  1. This is such an important reminder, Darlene–persevering with patience is always challenging for those of us who write and speak. I’m also a parent who is waiting on God for a miracle of mercy for my son, Today I’m going to practice praising Him in advance as I anticipate what He will do.

    1. Hi Carol, thank you.

      I have prayed for Gene and you today.

      Waiting is grueling at times.

      And I will anticipate His work with you, Let’s praise HIM…!

      Blessings and love to you, Darlene

    2. It was a nudge from the Holy Spirit for me to hear you were a reluctant writer. Is there somewhere that you mention this struggle? And how you overcame it? God has been pressing me for several years to finish a book he created me to write. Fear and many life trials have held me back. My mother just passed away after 6 years of care, my 7 kids are all out of the nest although one daughter is in a heartbreaking place right now. There is room to write and I’m told Im a good writer, but it’s so hard to get the words out. Appreciate any prayers or advice. And yes, I’ve read your book!

      1. Hi Rosemary, I am just reading your post and I am uncertain if you are addressing it to Carol or to me, Darlene. Feel free to email if you care to learn how to get your book out of you, Darlene@Heartswithapurpose.com. Keep writing and believing!

  3. Thank you, I needed this today, “knock it off already.” I’ve never wanted to be or seen myself as a writer, BUT, I know God keeps putting it on my heart to write a blog. Lord, please help me. Since my husband passed, I’ve been in kind of a circling pattern, and just never really landed. Pray the clouds clear up for me, or I will trust the instruments to just land the plane for goodness sake! I feel like the gas is running out. Thank you again for the encouragement ❤️

    1. Thank you for sharing, Janet.
      I prayed clarity for you. Perhaps as you write your blog the fog will begin to lift.

      So sorry for your deep loss.
      Much comfort and many blessings, Darlene

  7. Thanks Darlene! I am currently in a place of waiting and I needed this encouragement.

    It’s not looking as I thought it would after the SpeakUp Conference but I will continue to persevere and take heed to what you…and James said. “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial…” (James 1:12a NIV).♥️

    I will praise God because I know He is in control❣

    1. Hi Karen, thanks for sharing.
      I prayed wisdom for you. Keep working in the wait to what you can control as that helps. 🙂
      Blessings on you, Karen.
      And praise indeed lifts our hearts to His!
