Proverbs 14:23
All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.
It has been a long and rather discouraging day. However, I did not want it to end on a bad note. So, I spent the evening working on a project and totally lost track of time.
It was nice finishing my project. I have recently learned to create digital planners. It has taken me a couple of days to finish this last one, but I love it! I was able to incorporate Snoopy all over it.
For those that don’t know, I am obsessed with Snoopy and the whole Peanuts Gang! I am excited to start using my digital planner tomorrow.
It feels good when we finish something. Specially, when we had to work hard at it.
Another project I am working on, my doctorate, is not going as well. It is at a very frustrating part, right now.
A friend reminded me of something today when I was in tears over the most recent set back. She told men:
“Every writer has setbacks! How many times was Stephen King rejected? Nothing that is worth anything is ever easy. You are a writer. The best ones have setbacks and they say “NOT TODAY, SATAN” and push forward kicking and screaming..”
She is a very wise friend.
God was saying the same when he inspired our verse today:
Proverbs 14:23 All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.
I stepped out in faith when I quit talking about it and actually started this journey. It has been hard work, but I will succeed.
So, you know what?

Hey Tabetha, may I ask what your doctorate is about? Just curious! 🙂
My docorate is in Curriculum and Instruction. My dissertation is on the use of service dogs on vets with PTSD. The purpose of my study is to show how those students with PTSD have received assistance from a service dog and succeeded in college. Additionally, this study will attempt to explain how the bond between a human and a dog tends to promote social cohesion helping those affected with PTSD increase social support, which positively influences recovery and improves quality of life.
Thanks for asking!
