I am currently 23 years old and in my first year of teaching high school math. Unfortunately, I have discovered that I really do not like what I am doing. Sometimes it is all I can do in the morning to get out of bed and go to work. I keep finding there are a lot of ways my personality does not match up well with the responsibilities of a teacher. Deep in my heart I have this desire to use my

I would like to go back to work with seniors, to seriously write again for publication, or to travel--but now is not my time as my retired husband has MS and his 96 year old mother lives with us.I myself have health issues of diabetes, asthma, and have had 2 ileostomies. My legs are quite messed up with chronic ultra venous insufficiency. My plate is full--There are soooo many external and

You're very wise, Patti, to recognize that where you are now, is not where you'll be forever. God is at work in the places where we feel stuck so ask Him what He wants you to see about yourself, His shaping of your heart and character, and how He is present in both the stuck and the stimulating places.

2012-02-06T14:20:15.107-08:00

So glad you recognize that feeling "stuck" is not a permanent location. Even though it is difficult to look back and look forward, I hope you do it and gain some insights into how God is leading your life and molding you in all that happens. Blessings, Poppy

2012-02-03T21:00:01.966-08:00

It is good for us all to reflect on ourselves--especially if it brings us to God and having Him show us His will... sometimes it's difficult for me to think about the "what was", or the "what could/will be" times when I feel sorta "stuck" here in the present. But I know it's only temporary... better and easier times are ahead!

Dear Poppy,

It felt like such a privilege to have you all to ourselves in our little group when you were here (think you've left Singapore by now?). Thank you for the follow-up on the "dream" question. I have begun to feel restless, as you say in your post. I'm not sure if being a stay-at-home mom fits me well but does giving up on it mean I'm giving up on my

Also good to try and put the situation in terms of another person if that is what is making you angry. For me it is when I am tired and hungry that sets me off.

2010-04-02T15:17:49.234-07:00

For Orthodox Christians, the Easter egg is much more than a celebration of the ending of the fast, it is a declaration of the Resurrection of Jesus. Traditionally, Orthodox Easter eggs are dyed red to represent the blood of Christ, shed on the Cross, and the hard shell of the egg symbolized the sealed Tomb of Christ—the cracking of which symbolized his resurrection from the dead.

Poppy,
I came across your blog from Mary DeMuth's post about you, and I am glad I did.

I so identify with your statement that you didn't always desire to be an author. I am currently writing a book, but I feel the same way. Every author I have ever seen/read says they've wanted to write since childhood. Not so for me. I have been a speaker for years, but have an idea

Hello Poppy,

Living in L.A. right now, I was acutely aware of the "hub-bub" around a very-world-wide-loved music figure.

I myself enjoyed his music, and realize only God, Michael, and the kids know what happened in his later years scandal.

God for many people is a distant figure, and when we have a very negative father figure, it is extremely

Poppy, I want to echo thanks as many others have, in bringing this topic to the forefront. My husband and I went through an experience this Spring, and I'm so thankful that it was a safe learning experience that brought us closer together and had the best possible outcome. Through it though, the fear of my husband even having an emotional affair was paralyzing. It was because this is

I'll always remember Susan Boyle. Her story is a good reminder to not judge a book by its cover. She's a spunky gal with hidden talent. I'm glad she's getting an opportunity to shine. She deserves it!

Hi Poppy,

I saw your request on the AWSA post today and I'd love to connect with you.

This blog post you did today is fantastic and wonderfully helpful. I'd love to use it for a Proverbs 31 radio program and help promote you through some of our avenues.

Why don't you e-mail my asst. at Holly@Proverbs31.org... or you can connect with me through my blog, linked to this

thank you for this . . . through an especially trying time praising God is beginning to become a way to realize a more faithful walk, that is hopeful in God's wisdom and goodness.

2007-05-28T09:22:00.000-07:00

Poppy somehow your blog is going slow, but I am glad to tap into it. Jesus prayed and pryer is the essence of true life moreso than brathing, for we will stop breathing as we know it but will continue on with pryer and praise once we reach heaven.

Hi Poppy ~

Nice reminder of the many forms of prayer. I so often think it only "counts" when I'm on my knees and in a dedicated attitude of prayer.

Thanks so much.

That story is a clever reminder of God's amazing creativity when it comes to answering our prayers. :)
