Maybe that's one of the blessings of having crested The Hill. (I'm 52 and have a "full deck" now. =) I still have wants, of course, but I'm learning to let go of expectations and lean on the Lord more than I used to, and that makes a big difference.Keli Gwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13236868298400593688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704686109057239241.post-25645985751110188602012-02-15T11:39:24.570-08:002012-02-15T11:39:24.570-08:00So glad you have learned how God uses our trials t...So glad you have learned how God uses our trials to bless us!

But I have learned how God uses this too.

I want an agent, to be published, to sell lots of copies, etc. etc. But those things won't make me happy--there is always something else to achieve! I have to learn that RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW, I can learn something. God has me here for a reason, and being close to Him is all that really matters. <br /><br />Great post. I'm gonna go tweet it. :)Lindsay Harrelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09379628592162011068noreply@blogger.com
