The key is, I would agree, inspiration.<br /><br />As writers of faith, we are admonished repeatedly through Scripture to seek the grace of all things we do, to do all through grace; to accomplish this, we must know our weakness, flaws, and the nature of our selves.<br /><br />But through this, we are inspired; one could say that is one facet of the grace that is found, that inspiration is a form of grace.<br /><br />If we find ourselves in a place where what we do, and who we become, don't lead to grace, our our actions become seperated from grace, hopefully we can admit to knowing that we are on the wrong path.<br /><br />As writers, isn't one of the best things about who we are and what we do that we can so readily recognize and acknowledge the source of our inspiration, our grace?<br /><br /><br /><br />Larrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-31409834243444463252013-02-21T13:22:48.029-05:002013-02-21T13:22:48.029-05:00Hi there just wanted to give уou a quick heaԁs up....Hi there just wanted to give уou a quick heaԁs up.<br />The tеxt in your aгticlе <br />seem to be running off the sсгeen in Safari.<br />I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I figured I'd post to let you knoω.<br />Thе design lοoκ grеat though!<br />Hoρe you get the problem ѕolved soοn.<br />Kudοѕ<br /><br />Feel free to surf to my ωeb blog; <a href="http://www.anglicanclub.com/index.php?do=/blog/3178/explaining-simple-advice-of-internet/" rel="nofollow">spiele spielen</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-82815591934739470372013-02-21T08:23:58.800-05:002013-02-21T08:23:58.800-05:00Donna, I feel the same about you.

You have been a wonderful inspiration to me this year, Jill. Meeting you at ACFW and seeing your love for writing and doing what God has put in your very skin to do has stuck with me over the months. Keep at it! Inspired people inspire people.

I don't know where I'd be without my friends to encourage and inspire me. I love hearing about how many of my friends got agents or book deals...so often, God is at the center of their success stories. I love that, because it reminds me that's where I want him in mine too. That inspires me.

And yes, I definitely have some go-to people who constantly inspire me...my parents, especially. And also, my fabulous CP. I love that even when I freak out over something as silly as a scene not going well, I can text or email Lindsay and know that she's not only praying for me, but will likely reply with something so encouraging...usually within minutes, even. :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17620457068731162013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-6389588917868400132013-02-20T09:19:41.733-05:002013-02-20T09:19:41.733-05:00You're always there for me, Wendy.

Dreary skies, cold, snow still on the ground" That's the doldrums speaking I'm sure. But on the upside, I am sticking to my goals for this year so far and for the first time in a long long time am meeting them. I'm moving swiftly through the 3rd course in my college semester after wanting to go to college for 20 years. I've got a set number of pages written down for each day in my planner for edits and I'm happy to say that the novella I started editing at the 1st of the year has only 15 pages to go and it's through round one of edits! My goal is to submit it by March and I'm on target.<br />I agree with everything you say! Definitely talk to the inspiring, positive friends and family. Weed out the naysayers and share as little with them as possible so they don't bring you down. I love your list of tools - I ran through it saying 'check!' several times. I have a 'novel track' I listen to during my editing of my novella, I have quotes on the white board over my desk, lots of books, magazines, chocolates and my cats.And even though my doubts surface here and there I try very hard to let them go in one ear and out the other. Here's to a terrific 2013 for us both!Christina Lorenzenhttp://www.christinalorenzen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8911314544674287828.post-52432501122609765362013-02-20T07:42:31.626-05:002013-02-20T07:42:31.626-05:00"I'm convinced worry and doubt keep us fr..."I'm convinced worry and doubt keep us from our goals. They are killers. We allow these insecurities to dig a grave for our most precious dreams."<br /><br />This is so good and true. I agree that you need to surround yourself with people who inspire and encourage. Someone very important to me once said, "Surround yourself with those who will celebrate you and your dream." There's too much negativity on my own, I don't need to add anymore people to help me out in that area! lol<br /><br />Inspiring post today! :) Jessica R.
