Thanks for stopping by.
Oh, I s...Hi, Elizabeth! <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by. <br /><br />Oh, I so agree ... Bethany Hamilton is another person who has used difficult experiences for good. I can imagine how powerful it was for you to participate that event where she spoke. She's been placed where she can be a huge influence. Pretty amazing. <br /><br />Love the pearl analogy. :-)Dawn Kinzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15889724810331740092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36819184.post-82202512879160975242015-07-18T08:49:02.868-07:002015-07-18T08:49:02.868-07:00Dawn, thank you for reminding us what's really...Dawn, thank you for reminding us what's really important in dark moments. You have a great heart and inspiring way of helping others. I loved seeing Bethany Hamilton, shark attack survivor, last year locally and watching THOUSANDS of young girls admire her, sitting at her feet, soaking in lessons from her and Sarah Hill, also an amazing story of resilience. It helps so much to look for the pearls that come from the trash (had to use gem analogy) like with an oyster. It helps us to look up when life wants us to keep looking down.

It sounds like you had to work through your feelings on this one and focus on the positive things you have going instead of your disappointment. Still, that's not always easy to do. Kudos to you for being able to accept where God has placed you for now. :-)Dawn Kinzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15889724810331740092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36819184.post-32891328531891740732015-07-17T14:00:37.963-07:002015-07-17T14:00:37.963-07:00I had the opportunity last week to get my old job ...I had the opportunity last week to get my old job back. Although we need the money and I loved my old job, at some point I had to realize that my family was right when they said that I just wasn't able to work full-time again. That hurt. But then I realized that if I were working again, then I wouldn't be writing. <br /><br />Although I lost the opportunity to connect with those at my old job, I have to remember the writers we connect with on Seriously Write and how we help them. For now, at least, that's my job.<br />Angie A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13487012722258208047noreply@blogger.com
