Literally over-anxious that I'm not writing, not producing. But now I know that this stillness has good purpose. I've stopped worrying and started praying. And trusting, and living the season. :-) Rose Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00916783669139743112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-18312805849642943852017-06-03T09:48:52.080+10:002017-06-03T09:48:52.080+10:00I do believe at times we consider our work to have...I do believe at times we consider our work to have low impacts. But I've come to realize it's not just our work impacting others, it's the impact our work has on us. Our growth is part of that big picture too. :-)Rose Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00916783669139743112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-51766102961428777162017-06-03T09:46:54.859+10:002017-06-03T09:46:54.859+10:00Hi Jo.

God has been speaking to me about being faithful in my creative endeavours - and to trust that he will take them and use them. He can see the big picture- I can't - just like your bubbler crabs.

I too have been reflecting of late that often we don't see the big picture of our lives or our writing. Only God does. Won't it be wonderful when He shows us the effects of our writing when we come face to face with Him? It's only in eternity that we will see the real impact our faithfulness to His call has brought. Oh, may we be faithful. Thanks for showing us a grand perspective and a hopeful one.Anusha Atukoralahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859837228901127984noreply@blogger.com
