Inspiration???

Have you ever felt as though you were prompted to do something, something big, something that maybe you didn't want to do?

And then, when you get to the point where you feel like you can follow that prompting you pray about it, and for strength, etc., and then it seems as if the prompting has fizzled a bit and isn't as strong as it was before so you're left wondering what you should do?

Have you ever had this happen to you?

So then, you keep praying about it, and you don't get "a stupor of thought" but you don't feel that confirmation that you're seeking either and you don't know which choice to make.

Am I alone here? Has this ever happened to you when you have a deadline?

Please tell me I'm not the only one that has ever experienced this. I know I must "wait patiently on the Lord", but, well, patience isn't really one of my strengths. And, I have a deadline.

So, I guess I'll just keep being patient and the deadline may come and go....but really, what other choice do I have?

Sorry, folks. Just needed to blow off a little spiritual steam here.

I don't think you're alone, especially if it's something you're not 100% keen on anyway. Hope that you receive your prompting (either way) before the deadline.

I think sometimes the lord is teaching us. I have had promptings that were so strong but changed with time. Sometimes with some things there is no right answere so there is no strong feeling either way. good luck and I hope it works out.

hrrrrm, I think it's best to just push the deadline if it's that important.. that's right, who just scored an "I read my wife's blog" brownie point.

Does Brent have a blog of his own? Good luck with your decision. I personally think that I ignore my promptings too easily and I never seem to learn to just quiet down and really listen. Patience is not my strong point either.

oh girl.. yes, yes, yes and yes... And quite frankly I seem to be on a roll with having "muddled" feelings and thoughts. It is a bit frustrating isn't it? I wish I could help you with a way to get the loud and clears.
Hey, Maybe you should go with your first strong feeling towards your question??!!
Okay... I don't really know.

Tami. I really know that feeling.
I'm stuck waiting for an answer. I pray every night for what I hope to happen...and yet I know I'm not meant to know. I just have to wait and see.
But I don't have a deadline...which makes it either good or bad.

But I do agree with Brent. Sometimes deadlines have to be pushed to make things work. All things work out in the end though.

I hear you. It seems that some answers change as time goes on. Who knows what circumstances may have happened in the lives of others that may have been affected by that initial decision. I hope that you are able to receive confirmation one way or the other. At least you know we are all here for you.

GiveAway!!

I'm doing this giveaway just for fun. I'm not trying to sell or promote anything. I'm on an apron kick lately. I've come across so many cute ideas and I decided to make some of them. A week or so ago my good friend Liz mentioned she'd won an apron in a giveaway somewhere else. Thats where my "inspiration" comes from. I'm just a big copycat, but at least I admit to it. Here is the giveaway item: Please keep in mind that I made this, it did not come from a store so if you become the owner there will be no tags. I consider it to be a one-size-fits-all due to the fact that the ties are extra long. Here are the details: *Contest begins at 7am (Mountain Standard time) Thursday, November 12. It will end Sunday, November 15 at 8pm (same timezone). Winner(s) will be posted at my convenience on Monday. *Anyone living in the continental U.S., Canada, including PEI, or Mexico can enter this giveaway. It doesn't matter if you and I are friend or foe. You don...

Bogger Messed Up My Give Away

Image
Blogger did some maintenance work this past week and during that time a lot of people had a lot of problems with their blogs. Posts disappeared, page layouts were rearranged, comments lost, etc. Sadly, my blog was one that got messed up. Half of the entries to my baby shoe give away are gone and although Blogger says they'll be recovered, that has yet to happen and I don't know how long it will take. So, in order to make this give away fair, I think we need to start over. Sorry, I don't know what else to do. Contest will end Tuesday, May 17 at noon (Utah time). Here are the details and the rules (again!): (Note: If you posted about this give away on your blog last week, you don't have to re-post, just leave a comment saying you already posted.) Here are the shoes. I'm not much of a photographer, but the shoes are brown with light pink ribbon. They are a size extra small. They should fit a foot up to 4 inches in length. Maya is 5 1/2 months old and this size fits her...
