Thanks, yes, that makes sense. Each day is a gift and I love the idea of gift of freedom. :)

Today to make a difference I am intentionally visiting blogs and offering a word of encouragement. I want to die empty and unless I change something I probably will die with something still left undone. That thought scares me. I better get moving or else. Thanks for the opportunity to win this book. Sounds amazing.

Re: Avoiding One Great Temptation Every New Dream Faces

I'm starting to step out with creating photography with words or verses on them. Scary for me. Not sure if I'm good enough. Creative enough. Or if there is even an interest. I'm trying to help our budget with my son starting college in the fall.

Yes, I've been doubtful. Actually it's more like I've thought about never even starting because of doubt. I do get stuck in comparing like you mentioned.

So thank you, I hope to have the courage to finish strong. I'd love this book!

Michael, thank you for the opportunity to enter.

I love Don Miller's books and blog.

I would love to attend this conference because I'm in a transitional stage with my position as a mom (my son graduates high school in a few weeks) and my daughter starts high school in the fall. I've been a stay at home mom for the past 14 years. I do a little writing and speaking and photography on the side. So far not for money though, but that needs to change fast. I need to start helping our budget because college isn't free. I have a hard time charging for talks, ect.

I need to make some major decisions this summer! Either jump into speaking, writing or photography full-time (could I do all 3? or is that not focused?) or get a real job outside the home.

I'm scared. And I can't imagine working at Starbucks is my best story and I'm not sure I'd even get hired anyway...I'm over 40. Mid-life has a way of rattling my confidence, esp. being home all these years.

I think this conference would help me hone in on who I really am. Then that knowledge could propel me to do whatever needs to be done with passion. I can't be passive much longer.

I want to live the best story possible, according to God's design. I could use a little help from those who I respect who already are!

Re: Am I wrong to whine about money? Probably.

Thanks for honest sharing, Mary. I have similar struggles. Especially over the last couple hours because I haven't made any money to speak of in ministry I never know what to do with my written words. :) Should I get paid? Or should I give myself away? Hard part is we are coming into a new season with Justin starting college in the fall and I need to create a source of income to help out. I'm wrestling with what that will be. A part-time job? Or working hard again on freelance writing or trying to drum up speaking engagements with no income guarantee? It's all hard. I want a pure heart regardless of feast or famine. I know you do too.

May God bless your efforts.
Love,
Tiffany

Re: 7 Reasons You Should Join Me on a Caribbean Cruise for Creatives

tiffanystuart — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 17:02:46 -0000

Thanks for the info. This is so tempting...I dream of the day I can attend my first cruise, especially a "creative" one. Maybe someday when I start making good money. :) I'm a starving artist in ministry. Good thing my husband has a decent job.

I'm sure all who attend will have lots to share. I look forward to hearing more.

Re: Find Your Strongest Life by Marcus Buckingham

I wasn't expecting this type of book to be heavy on scripture, so that is why I loved the book. I often read books by people like John C Maxwell. General motivation like Zig Ziglar. I like general leadership type books written by Christians for the general market. I like straight practical reading for a change of pace from my knee high stack of Christian books. You are right though no real Bible based teaching. I even hand wrote in mine is a couple places "God-given" strengths. I saw God in there a couple times. I especially loved the Christ and Cross personal story.

I just checked my bar code on my copy and it's coded as "Business and Economics/General." Thomas Nelson publishes a variety of books. I would have appreciated more Truth to support his book, but I still enjoyed it just like it was.

Appreciate you writing an honest review. It's always interesting to glean from others. Positive or negative, I like hearing what other readers think. We all see things through our unique lens. It's a good and beautiful thing.

In Christ's love,

Tiffany

Sounds like my kind of cooking. I do not like formal recipes either. I need freedom.
