Has your week been like mine with exhausting mental gymnastics and information overload? I’ve been struggling to convert an InDesign file to Word of a book I’ve agreed to edit. My email inbox continues to hover at around 800 messages (please forgive me if I’ve not yet answered an email you sent me), and I’ve spent tons of valuable time on a serious Facebook problem. Someone from Birmingham, United Kingdom, has stolen my Facebook profile – my photo and bio and some of my likes and interests. I’m very concerned, especially since a friend has alerted me to emails she’s received from bagnullmarlene @yahoo about a $25K government grant. If you’ve received an email message from bagnullmarlene @yahoo or a Facebook friend request seemingly from me, please let me know. If you have a Facebook account, I’d really appreciate it if you’d do a search for Marlene Bagnull and report my imposter by clicking on Block/Report on the bottom of her page.
Life does get complicated and overwhelming. Finding time to “write His answer” may seem impossible much less making time to first wait on Him for His answer (Hab. 2:1). In the midst of this challenging week Father is showing me the need to “be still, and know that he is God” (Psa. 46:10 NIV).
The fact is Jesus never promised it would be easy to follow Him. Indeed, the opposition will become more intense as the day of His return approaches. But He has promised always to be with us and offers us a place of quiet rest in the midst of all that threatens to overwhelm us.
I especially want to encourage you to seek that quiet place before you go to the polls this Tuesday. Make time to examine each candidate’s record and to ask, “How would You vote, Lord?”
Father, please help us to clearly hear from You and to write Your answer. And please have mercy on our nation and bring us back to You.
Write His Answer 
Hi Marlene,
What a pleasant surprise! I did not know you were blogging. I am too, thanks to Bonnie Calhoun’s awesome workshop on facebook, blogging and twitter. I have started a devotional writing blog and a photography blog. My devotional writing blog combines my writing and photography, and my photography blog showcases God’s beautiful creation with scripture passages. Like you, I am extremely busy, but I have devoted a lot of time to writing His answer and developing my photography skills. Please visit:

Sorry to hear about your facebook hacker. I hope they catch her/him.
Blessings,
Judy
Thank you Marlene for a job well done. I need to forward the nice emails / remarks I am getting from
our visiting attendees at the seminar. I pray that all this knowledge will be put to use.
I showed Jim my free book and told him he could read it if he wanted to.
God bless you and protect you from the present imposter.
I will go again to her FB page and report her.
Lois
SO delighted to see you blogging today! Like the running banner across the top of your website. Yes, we are all praying for our country. May God be glorified!
