I heard a radio announcer say today, "No traffic, this evening, and hopefully it will stay clear for you all for an uninterrupted drive home." Okay, so that's a reasonable well-wishing, but knowing that difficulty is necessary for growth...don't we want growth for each other too? I'd like to pick your brain about this more. So soon!Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08355240131556018274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6849616750998090319.post-70844484418458932202011-08-02T16:16:53.516-04:002011-08-02T16:16:53.516-04:00Notice that all of that came out of a moment of sh...Notice that all of that came out of a moment of shear panic, which underneath it all, is coming from a place of fear. You're feeling afraid that you missed out, afraid that the opportunities might not be there later, and afraid that YOU made choices to mess it all up. But nothing good in this life comes out of fear. And just because you feel afraid, doesn't mean the world (or God) has closed its doors. Opportunity to use your amazing gifts is not a one-stop shop in this life, friend. Opportunity extends itself over and over again, in beautiful and surprising ways, because...quite frankly... God is beautiful and surprising.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
