However, the last "big" project that the Lord had for me was completed in April 2012. Feeling somewhat at loose ends, I have taken the opportunity to do more independent Bible study--following His lead, rather than a formal study. The Lord has really blessed me in this, and I believe I am learning more about Him each day. It has been wonderful just to learn and study at His feet. I believe that is His purpose for me at this time. Who knows what tomorrow might bring--but for now I am continually blessed by the opportunity to know Him more. It can be very difficult to let go of the "doing," but He has a plan for each day of our lives here on earth and He will see us through--whatever the task.

I absolutely couldn't and had to step away from it. I went to bed and while falling asleep sentences started coming to my mind and I said to myself that I needed to get up and write them down or I would forget them. They were lovely words that I couldn't think of earlier or when I was falling asleep either. Well, I fell asleep w/out writing them down, but they were right before me when I went back to write the review. When I can't I am learning He can! He writes my reviews a lot! lol Thanks for the wonderful article and for the reminder, Carrie!Diana Flowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17127629740742628849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-38351115053213783292015-10-04T17:38:18.118-04:002015-10-04T17:38:18.118-04:00Thanks for sharing from the heart, Carrie.
