Thanks to Bobbi, I was directed to your post, and am deeply blessed by it. I am so grateful that I was used to help you find your "cubby hole." You are right, that lesson was not the forefront of my message, but that is what makes living for the Lord so beautiful. We just need to show up where He calls us to--whether it be in front of our computer or away from it at rest--and He will do the work in His way and in His time.<br />I pray for this to be a beautiful season of restoration for you! <br />Many blessings my dear sister in Christ.Melanie Fischerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13754554728132666271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-30677070607372718052015-10-17T15:21:49.863-07:002015-10-17T15:21:49.863-07:00Oh Tammy,

If you are feeling like stopping - stop - there is no "have to" with God unless He tells you. Obviously He was telling you to take a break. I loved meeting you face to face and I was very glad that you pushed past the "I don't wanna go" and went. I was blessed.<br />Blessings,<br />JanisJanis Coxhttp://www.janiscox.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-22600792491411120942015-10-15T11:17:49.776-07:002015-10-15T11:17:49.776-07:00I've been there, Tammy...in that pit where I f...I've been there, Tammy...in that pit where I felt like the whole writing world was looking down at me, chastising me for not writing. But in the end I realized that I was the biggest chastiser of all--that I was placing guilt on myself (and listening to the enemy in the process). Then God brought two powerful books to my attention to help me realize that He is not and never was the one chastising or judging...but that HE loves me, He LOVES me, He loves ME! The two books: Crazy Love by Francis Chan and The Furious Longing of God by Brennan Manning. And one of my favourite verses, perhaps my favourite is Song of Solomon 7:10: "I am my Beloved's and His desire is for me." (NASB) Thanks for sharing your heart. Releasing it is part of the healing. And it was so good to meet you at conference.Connie Mae Inglishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988103819012472275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-39419188113094735282015-10-14T07:01:50.712-07:002015-10-14T07:01:50.712-07:00Oh Bobbi, stretching is always interesting.

He is working through what you have already written and through what you are learning when you let God lead. <br /><br />In spite of a strange Thanksgiving, perhaps you can look at your new revelation about your need and your privilege to take a break from writing. I enjoyed meeting you in person too. Tammy. May God bless and continue to guide you.<br />Sharon Espesethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13013272853384312117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37258556.post-38862669615661588742015-10-14T06:54:39.534-07:002015-10-14T06:54:39.534-07:00So true Marnie.

Once I accepted that, I realized I could settle into a season that stretched me (translated - didn't like!), knowing it was only for a time. I, too, am in a non-writing season. The Lord showed me this isn't lost time, though. Instead, he has me digging into scripture. Preparation for something? I don't know. But it feels positive when I think of it this way, and not negative. Maybe the challenge is to accept the Lord having us step away from something so we can ask him what it is he's primed us to do right now.

Not something you would expect. Glad to hear no one was hurt badly. It is very difficult to write when your heart is not in it. Where do the words come from then? I love the line, "God had a different place for me." By recognizing this you were able to relieve the guilt and confirm that you will write again. You're already thinking about Nanowrimo! Enjoy the rest. Vickie Stamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04078923845655016294noreply@blogger.com
