All things completed in Christ

We have come to the waters from all parts of the world to pause,reflect and relax in the Word of God. Jesus is here in our hearts to remind us that he helps us when we ask.

Philippians 4:13 for I can do everything God asks me to with the help of Christ who gives me the strength and power.

This ends the study of Who I Am In Christ and we have learned that we are accepted, secure and significant. We know who we are and where we are going. We have been given purpose and the tools to hear and obey.

This past week, I have thrown myself into a whirlwind of activity concerning writing. I prayed to keep my priorities in order so that things will get completed and out at several publishers requests, that also included writing about Maggie and writing thank you cards to all the wonderful people involved in my writing. Their support has been overwhelming....one of those fall on your knees moments! NO....not like American Idol lately!

Last night Channel 13, a Colorado television station came to interview Maggie and the family. It turned out perfect and Maggie and Jake were sooo cute. Maggie's story has also been picked up by local newspapers and that is a good thing. Helps me learn and experience more marketing skills and also gets the word out to thousands of people how important it is to stay together when you are outside.

For those of you who don't know, Maggie, a little long haired beagle, was mauled badly by three coyotes. This happened in the middle of the day at the bottom step of the wooden deck at their home. I posted on previous blogs but thought if you missed them, that is a re-cap. I'll post her picture today too. It could have easily been our three year old,grand son, Jake. The vet said he would not have lived such a terrible ordeal.

Please feel free to comment. I am praying about where God wants this blog to go next. I am still learning about all the different things I can do. I enjoy others and so will continue to encourage writers and write of the waters.

Blessings to all,
Paulette Harris

Hi Paulette! This is Ian R. Dennison, teddyeno@yahoo.ca in Kingston, Canada. Thanks for your concise March 6 posting. Yes, the waters of life are very important to all of those who would seek refreshment and a wellspring of joy!
I also take this moment to begin to celebrate the coming of Spring and all of its wonders. Thanks for your update about your busyness and your versatility. Thank God that you are so gifted!
I mention my spritual gift of knowledge and thank God for that too.

Paulette,
You have been a great encouragement to me in my writing. I am so blessed and thankful that you take the time to read.. I am loving writing. It's all somewhat new to me. Never would have considered myself a writer.. But I came to realize that I love to pen the words of my heart... so I guess that means I'm a writer... lol

I have prayed for God's wisdom and ideas to come to you as to where to go next with the blog.

Love from Georgia!
Julie
PS. Sorry to hear about Maggie. I didn't know about it. I was one who missed it. I'm glad you gave a "recap"...

Hi again Paulette! This is Ian R. Dennison, teddyeno@yahoo.ca in Kingston, Canada. How are you?
In the midst of the wild waters of a joyful Spring, let's drink it all in and celebrate the season of new birth and bountifulness. Now...about The Explorers project,
what specifics would you like?
I could provide you with information about certain true explorers and Explorer-Man himself.
Okay? They could be examples of who you could approach yourself in your area. Would you like to see some standardized queries to use when interviewing them? God's blessings to you!
