreate the news letter several times...I had lost the heart for it...then about a year later I was reading scripture and Felt God asking.." now are you ready to do the news letter my way?"...I sat there a minute and thought about how God gave me a task...I took that task and ran with it..leaving God in the dust, and He let me...I did do a great job...the three months of work produced a very nice news letter...but it wasn't what God wanted me to do...so I resubmitted myself to what HE wanted and printed my first news letter...I prayed and asked God to lead me to the ones i should mail it to. 12 names...that was it....but I obeyed. about three weeks later I received a post card. A lady I sent the news letter to that I had known many years ago, but had not seen or talked with for several years wrote how that news letter was timely,she needed that in such a desperate way..and thanked me for sending it to her..she new only God could have done such a thing...I sat back in awe. Not in my work..but In Gods amazing-ness...only God could have done that...I wrote Praise Worthy News for several years...my mailing list went from 12 to over 100...the cost was great, but we pushed on...we moved and then slowly the news letter faded... I wrote less and less and less...mailed it less and less often until it was gone. I never felt good about it...I have tried to start again but never could get it going....so here I am...starting again...but in a blog form..smaller...more personable.....I hope as you read my blog you feel Gods presence...hear His voice and take what is written as a gift....from me to you...Blessings
