At 18, I didn't understand it. But now I do. I attended a support group that taught the adage, "Let go and Let God." It took a while but it finally sank in.quietspirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086016141181470311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91619058872894494.post-26788329470776919182011-01-08T13:27:20.408-08:002011-01-08T13:27:20.408-08:00Lately I've felt like my publication ambitions...Lately I've felt like my publication ambitions are just within my grasp, but that may because I haven't had a project to query in awhile and the rejection reality has worn off. I guess it's good to go into the query process with a healthy amount of hope and confidence, as long as I keep the perspective that God is in control. He knows the right timing for this for me -- when and if I'm ready. That encourages me and takes the pressure off.<br /><br />AmyA.L.

What a blessing you are. Because of you, I'm a better person.<br /><br />By nature I cling too tightly. God's been working on me, and I've learned to loosen my grip and leave things in His capable hands. Therefore, I like to think I can honestly say "just within grasp," as I wait to see what He has in store for me. Well, I can say that today . . . at this moment in time. I'm a work-in-progress who takes steps forward but also back. =)Keli Gwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13236868298400593688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91619058872894494.post-22029872095513936012011-01-07T12:30:43.281-08:002011-01-07T12:30:43.281-08:00Clinging tightly to the Lord, just within grasp of...Clinging tightly to the Lord, just within grasp of the goals He's placed before me.<br /><br />*Thanks for the comment over @ Life Lessons - <br />I appreciate the compliment on the picture!

I was clinging too tightly and I have to get back to just within grasp. Because when I keep reaching, I keep learning and I keep desiring to learn. God knows the right time and I think He knocked me on my bum about that. <br /><br />Thanks for the question today- it was good for me. :)Caseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00920406327885410557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91619058872894494.post-12912990804617202422011-01-07T08:52:06.020-08:002011-01-07T08:52:06.020-08:00Clinging too tightly all too often, unless it'...Clinging too tightly all too often, unless it's my faith, which I should cling to and sometimes feel that it's just within my grasp...These two are probably directly related.<br /><br />Love these questions, and I am always eager to see what amazing photos you find for Fridays. :)Erica Vetschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08772984806574666959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91619058872894494.post-65724744725149815302011-01-07T07:49:33.060-08:002011-01-07T07:49:33.060-08:00I'm going with just within grasp.
