I am thinking about doing this myself... and I loved Psalm 37:4 - I am very familiar with the first part of it, but you rarely see the FULL verse, and it's so important. Thanks for visiting my blog and I will be visiting yours often now that I have discovered it!LittleWomen21https://www.blogger.com/profile/06091702178175691046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844605571269638041.post-86350981362942493402009-12-19T00:15:25.244-05:002009-12-19T00:15:25.244-05:00Peg, I hope it inspired you.

I never can keep them anyway! Now I just need to trust my list to the Keeper of my heart. That was a good observation, "one relies on us and the other relies on Him".Carla Gadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01793809172905144101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844605571269638041.post-2352901842701045872009-12-19T00:12:15.407-05:002009-12-19T00:12:15.407-05:00Dearest Edna, I do hope that your Christmas is fil...Dearest Edna, I do hope that your Christmas is filled with the special joy this year that comes with having your family together.

I guess no matter where we are in life we need to keep trusting, and maybe even more so when we see some of our dreams fulfilled. <br /><br />I wish we could all jump in a virtual hot tub and have a nice chat, but blogging will have to do.Carla Gadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01793809172905144101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844605571269638041.post-25285780729339835242009-12-18T20:53:53.094-05:002009-12-18T20:53:53.094-05:00I like the prayer list instead of the New Year'...I like the prayer list instead of the New Year's Resolution/goals.

Your pictures are beautiful!<br />I could go for some chilly weather and a hot tub:) Glad we get to enjoy it vicariously through you!Laura Frantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067252948999879024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844605571269638041.post-38549568285231968602009-12-18T14:05:31.168-05:002009-12-18T14:05:31.168-05:00"we should trust him to listen to our words a..."we should trust him to listen to our words as well as our hearts." Indeed, jdcoughlin!<br /><br />Yes, Kristen! That passage is absolutely wonderful. Thank you for sharing it here. I think I may just have to go back and add that in!<br /><br />Eileen, I'm glad the post spoke to you. For all of us writers that is so important. Imagine if we could fully trust Him to fulfill HIS plans for our writing this year? I'd like to truly learn to delight in Him and see what He has in store. That would take so much anxiety out of goal of becoming published. The answer to finding the balance between striving and resting in Him is TRUST. Oh, that I could really learn that.Carla Gadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01793809172905144101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844605571269638041.post-65964704927609638722009-12-18T13:23:44.072-05:002009-12-18T13:23:44.072-05:00Wow, I love this post!
