		<description>Hi Melissa-

I knew you way back as a little girl in MOPS. And now you&#039;re a mom!

Your mom sent me  the link to your blog because she saw that I was writing, too. But you&#039;re way braver than me, because I almost never wrote when my four kids were small. 

I so identify with what you&#039;re saying about insecurities and being hesitant to call yourself a writer. You got married, so you&#039;re a wife. You had a baby, so your&#039;re a mom. And you&#039;re writing, so you&#039;re a writer. It really is hard to wrap your brain around the last one, mainly because it&#039;s something you do for you and the Lord.

I love what you have to say. Keep at it. I have links on my blog for writers who don&#039;t have alot of money, in case you want to check it out. http://writingwhilethericeboils.blogspot.com/

		<description>Missy, you&#039;ve touched a deep part of me.  I view my insecurities in much the same way.  In fact, for me, it&#039;s my music.  I&#039;ve left unfinished so many things in my music world, exactly the same as you did with that course.  My reasoning?  I&#039;m just not good enough.  Tears come to my eyes as I reflect on the lethargy I&#039;ve allowed to creep into my musical heart.  God forgive me,  and give me the strength to step out and become vulnerable, even if I&#039;m not as good as the musicians at that mega-church down the street.</description>

		<description>Melissa, this is JUST BEAUTIFUL!!  Wow.  That&#039;s all I have to say.  Wow.  First of all, can I just say that you ALREADY ARE a writer... and a great one!  And you have SO challenged me to step out of my own comfort zone and face some insecurities of my own.  (I&#039;ll share that on my blog later tonight.)  THANK you for the honor of getting to read and share in this.  I SO appreciate your friendship, and I can&#039;t wait to see how it grows through shared writing.  :)  If you&#039;re like me, some thoughts just don&#039;t come out anywhere or anyway except on paper/screen.  I&#039;m proud of you.  And proud to be your friend!  

Love,
