I'm lifting you in my prayer, my brother and fellow scribe. Darcie, sorry to not respond sooner but wanted you to know I'd like to encourage you! We're all in that hippo phase, one time or other. Keep writing! Danielle, thanks for that. You're so right--we need to take that first step out of the mud. Great word picture. Angie, thank YOU for posting encouragements and sharing your heart. So appreciated! Diane, so thankful for your post. Together we can check our zones:-) And wow, I'm so grateful for your prayers. We were definitely thrown outta-de-zone lately:-) Hal, thanks for the comment and visit. I’m lifting you in my prayer, my brother and fellow scribe.

Like you, I have been thrown out of my comfort zone with unexpected twists and turns. Somehow, this tossing about is more manageable than intentionally and purposefully stepping out of my comfort zone. Still, I do believe that nothing is more painful than not being in the place that God intends us to be. So it is worth the purposeful effort--thanks for the reminder. I will be taking a closer look at my 'zone' today. Hope you and your family are doing well. Been praying for your husbands quick and complete recovery...talk about being thrown out of your comfort zone...you have been through quite an ordeal. So glad that things are going better. Diane Vicki,

I have been such a hippo...I am thankful that at an altar...a few years ago....the Lord renewed my purpose...Thanks for being a vessel of the Lord in your writing. God bless you!
