By having these feelings you searched out the answers in the bible and found them to share with everyone here. By sharing here you are helping so many in how to deal with the ups and downs they may experience. This is a wonderful blog. Let go and trust, there is a purpose.

We need to keep trusting that He knows what He's doing because He certainly does, and in time it will all make sense. I have found that to be so true in my life. <br />Blessings,<br />CharlotteCharlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12533075034458645148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-36221954104508970362012-12-08T13:14:47.267-08:002012-12-08T13:14:47.267-08:00My dearest "shelved" Sharon ... Never! Y...My dearest "shelved" Sharon ... Never! You have too much of an excellence in sharing "God" or anything through writing to be shelved. I love how Debbie wrote and agree with each person who claim this as ONE of YOUR CLASSIC ALL TIME BEST!<br /><br />See what sitting on a shelf does... those creative juices were just urking to flow and WOW did they ever. I have many shelved books that I return to over and over again as my favorites. You have that same quality! I love how you spoke to these Biblical characters like friends (us)... but with Jesus, the best!<br /><br />"Teach me that all that matters is that I am a woman after Your own heart." like David we both long for this ... yet in this time of waiting, there is preparation going on, perhaps just to REST in Him is all we really need. He loves to<br />show up in the weakest and the least, and bring forth His glory! Your writing in this one is well worth a series of you speaking with Biblical characters for the answers we search for from His Word! <br /><br />Brrring! Brrring!<br />Hello Sharon ... this is Peggy! My how I have missed you! and just as much I have missed your writing! <br /><br />Come sit on my couch and let's talk!<br /><br />I'll be waiting! You are such a delight! I am so blessed by your writing! I am reaching for the shelf for the best book ever: HIS STORY and your extra edition of humor and practical, insightful writing is the next one that I will pick up, whether it's a Bible Pick'ems or Sharon Sharing God! You are part of His Story in a big way... on the shelf, in your new place, you are a voice and one of the greatest treasures. You are being used in a special way with someone very dear and close. This is the highest calling, for the time is short and the finish is well worth your ministry for an eternity, not a season! Your voice is also in your action and your heart! You flow from His and He flows through you... of this, I'm sure you know for sure...the BEST ministry is yet to come. Part of the reason for the recent move!<br /><br />I'm praying and believing for you and with you!<br />Love (((hugs)))<br />Peggy<br />(it's been a while so you'll have to forgive me for the book long comment)<br />Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07178137619890142365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-72529721733545868932012-12-08T11:26:15.378-08:002012-12-08T11:26:15.378-08:00Excellent post.

Divorce changed everything 10 years ago. However, I have found that my life still touches others in some way. Maybe it's a rambling blog or just an encouraging word to another in need. <br /><br />Transitions can be tough. All the best to you and yours.Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358977156569393289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-89647219558097035702012-12-07T05:10:46.845-08:002012-12-07T05:10:46.845-08:00"It's OK.

I know only to we'll that feeling of having been left behind or forgotten. But those are whispers from the enemy! Keep the right perspective--your eyes are on The Lord. He is preparing you for His Time. So glad to hear from you, and happy that my post encouraged you.<br />Blessings, JanisJanis Van Keurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07291628430833626275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-44247437306186521912012-12-05T03:34:44.658-08:002012-12-05T03:34:44.658-08:00Welcome back, Verbosia.

I could have expressed every thought myself. <br /><br />While we're sitting on that shelf.

When I came back, I went to your other blog and saw you had not posted there in a while. So I thought you were no longer blogging. Then tonight I realized you were blogging on this blog. It is good to visit. <br /><br />BTW, patience is something I sure do need!<br /><br />God bless,<br />KenKenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01778220319438098870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-59593689620670271972012-12-03T12:50:18.587-08:002012-12-03T12:50:18.587-08:00Actually, when you look to the left, I'm the o...Actually, when you look to the left, I'm the one beside you on the couch! I seem to be sharing that space with you. I've been here before though, so this I know... HE knows we're there, and in the waiting He is getting us ready for whatever is next. I so relate to your heart Sharon, and it always lifts me up, maybe it's that so many times I feel just what you write.<br /><br />Shelf space is not without value... :) Just wait!<br /><br />http://bitsandpieces-sonja.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/09254831447887637714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-42827143901326659402012-12-03T10:00:20.655-08:002012-12-03T10:00:20.655-08:00I do remember a time when I felt like I had been p...I do remember a time when I felt like I had been put on a shelve for a season. Being a gal who doesn't like empty white space it was a difficult time for me. The scripture that kept coming to mind was "be still and know that I am God" It was a time of growth to be sure...praying that you will find it a time of renewal as wellMaryannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05147215921425305908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168946904182381428.post-64320585205127641142012-12-03T08:58:37.236-08:002012-12-03T08:58:37.236-08:00Sharon,

Sometimes we are up high (all your speaking ) and then there are times he wants us quiet and close to him. David had that huge triumph w/Goliath and then, here he is hiding in a cave! I don't like that God has us "uncomfortable" a lot of times, but just know He is right there with you, smiling at you, because HE loves you and knows that HE is working in and through you! HE just did- what a blessing your post is!

At times I wonder how will ever get to the act of doing ministry again but I try to find rest in knowing I'm right were I need to be at this time in my life. Because truth be told I had begun to become weary in the doing.

Although I know things are quiet at the moment and that is a bit discouraging.<br /><br />God Bless Sister - Nita xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02205365191840035777noreply@blogger.com
