Funny how when He gives me directions I don't like so much -- I lag behind and even drift over to that other stuff I got ahead of Him with. Always simply seeking Him -- would that, for me, this were enough. God bless you as you seek Him.

I will say the great thing about "being still" is, for me, it's creative time. The Lord gifts me with so many more ideas when I'm still.

I love to write, but it seems God is sinking me into His word and giving me other things to do. It is a day by day, faith by fatih, process for me.
