Sometimes My Ugly Side Shows

Everyday faith

There are days when I look around at what’s going on in this new smaller world of online community and my eyes well up with tears. The groups that are forming, the opportunities shared, the excitement of a new venture. The tears? They’re not because it’s so beautiful, though it is that. Not because God is moving and doing great things, though He is.

It’s because I look around and wonder “why NOT me?”

I’m over at Allume today sharing how God walked me through a season of envy as a writer. Join me?

    Lorretta I love that you commented here 🙂 I’m honestly not sure I consider myself very far along in the writing journey (I have too many words to keep inside & a God who graciously gives me a platform to share them!). Thanks for being brave & leaving the “wall” for a moment…see how easy it was? You’re pretty awesome at it 🙂
