It all will be revealed to you when he is ready. Just keep on doing what he puts in your heart, and pray that you follow the path he illuminates for your life. Every choice we make brings us closer to God, or takes us away, so keep on making those good choices and trust that he will finish all the good works he has given to your heart. God bless you my friend. Juli Mary I know God has a plan for you and your writings. It all will be revealed to you when he is ready.

I'm so glad he has you. If you want book titles, I've got several that come highly recommended...on how to work through the issues. They're secular, but still full of insight and encouragement. Same thing for you, Jen. Somehow I knew you were a survivor. You have that strength about you. Amy, so glad to see you dropped by!! I'm loving your book, btw. :) Thanks for your encouragement, it means a lot. Bethanie, praying for you and your husband. I’m so glad he has you.

We live in a world with school shootings, war, and things like the VA Tech shooting where many people were killed and many survived but saw so much evil up close. There are sooooo many people who will benefit from your knowledge that will come out in your books and your prayers.

I'm keeping my receipts for future deductions... Jen, I'm so sorry you ever had cause to have flashbacks. Sadly, they are much more common than I'd ever thought. I'm so thankful you aren't still suffering from them.

I just love the internet. When I'm going along in my WIP and come across a research question, the answer is usually a click or two away, some times it takes me away from the story for a while, but we have to get our research right!

I have to say, I wrote this yesterday, time-stamped for today and right after that I got caught up on my emails. I was about to delete an old "comment" alert in my inbox from MInTheGap's discussion on pro-life, and decided to read it instead. I saw the situation you outlined and your mention of PTSD! What a coincidence?! Anyway, I've been devouring the book, it's got so many great suggestions on how to deal with the after-effects, to plan for triggers, etc. I'll keep you and what you mentioned in mind.
