I appreciate your encouragment very much. God used you and your writing today in my life...it's not winning a contest, but hopefully that brings a joy that runs even deeper!

And whatever you're going through with your writing, be encouraged-- don't give up. This week was a bit of a bummer for me as I didn't final in a contest I REALLY wanted to final in. But you know what? I reminded myself of what Robin said in her workshop-- "Only YOU can write your story." Isn't that true, and such a beautiful thought? Anyway, it's great to have you at the Alley! Hope to see you back soon! :)Ashley Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15448862585766728595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392393277880937685.post-38619457877268104802014-06-20T06:06:01.630-07:002014-06-20T06:06:01.630-07:00I just stumbled upon this blog for the very first ...I just stumbled upon this blog for the very first time this morning and God used you to speak to me. Psalm 51:10 is sort of my life verse and for it to be used in this blog, related to my exact struggles with writing is just...well, incredibly like MY GOD. Thanks for being an encouragement to me this morning.Bree Combshttp://www.breecombs.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392393277880937685.post-74962851779748581682014-06-19T16:36:52.664-07:002014-06-19T16:36:52.664-07:00Aw, thank you, Sue!

The longer we let it go, the stronger an influence it has on our writing and our lives. <br /><br />Your clean glass of water visual is perfect. That's what I want my heart to be.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this today!
