Faith and love are a good thing too. Hope has put the life back into my soul. The encouragement that I received from your message is like some water to that saguaro so it will bloom. I too will bloom again. I'm sure it won't take as long as it takes the first flowers to bloom (35 years) on the saguaro. Thanks for the encouragement.

Please pray for me. It's time to go to work and the anxiety is setting in where I shake so bad I can't breathe! Thank you. P.S. Please pray for me.

Have been very restless and discouraged with my job as a CNA for quite awhile; not just the lack of pay, but rather, am I still making a difference? Yet in my talks, cries and fist in the air with God, am not getting a clear answer. Again, is it me getting the answer or God? Thank you for Isiah 43. Definitely will read it. Your blog and devotions have always been so timely for me. Perhaps after some weeding, He wants me to bloom once again in this gift He has given me. Blessings to you!

I always look forward to what you have to say. My two girls are 9 and 7 and I think the "bloom where you're planted" is my hugest challenge at the moment (and may always be). About a year and a half ago I signed up for some flute lessons with a now dear friend and not only had a great time learning from her but she put me onto P31 ministries which led to me reading your devotionals and posts too. What a huge blessing! I had tears streaming down my face while I read your blog today and thanks for the very concrete step of reading Isaiah 43 - I needed that. God gave me some clear direction a couple of years ago - which was to give my dreams to Him. They used to be to go and study music at grad school, now I don't really know what my 'dream' is but I know that I need to let God direct the dream and to learn to bloom where I'm planted. Thanks again for your encouragement to keep on trusting that our God will keep on "doing a new thing" in us. p.s. My cactus shots are of the beautiful flowers on a blooming prickly pear cactus that remind us of a monumental year away in south Texas in the Rio Grande Valley. :) Hi Glynnis – thanks so much for your words of encouragement!!

I am just speechless after reading your message for today. Life is wavering each and every day but you have completely spoken God's truth "Bloom where you are planted". I think I will be sharing those words with my family - it is so easy to lose sight of what God is really trying to do in our lives, no matter the season. You are an incredible person-thank you for sharing your "faith" and the realities that surround us. Sincerely, Edie Clavelli Good Morning Glynnis,

Often when things are getting me down, your "lessons" are EXACTLY what I needed to hear! I thank God for the honesty of your struggles and how God shows you through them. Your words pierced through my situation and brought clarity and insite as to what God wanted me to do. Thank you so much! You will never know the far reach of your words!

I loved this post and I am excited about the upcoming study with Melissa Taylor on your book.
