I am running a workshop called 'Gifted for Service' over the next two Sundays and was thinking about a catching intro just this morning. God is so good! He used your post to spark an idea... Your analogy of God filling in the gaps is absolutely perfect! I hope you won't mind if I use the concept in connection to spiritual gifts (whichever they may be defined).

Sometimes I don’t quite know where I’m going in a storyline, but when I start writing it seems to miraculously come together. I certainly cannot contribute this to any genius of my own.

Our brain works in amazing ways. I went to a science museum, and it was hard to say what colour the writing was, not what the writing said.

You just have to show up, take the step, make some kind of move - and He takes care of the rest. He sees our faith in the small steps we take. Thanks for that. :)Amanda Deedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02430837640142332983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-59448802571802423542011-10-17T07:23:11.691+10:002011-10-17T07:23:11.691+10:00Hi Jackie,

It explains why, as authors, we need others to edit our own work too - because we automatically read over those 'gaps' filling in what isn't there and assuming it is.<br />I especially liked your analogy about faithfully showing up and faithfully trusting God to fill in the gaps. Can't help wondering what each of our personal logos might look like.<br />Blessings,<br />PaulaPaula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-91098590715225614562011-10-17T06:10:15.197+10:002011-10-17T06:10:15.197+10:00I like the clever analogies in this post!
