A lot of writers use words to process difficult events and bring healing. And I love how God teaches us and shapes our character through the process of writing. <br /><br />You've done great on the challenge - circumstances can throw everything out, but tomorrow is a new day! From one fellow perfectionist to another, I'd say, don't give up if you can't do it perfectly. Just do the best you can and keep on going.

I hoped that would be the case. Our ideas don't seem so silly when we realise that other people are thinking the same things. And WELL DONE YOU on the challenge! Way to go, Jeanne!!!

It really helps my mood and sometimes helps me deal with spiritual and emotional issues in my life, so I feel like it is a tool God is using for my sanctification.<br /><br />As for my habit of making time to homeschool my son, last week I did pretty good. This week not so good. I haven't homeschooled Noah much this week and Liz its just been intermittent assignments. I've been feeling very exhausted hanging around the hospital.Julia M.

They validate some of my own, which I've been nervous about putting words to. :) Your #8 spoke to me--I've dreamed of writing for years, but only began pursuing it a few years ago. I AM the only one who can write the stories God has given me. Nuff said.

It really is a challenge! I wish I could say I stuck to it everyday so far, but I have slacked a little. I am not going to give up though; I am going to try a little harder this next week. <br /><br />Thanks again for posting such an encouraging message today!Charity Schilbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806775667927349050noreply@blogger.com
