Introduction:
I have a group of writer friends and we share all our successes as well as our disappointments. We have all been at this game for several years now and have had all different levels of success. Mostly I am very happy when one of the others succeeds, but there is always a small niggling of jealousy because I feel as if I have not had the success they are now celebrating.

I then need to return to my prayers and realize that God will give me successes in His time and to share in the celebration and not engage in the jealousy.
