The back and forth pull between hoping to say yes, and yet wanting to know more first! ;) You, me - us - we are in good company but the best news of all is this: No matter what He is calling you to - He can be trusted! Love you, friend!

The story, the feelings, the uncertainty sums up where I am right now. A crossroads of an ending and a beginning, a desire for so much more but the fear that more will be BIG!

And then something small or big happens and inspires me again. Thanks for sharing what you learned from the conference.

I will move it towards the top of my stack and dig in to it in this season as well! My writing has always been faith filled because that is pretty much what I write about - everyday life, living out our faith... but there is a shift for sure and I think it has more to do with the living out than the writing down, but they always seem to overlap don't they? Thanks so much for stopping by June!

This happened to me last fall when I attended a Cleansing Stream Seminar which was the catalyst to more freedom in Him and I noticed my writing flows more freely. Am I on the right track? It must have been wonderful to attend a writer's conference.

I am with Susan..that part Hallelujah, ...Oh friend! I am with Susan..that part Hallelujah, part Holy Crap line got me giggling and laughing. Yet in the midst of the laughter, I know there is so much truth in those words. I get it my friend. I don't always know what God is up to but God always knows. That is the scary part isnt it. I think of Jacob wrestling with God. We all have had our own moments of wrestling with God too havent we? And um THESE WORDS "But here's the deal - we always only know in part. We are all still becoming... so we are all still learning who we are..." YES!!!!

How AMAZING it would be to meet this group, these amazing bloggers I already feel so close to through words...but to see them there in the flesh...that would be my Holy Crap moment! <br />I am reading this going..."Oh my goodness...God, what are you doing through her? Is it JUST beginning>" Literally...I feel through your words excitement, passion, freedom and a bright, clear vision. All I can say is THANK GOD I get to be along for the ride!!!!!

It's funny because it was not a heavy conference at all - and I didn't really notice or feel too much shifting at the time but now that I am home and maybe processing all that was said in relation to regular life and not just conference life - it's deeper... it's good, but it's stretching more than I anticipated! ;)~Karrilee~ from Abiding Love, Abounding Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06698176066735604032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24687432.post-79402536742633172492015-04-15T12:52:58.220-07:002015-04-15T12:52:58.220-07:00Amen!
