Yes, life is already good. God is already good. I know I have been so focused on a dream or ambition–like my business going into good profit, my book being published–that I have sometimes lost sight of the simple goodness of the everyday!

I loved the part in the post where you talked about Abram living his life as he would have without the promise…good and upright, busy and content. A good message for all those waiting in neutral for God’s miracles. That they should come into the midst of lives.

Waiting doesn’t come easy to most of us. This is really uplifting, helpful and encouraging. It makes me assess where I am, the attitude I adopt in the interim before a dream comes true, suggests positive action to take while waiting, and is just what I need to hear right now. Thank you! I will have to bookmark this to return to time and again as a reminder. 🙂 xx

This is simply wonderful. Causes me to check on my dreams again. I loved this!!!!

I will be praying for you and your writing, Anita. I absolutely understand.
