A Propped Up Life - And An Update

 

Psalm 54:4  New King James Version
Behold, God is my helper;
The Lord is with those who uphold my life.

Father, please uphold my life today. Sometimes it seems like it is burning down around me. Thank You for Your promise: You will help me!
 
We have a God who helps! How amazing is that?
 
We love You, Lord, and praise You for Your lovingkindness. Please help and uphold my friends today. Bless and protect.
 
In Jesus name, so be it, amen!

I got curious about what the word uphold meant in the Hebrew, so I looked it up. It means to "to prop, or sustain." I love it! When my best efforts fail, He props up my life and sustains me until I'm ready to try again.

I thought it was time to give another quick update to my readers ... In February I informed you the blog was going to go quiet while I worked with a writing coach to polish up my novel.

I ended by saying, "Just like the farmer gets all his equipment ready during the winter to go all-out with planting in the spring, the writer must also prepare her seed (her words) and her equipment (the vehicle for those words) to go all-out to release them into the world. 

The Journey will always be here - I'm very passionate about this little spot of mine in the cyber world. I'll be back to break up the fallow ground when the time is right."

I'm still preparing my seeds to be released. I'm having a wonderful time working with my writing coach, learning and growing as a writer.

But in the midst of all my fiction writing activities, I felt impressed to start writing prayers for my close friends in my bible study group that include scripture; because scripture will not return void. God will do something with it everytime it is sent out. (It might not be what I want, but it will accomplish what He wants.)

Then I felt led to take those same prayers (first taking out the personal parts) and share them both here and on my Instagram. Everyone needs to hear scripture-based prayer!

And that is what life looks like on my Journey right now.

Thanks for dropping by. It makes my day.
