With God's grace and equipping I will "Dare to write..right from the heart" as He has already enabled me to. If my words have blessed you, then all thanks and praise to Him. Bless you, dear friend, and sister of the heart, for this lovely, encouraging comment.

God reaches out and touches my heart through your words. Don't compare, Dare. Dare to write always, because you are so talented and have so much to say that people can relate to. And so much of what you say is raw, right from the heart--not carefully scripted, but authentic. You don't know how you have ministered to my heart. I am so blessed to have you for a friend, dear Joy. Always friends, love, Debby xx :) Deborah Boltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16010919623550536062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006877034360892497.post-27180034816988259482013-04-24T06:28:21.435-07:002013-04-24T06:28:21.435-07:00Hi Estetik.

I'm afraid I cannot really help unless you make it clear exactly what you mean, e.g the blog in general, this post or something specific within it. Thank you :)Joy Lentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03486637586238798088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006877034360892497.post-39758650825778672732013-04-24T06:21:56.890-07:002013-04-24T06:21:56.890-07:00Hi Kimberly. Thanks very much for your kind words ...Hi Kimberly. Thanks very much for your kind words and for giving me an opportunity to share and link up with you. I did have another attempt at the link-up and it succeeded. But when I looked again to check whether there was a new prompt for next week I found it had disappeared! Not sure why. Don't worry, I also find technology confusing! Will give it another go before Monday :) xJoy Lentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03486637586238798088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006877034360892497.post-87328893879716610252013-04-24T06:17:09.399-07:002013-04-24T06:17:09.399-07:00Hi Karrilee.

The whole process has unearthed a memoir style of writing for me that is helping to unleash memories and see God's hand at work in the past and in the here and now. Whatever the result for you, it cannot fail to stretch and enhance your skills.

I'm afraid I'm having a bit of a hiccup with the linky, and so if you wouldn't mind stopping by and adding your link again, I would so appreciate it! Sorry for the confusion, but it's my first time trying to add a linky to the blog. I'm perpetually confused by technology!<br /><br />Thanks, Joy:)Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15107944804971739238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006877034360892497.post-11413623961127754372013-04-22T17:02:30.635-07:002013-04-22T17:02:30.635-07:00This was such a powerful post! So true and honest....This was such a powerful post! So true and honest... I loved this: "Comparison has stolen my joy. Competitiveness sours my peace. Criticism (generally of the self-inflicted variety) saps my confidence." Oh - how easy it is to fall prey to this line of habit! We are link up neighbors today over at Kimberlys... this was my first attempt at joining in with #concretewords... still not sure I did it right but then again, maybe that is that criticism again!
