Like work on book 2 in one series so that a different one will get picked up. Or really get into a writing project so I'll get a job.

Maybe we should all share magazines!<br /><br />Waiting for answers to prayer, waiting for tough seasons to pass, waiting on health stuff...and writing, of course. <br /><br />God's timing is always so much better than ours.

Plans mean nothing because things change so fast. I tend to think not about what I'm waiting for but what I have yet to do. Once I've accomplished the task, I tend to forget about it so I can be surprised.<br /><br />Of course this doesn't work for a job that &#Debra E.
