Good Morning!
God brings people into our lives, and causes situations occur that we may not understand.  But He does!  Praise Him! Visiting this past Sunday with a friend from church changed my mindset and, in a lot of ways changed me. I realized, although it may seem unrelated to the lunch and fellowship with our hostess, my heart was molded. The trees and the relaxed atmosphere of the visit calmed me and I was able to focus on what I need to do. I know that God is working, because my heart was at peace, and is still at peace as I move forward with my plans. Today I made the decision to continue my writing, which had come to a recent standstill. I decide today to move forward and not let discouraging thoughts and fear stop me in keeping with His perfect will. 
I have also reevaluated my priorities and goals. I will write more about this in the future. It is my hope and prayer that, if anyone reading this blog is fighting a similar battle with discouragement, they turn to God and He will show them the true path to follow.  Once shown this path, I pray we all stay on it, seeking constant guidance and encouragement to continue moving forward. 

Dear Heavenly Father,
I thank you for all the blessings in my life.  I ask for continued guidance and that You direct my path.  It is my desire to remain in Your will.  Help me to be faithful servant in my writing, that I may help others to lean on You for You  alone know what is best for us.  You are my Saviour and my Provider - in times of rejoicing and in times of need. Thank you for loving me, even when I stray - and for always welcoming me back home no matter the hour.
In Jesus' precious name, Amen.
