We definitely need patience as we embark on our writing journey and wait on the Lord's perfect timing.

How true that is. <br /><br />I enjoy writing and so far, rejections are the only painful part. I will just keep on writing and hoping and praying that He opens the right door at the right time.<br /><br />Hazel BarkerHazel's bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15130890759088634619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-42744394956247469652013-09-27T09:33:21.525+10:002013-09-27T09:33:21.525+10:00What's that common saying "Life is a jour...What's that common saying "Life is a journey, not a destination."? It is one of the benefits of ageing, we learn to better appreciate the essence of the journey both in our walk with the Lord and in our writing.<br /><br />Beautiful post, Dale. May all our writing bloom like your jacaranda will do soon.

Paul sure had lots more reasons to turn back and decide it was all too hard than we ever do in our writing journey. I haven't yet been flogged or stoned or attacked by bandits or shipwrecked and lots of other bad things because of my books, a la Paul's long list in 2 Cor 11! Thanks for the encouragement to keep going and keep trusting.Jo-Anne Berthelsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09775045057529728396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-515660504291275491.post-4467098659199038662013-09-27T08:35:03.438+10:002013-09-27T08:35:03.438+10:00Thanks for your post, Dale.

I love that you've focused on the similarities between writing and the Christian journey because they are so intertwined for me and I'm sure for others. The wrestling is not only with producing the best writing we can but always with following the path God has for us. So important for us not to lose that focus. God bless in your continuing journey.
