As I was typing, after describing a type of tiredness, I plugged in the reference for each verse. After the five minutes, I went back and looked the scripture up to make certain that I quoted it accurately, as that is very important to me. I also took additional time to add font colors, etc. I guess I was on a roll! :)Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16524612790060724405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91913093746082865.post-4662134527660178562011-12-02T22:45:01.243-08:002011-12-02T22:45:01.243-08:00Hi Julie~~ All I can say is that you have really i...Hi Julie~~ All I can say is that you have really internalized those Scriptures if you can recall them and apply their various parts and promises so quickly to several kinds of "tiredness"!!! That includes either looking them up or writing them out accurately from memory, all within your timed five-minute writing limit--while at the same time composing an inspirational essay that is a practical lesson on "How to walk in the strength of the Lord." <br /><br />Thank you for writing this. Your descriptions were so clear and concise that there was no mistaking what you meant. I love reading these little windows into your soul. They are so encouraging! I can't help but ponder what the result would be if you compiled a list of all of these "Five-minute Friday" topics and at some future point went back and fleshed them out into a series of devotionals--without any time constraints! <br /><br />That is what many good creative writers do, you know--rework earlier pieces into new and improved versions with added insights, all from fresh perspectives. One major benefit of writing non-stop for five minutes, though, is that you get your thoughts down on paper without the inhibitions of writer's block. Now that's a real blessing for you, right? And for the rest of us~~we get the benefit of thinking your thoughts along with you and being encouraged and strengthened by them. Thank you.<br /><br />Love, MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-91913093746082865.post-5791186953601837502011-12-02T20:34:55.077-08:002011-12-02T20:34:55.077-08:00Amy, lol...yeah, I often find that I am "more...Amy, lol...yeah, I often find that I am "more than one kind" of tired!

I too experience all sorts of tired and need to be reminded that my rest is found in Christ. For me, I have to remind myself during those times where "I am tired and just want to stay in bed and sleep for the next ten years" that "I will sleep when I'm dead" ;)<br /><br />Love you, Sweet Friend,<br /><br />Crystal <><Mrs. Sewellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08524801969660873521noreply@blogger.com
