We shouldn't care what others think, if we know that God clearly wants us to go down this path.<br /><br />Thank you so much, Liz! That means so much. You've always been one of my biggest supporter. :)<br /><br />Yes, I totally agree with you.

Not only are words discouraging, but even when people act as if they don't care can hurt.

While it can be discouraging, it can be helpful to take the lack of support as a challenge to do even better, if only to prove them wrong. I have also had friends and acquaintances of varying degrees inform me that writing is not work, or that I am wasting my time, or that I won't make it as a writer. But it's not for them to predict my future. And if God is calling me down this path, then I will just have to trust him to help me walk it. <br /><br />And for the record, the people who say you can't do this are wrong, because. I see so much potential in you, and I have seen so much growth in your writing already. Even if it takes you another year, or another ten years, of apprenticeship, you will get there. *nods sagely* <br /><br />Still, I get what you're saying about struggling with believing the lie, because so often it's a confirmation of the self doubt you were already battling against, and negative feedback has a stronger effect than positive. I hope you're able to find ten supportive people for every negative person you encounter, so you can balance it out. :) Liz Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15823595869843889438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1689849962525988095.post-19660747728596516372017-03-12T17:44:46.623-07:002017-03-12T17:44:46.623-07:00Wow, yes, this post was amazing!

But even with that determination, the seed of self-doubt has still been planted by their unkind words. Also, I don't think someone has to necessarily SAY unsupportive things for it to hurt us and cause us to believe the lie. People who simply aren't interested in our passions, and don't care to hear about it, they're saying the same thing without words. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing! This was very encouraging. :D Faith P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12321422384005620538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1689849962525988095.post-32982625430797743292017-03-12T16:50:10.511-07:002017-03-12T16:50:10.511-07:00This is so inspiring!
