		<description>Trina: Hope something here encourages your faith walk as well. Blessings on your writing endeavors. 

Ann: That's awesome about the verse. Thanks for sharing with me. It's sweet to know how the Lord continually works in our hearts--even to bring encouragement to both of us through something like this. {{Hugs}}

Suzanne: Appreciate your words--thanks. Yep, giving birth to barbed wire sounds like a good description of the process:-) Thankful that God gets us through. Thanks for stopping by!

Melissa: Yep, I have days like that too. Today the A/C quit working--actually, yesterday. I'm literally sweating bullets:-)</description>

		<description>Writing is definitely hard work. There are days when I write a few sentences and get up from the computer to walk around, other days the writing is flowing so well that I don't even think of taking a break.</description>

		<description>You are exactly right. My last book felt like I was giving birth to barbed wire. : ) It was a difficult topic on a topic that I needed to share, but had to do in the right way. 

That's why it is so cool to hang out with other writers. We know both the joy, privilege, and responsibility that goes with writing every single day.</description>

		<description>Vicki...
Have I told you today how you are used of Him in my life??!
I am working on a project.  I WANT to give up.  The quote you chose today cut me to the quick... and then to ponder "Why do I write? What do I sense He wants to accomplish through my writing?"--I am considering another writing endeavor, and those are the questions I have been mulling over all day.  

But the verse, it was the verse at the end.  It is framed here, hanging on the wall over the computer.  It is ALL of Him to establish this work, to make it worthwhile...we are channels only.  Use us, Master.

My sincere gratitude, Vicki,
Ann V.</description>

		<description>Thank-you for stopping by 'for HIS glory' and for leaving a comment. I am new to blogging so there isn't much content yet but as time goes by my blog shall grow!

Thank-you as well for leaving the url to your site. I'm still looking around and having fun while doing so.

It's been a real blessing to be linked to other Christian women.

In Christ,
Trina</description>
