Sunday Morning Sunshine: Uncertainty


Life is strange, sometimes hard, sometimes uncertain, but we know we can face our fears and our questions by turning to God and his power. Today, here are some quotes that may give you a little encouragement.


Of all the liars in the world, sometimes, the worst are our own fears. ---Rudyard Kipling

We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties. --Oswald Chambers

Don't let today's disappointment cast a shadow on tomorrow's dreams. --Unknown

Darkness comes. In the middle of it, the future looks blank. The temptation to quit is huge. Don't!
You will argue with yourself that there is no way forward. But with God, nothing is impossible. He has more ropes and ladders and tunnels out of pits than you can conceive. Wait! Pray without ceasing. And hope! --Unknown


Don't give up! TRUST! BELIEVE! HOPE!

Serious Wednesdays: Passionate Wednesdays

Passionate Wednesdays

When I face the desolate impossibility of writing 500 pages, 
a sick sense of failure falls on me.



Me: (What a daunting task! 
Can I ever get it done?
I fear not . . .) 

I know I can never do it.
This happens every time.

Me: (Every single time.
Never fails but the haunting fear of failing hovers
like a bird of prey . . .
taunting,
teasing,
assuring me I'll never get it done!)


Then, gradually, I write one page . . .
Then another.
One day's work is all I can permit myself to contemplate,
and I eliminate the possibility of never finishing.

Me: (Smile)

--John Steinbeck
