I found your post especially intriguing because you have already found success as an author, and I often consider how best to balance being relevant in my work while while still glorifying God with all aspects of my life. I've often imagined the additional promotional demands I would face once published, and your post has offered great advice.<br /><br />I hope that I will be able to utilize some of the advice you've given while promoting my own book in the future. :o) <br /><br />Thanks for posting. God bless,<br />Ashley <br />AshleyLynchHarris.com Ashley Lynch-Harrishttp://ashleylynchharris.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641599238951031625.post-43043990479968073232013-01-25T08:31:16.024-08:002013-01-25T08:31:16.024-08:00Thanks, Susan.:)Thanks, Susan.:)Nancy Mehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03246413904195506650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641599238951031625.post-526682248200992512013-01-25T08:31:00.332-08:002013-01-25T08:31:00.332-08:00Thanks, Roxanne.

Sometimes it's hard, but to glorify God in our lives, we've got to become more like Christ who gave himself completely for us. Praying for both of us that we can do it. :)NancyMehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15821718182508483661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641599238951031625.post-86819345931399426642013-01-24T19:56:44.298-08:002013-01-24T19:56:44.298-08:00Loved the story about the pastor telling the woman...Loved the story about the pastor telling the woman to bake cookies.

I remember a Dear Abby column from years past, when she responded to someone who was blue and lonely over the holidays every year with that same type of advice: to spend the holidays helping others.<br /><br /> What you wrote is applicable to people of all kinds, not just writers. Bless you!<br /><br />And thanks so much for giving so much time and effort to the Suspensesisters!<br /><br />RoxanneRoxanneRustandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03443712316288965799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641599238951031625.post-14186427704675373622013-01-24T16:00:07.284-08:002013-01-24T16:00:07.284-08:00Nancy, what a great post.

I really didn't know that authors struggle with such issues but then again when you are writing to glorify God you know that satan is lurking just to see you fall on your face and so it only makes sense that he wants it to be all about "You." <br /><br />I have been focusing on me as a result of half my family shunning me because of lies a family member told about me. To this very day, I don't know what I supposedly said or did. I need to get over feeling sorry for myself because I find myself on the outside looking in. Since God knows the truth I need to focus on Him and how I can Glorify Him in helping others thus taking the focus off of myself. <br />Thank you so much Nancy!<br />Blessings!<br />JudyJudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15662361293867445784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641599238951031625.post-21349730481414725582013-01-23T14:00:27.953-08:002013-01-23T14:00:27.953-08:00I feel the same way about my dog, Michelle.

I find that people who are depressed are always thinking about themselves. Usually, it's the past - or a situation they can't do much about. If we would only learn to cast our care and trust God. Our lives would be so much happier. <br /><br />Thanks for your comment.

It's funny you mentioned dieting, each time I decide it's time to shed a few pounds the focus immediately becomes about "me" and what "I" can eat. It seems that every moment is a focus on myself. Yet when I become busy serving others I don't focus on the food, I use up more energy and before I know it I've lost the pounds I was so concerned about. <br />It's almost as though scripture knows what it's talking about when it tells us to "Seek first the kingdom of God". :O)Lynfordshirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00752384092082427137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641599238951031625.post-16693525228057817442013-01-23T08:52:16.669-08:002013-01-23T08:52:16.669-08:00Thank you for writing this..I know I have been str...Thank you for writing this..I know I have been struggling with what can I do to help my sister who has disowned me and now is in a mental hospital.No matter what Ive done nothing helps.I then decided to concentrate on giving it to God and let him lead..Looking forward to seeing what he can do and in the meantime working on encouraging others.Gives a sense of peace.It helps to know you are human to ...love ya Donita Cormannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641599238951031625.post-29465984228520402262013-01-23T08:52:13.986-08:002013-01-23T08:52:13.986-08:00So many good points in your post that apply to so ...So many good points in your post that apply to so many things. For instance, I occasionally sing solos at church. I know that my voice is okay and nothing outstanding but it is so nice to hear people say how beautiful it is and how much they enjoy hearing me sing. The music director will tell me how the choir just isn't the same when I'm not there (small choir) as well as the pianist agreeing. Makes it so easy to start thinking it is you and not Him.<br /><br />Thanks for the great post.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11438094242846942053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-641599238951031625.post-52592327151711713302013-01-23T08:39:58.060-08:002013-01-23T08:39:58.060-08:00This is so true.
