Thank you. Several people this week have tipped me off that one of the most powerful things one can do during difficult times--and all times, really--is to keep praising our Father. So true!<br /><br />Hope to see you again.Elaine Stockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349776598113016833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009438219696051817.post-22505566802120403772014-07-18T18:51:29.707-07:002014-07-18T18:51:29.707-07:00Greats tips Paulette.

My family and I were going thru some trying times. And you say to yourself, when will this all end,. I know that life in not a picnic, but it seems like when hard times comes, it<br /> comes in like a flood. No matter who you talk too, there comes a time when we have to seek our peace the best way we can. I have found that I just start praising the Lord for all the wonderful things I have been blessed with, my family. I thanked the Lord for all those wonderful years I had with mom and dad. They gave and taught me the values of life. I just have asked the Lord to place a peace and a joy on the inside. 'god has done it for me. Yes, there are times when I cry because I do miss my parents. So, I have sat down and asked myself, what do I have a passion for. It was music and writing. So, I took a couple of classes and boy did I have fun. I met young and elderly people that decided to further their dreams in life. You see, I want to show my grandkids and children that we can pursue anything we want to in our lives. So, treat yourself to a nice massage, pedicure, go buy yourself and new outfit. Take a trip, Volunteer, do something that makes you smile. I hope and pray that I have said words of encouragement. Thank you Catalina<br />(Chattyzoe@mail.com)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009438219696051817.post-32941090118599143412014-07-18T13:34:44.485-07:002014-07-18T13:34:44.485-07:00Heartfelt thanks & appreciation, Paulette, for...Heartfelt thanks & appreciation, Paulette, for guesting on Everyone's Story this past week.

Karen I do understand how life can pull us from what we are accustomed doing. In spite of life and all the ups and downs, we must find our way back to that brings us some since of comfort and purpose. Our writing no matter what season we find ourselves, it that which God uses to pull out words of encouragement and inspiration. Write on and allow the Holy Spirit to craft words out of your pain and to be a blessing to others.

Do check back later or possibly tomorrow for Paulette's reply.<br /><br />I love how God words! Always awesome, always amazing, always right-on timing… though it's us humans who get tangled up demanding our own timeline. What I'm getting to is this--here He is, bringing you here. He's planted Paulette's encouragement about writing in your heart. I may hear a bit if angst mixed with wonder, yet Karen, I hear hope in your words as well. And honesty, with yourself and being accountable to others. And that my friend, encourages many others. God is indeed using you to reach others.Elaine Stockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349776598113016833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009438219696051817.post-10657834449903278062014-07-11T17:31:55.134-07:002014-07-11T17:31:55.134-07:00Thanks for sharing your Friday evening with us, Pa...Thanks for sharing your Friday evening with us, Pat.

Perhaps that is backwards, but it was the process I was determined to follow. I used an example of a man and woman in a grocery store. And then read this. Eavesdropping was what I suggested, so I was sort of on the same page as these seven ideas for inspiration. :) I have been very bad about finding something to blog about. Life has taken me for a ride lately. I have fought to get control of things. My father's death last November, his sister's death a couple months later, and the death of a close friend has kept me spinning in circles, trying to decide where I need to be. Do I write? No Mom needs me. Do I clean house? No I have my father's paintings stacked everywhere. Do I run away. No, that's not an option. But now my mother is doing good on her own, and I need to focus in on what keeps pulling me back--urging me to write down the stories in my head. God gave me the desire for some reason. I pray he can use what is produced.
