Hagar witnesses the birth of a long awaited son to her mistress. Again, we see a rise in the tensions between Hagar and Sarah. The difference in this dispute is Sarah demands Abraham to drive Hagar and her son, Ishmael away. Hagar leaves because she has no choice, but God once again intervenes. First, He instructs Abraham to take care of Ishmael. Secondly, He does not let Hagar and her son die in the desert.

Questions to Ponder:

  1. When Hagar is at her lowest and the way seems darkest, she calls out to God and then looks for His answer. Where do I turn when I am in my lowest, darkest place?

 

Conclusion:

Many women today find themselves in situations where they feel as if they have no control. What many do not see is they do have some control and it is the most important control of all. They control their response and connection to God. If they reach through their darkness into God’s pinpoint of light and then follow God’s lead, they find their way through the darkness.

 

Prayer:

 

Lord Jesus, please stay within my grasp, so when the darkness comes I may reach out to you and find my way home. Amen.

All for the Glory of God,

New Friends Part II

Posted on by

Recently I posted a devotion about my journey to make friends since moving to the state of Washington. After the posting one of my new friends pointed out that I hadn’t mentioned my writing friends. Yes, I hadn’t included them, but not because they were unimportant or inconsequential in my life.

For me and I’m sure for most writers, writing buddies and critique groups fill a very important place in their life. I belong to two different groups and each has a unique place in my writing journey.

The first is a critique group. Although our main purpose is critiquing each other’s work, we also offer support, suggest changes and have a little fun while we’re at it.

My second group is a writer’s group. We gather several times a month and write. We started during 2009 NANOWRIMO, (National Novel Writers Month) and at the end of November a small group of us didn’t want to stop. We inspire, guide through the blocks, suggest words and ideas. When we find a character with a problem someone always has a solution, a flat plot, someone will pump it up. We also have fun together, because sometimes it can’t be all about the writing.

These two groups have given me the courage to streetch myself, move out of my comfort zone. I don’t have a dedication page in my first published book, but if I did it would have a list of the men and women in these two groups. They have pushed me, and continue to do so, to places I never really thought I could reach.

Just turn your phone off immediately, dismantle its parts, put each piece in a bag of uncooked rice, and let cialis vs viagra it dry thoroughly. Herbal hair oils, face generic cialis online packs, shaving creams and after shave lotions could be counted as examples in this segment. This medication will work low cialis cost by improving blood supply through the penis stiffens more than once. It improves blood flow to the reproductive get viagra sample mouthsofthesouth.com organ. So if you take anything from this post, let it be: Find a group, a critique group and/or a writer’s group. Every writer needs one or more. They do something no one else can do for you. Only another writer can truly know what you go through each day when sit at your desk staring at a blank page or computer screen.

Thank you Angie, Renee, Bev, Judy and Rich. Thank you Dar, Angi, Emily, Sarah and Carl. I dedicate this post to you.
