I had my main character care for his little sisters in my last novel...and a lost love in my WIP (altho she's still pining and whining; I may have to reconsider some of that!).

I get knots in my stomach thinking about losing a sense of security. It must be really hard to run for years, then finally get to the point where you feel safe enough to just settle down, and then realize that was the worst thing you could have done. Then to find out when you are in danger, the only person that could help you is dead. That must be terrifying. Who do you trust? How can you trust anyone? Where can you go for help? This story sounds like a page turner; I know I would not be able to put it down.

One t...Thank you for these words of encouragement. One thing I really took away from this blog post was praying for the button-pusher. It's hard to do sometimes, but I have come to realize the button pusher is a tool God is using to build my faith in Him. I don't really like it most of the time, but God knows what I can handle, so he gives me enough to really trust in Him. Just like working out physically, it hurts in the beginning, but once you get past all the pain, and keep working at it, the results are amazing. Never give up, and always trust in the Lord to see you through.Desiree`https://www.blogger.com/profile/02764213269973640949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8250490770785857887.post-44943096644779010302012-04-11T10:53:14.768-04:002012-04-11T10:53:14.768-04:00I am Lee Pirozzi - a mixed media artist - I just c...I am Lee Pirozzi - a mixed media artist - I just created a piece of art representing Scarlett o'Hara's spine to exhibit at the Charleston Old Jail exhibit this Sat.

I love how you said speak scripture. We sometimes don't realize how great out God is, and think he can't comfort us, and ease our anxious heart. For God did not give us a spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Tim 1:7.
