I am another "what if" person and not only do I manage to concoct endless lists of them my imagination runs away with the craziest and most unlikely worst possible scenarios that I then decide it is up to me to be prepared to fix if they occur.<BR/><BR/>I've also noticed I am even more likely to go down this road and hit the ensuing roller coaster rides of emotions when I let my focus waver and don't keep myself in the Word on a regular basis.<BR/><BR/>At this point I need to take a few deep breaths, relax and make time to keep up with regular times of fellowship with my Father - if not daily then at least more often than just the weekend even if I am currently on a full time day job assignment.<BR/><BR/>See you all on Mon - hopefully for more regular posts and checking in from me.<BR/><BR/>MelissaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08885416877999731273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-869144916864912907.post-46980888647628887482008-06-10T21:18:00.000-07:002008-06-10T21:18:00.000-07:00I'm driving but asking Jesus to take the wheel.I'm driving but asking Jesus to take the wheel.Kimberley Trouttehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656793524069292791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-869144916864912907.post-20345425580881385202008-06-10T21:04:00.000-07:002008-06-10T21:04:00.000-07:00It totally feels like we've been doing this longer...It totally feels like we've been doing this longer than 9 days.

Yet, I'm excited by going through this process. Yes, I'm also plagued by what ifs, what if I get all the way through this and God still hasn't answered my prayer, what if I can't see any change in myself? But I've got to shake that off, and hang on to the verse for today, I want to believe that God works things out for those who believe...that He has truly gathered each of us here right now to make something special happen.suzanneelizabeths.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14304462740451230118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-869144916864912907.post-23547351036361193232008-06-10T12:08:00.000-07:002008-06-10T12:08:00.000-07:00I can't believe it's already day 9, I'm feeling re...I can't believe it's already day 9, I'm feeling really excited & hopeful which is pretty unusual for me.Sarakastichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489373434924061620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-869144916864912907.post-62191736268551865872008-06-10T11:26:00.000-07:002008-06-10T11:26:00.000-07:00I think that in times like these we just have to p...I think that in times like these we just have to put everything we can into believing God. Trish- I always think back in your book to the moment when you started praying for your husband. You didn't even know who he was, but you had the undying faith that it would happen. That is my inspiration in these times, I am thanking God- knowing that the gifts will come.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08707159498518409239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-869144916864912907.post-1171811056976411232008-06-10T10:54:00.000-07:002008-06-10T10:54:00.000-07:00Thanks Trish for this post, it was right on time. ...Thanks Trish for this post, it was right on time. I keep wondering am I doing this right? I am praying everyday, but this is what I have always done. After reading this I realized that even though I had been praying before, this 40 days of prayer has caused me to be more in tune with God. And fasting from myspace has kept me more focused on what I am asking God to do in my life without added distractions. But you are right, when you are in the middle of it, it does seem long, and sometimes you feel like everyday your waiting for something to happen.heiresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03601437668537933782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-869144916864912907.post-47199950705687196762008-06-10T09:01:00.000-07:002008-06-10T09:01:00.000-07:00I'm another one of those "what if" people.

I am in the middle of my own "storm" right now, and having a hard time finding my way out. Its reassuring to know that God has a plan for us. We just need to ask for his help.Jmnychttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13727263543126230796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-869144916864912907.post-38549110472527292532008-06-10T07:37:00.000-07:002008-06-10T07:37:00.000-07:00thank you so much for this post. i can't tell you ...thank you so much for this post. i can't tell you how perfect it is!
