Helen, thank you for sharing your heart! I finally found and started reading your blog today—God is taking me on a journey I did not think I’d be taking, and has taught me so much in the last few years about freedom, my significance, being who He created me to be—so many of the points you address here.
One of my favorite lines from this entry (I know it’s an older entry but I was drawn to it and plan on reading many more) is “the One who is opening the doors (or not opening them) is the One who turns disappointment into humility, frustration into perseverance, “waste” into gain, and failure into freedom from self-sufficiency.” I especially like “failure into freedom from self-sufficiency”—because that is what God has been teaching me. It is what inspired me to start my website (I hope you will check it out—perhaps you can be a guest blogger or writer!)
Hugs to you! Keep writing!
Janet

Dear Helen, I often think of those whom God called in the Bible, and how many times God took them through a long dry period–a wilderness–to prepare them for His work. Trust Him. He deeply values you and is working right now around you. Sing for Him with all that you have where ever you are. The doors that God opens for you cannot be shut (not even by a snoring editor!) Trust God. He will open a door at the perfect time.

Helen, when you write, you are real and your transparency is like a magnet to my heart. I love you and I am praying that God provides for your trip to She Speaks.
