Always good to hear from you.
In the Finding your Voice community, you just add it as a post. Should be a empty status bar at the top of your page. You probably need to be signed in to Google-plus for that option.

I tried to begin this discussion in your other forum (using the provided link), but I'm not finding the place to add the discussion.

Just about every day now."

Always enjoy reading your posts and responses. Thank you for sharing and for brightening our corner of the world. :-)"
Joel Boggess replied to DOUGLAS COLLIER's discussion My solution for overcoming nervousness: Belong. in the group Finding your Voice"Hi Doug,
What a breakthrough!
Good job. I'm curious, how freeing and/or empowering (use another word if you'd prefer) was that realization to you?
The insight of "belong" needs to be shared. Would you begin this…"
"Great insights Douglas. I know that we all have those types of apprehension from time to time. But you are correct, we need to visualize ourselves in that job or career or calling to know that is what we have the confidence to do.…"
"Thanks for your reply, Jeff. I've made 3 phone contacts this morning, and being in the right attitutde and positive frame of mind makes a huge difference.
How are you using your writing now? Are you still in sales?"
"Great Post Doug, I really enjoyed reading this. I have wondered why with my writing, I can share it with anyone with a lot of excitement. In a sales job, it wasn't a good fit and people couldn't tell that my enthusiasm was fake.
Thanks for…"
Julia Gray-Lion replied to DOUGLAS COLLIER's discussion My solution for overcoming nervousness: Belong. in the group Finding your Voice"You're right Douglas - you belong because you are important to God.
One of the joys of job searching is that you get to bless a lot of people as you seek out your own new gig. When you're asking questions, listen for ways to brighten…"
My solution for overcoming nervousness: Belong.
I'm making telephone contacts to prospective schools. (I'm looking for a teaching position.) After sending the usual cover letter, résumé, and miscellaneous documents, the next step is the phone call. I don't know about the rest of you, but I get nervous at that point. Very nervous.I recently started asking myself why I get nervous about that? I've sent them the introductory documents and even told them on the cover letter itself to expect my call on such-and-such day.I came to the…See More
"Thanks Allan and Chris. Hope this helps others."
"It may be a good idea to always ask first. But as long as you're citing the source - and perhaps thereby creating some foot-traffic for that blogger as well - I don't see why anyone would say no."
Chris Peek replied to DOUGLAS COLLIER's discussion My strategy for overcoming nervousness: Belong."Great post! I can completely see myself in this, as well. I don't think I've ever thought about belonging and confidence in tandem like this. It's all about the story we tell ourselves. Thanks for sharing!"
Allan Dubon replied to DOUGLAS COLLIER's discussion My strategy for overcoming nervousness: Belong."this is very well worded. I always tried to explain to people where my confidence came from when I interviewed or called and inquired places. This explains it much better than I ever could have! Thanks"

"God really is the God of heart"

I want to share a very moving thing I witnessed this morning in a children’s Sunday School class. But first I hope you’ll bear with me as I provide a little background on the child who is central to this story.
My good friend Wes Hutchins teaches about 12-13 mostly 5th- and 6th graders. Around the round table were Wes’s own kids as well. Sitting next to Wes (always sitting next to Wes) was his very special needs 10-year-old son, Kyle. Though Kyle’s mind is…

I have a weakness. I'm a compulsive book buyer but a slow book reader.
I made a New Years Resolution at the beginning of this year: I'm not going to buy anymore developmental (don't really care for the term "self-help") books until I've read the ones I have. Problem is I have way too many to read in a year. Right now, I'm reading QBQ by John G. Miller, and yes, putting it to work as well. After all, there's not much point in reading a developmental book if you're not going to…

Posted on November 1, 2011 at 8:35am 2 Comments 0 Likes
I’ve been asked what my daughter is going to be for her first Halloween. “A baby,” I might reply. Someone else asked if she was going to wear a costume. “She’ll wear a diaper…that’s a more elaborate costume than most people will wear.” I try to get people to smile and chuckle with these tongue-in-cheek replies rather than go into a long, drawn-out discussion of why I detest Halloween. I could very easily (and probably should) present my grounds on the cultural and religious aspects of…

Posted on October 30, 2011 at 11:30am 0 Comments 0 Likes
I just sang my 11-month-old daughter to sleep and had to fight back tears while doing so. Here is one of my favorite “lullabies” I sing to her. It was written by Michael Card for his album “Poiema” (which I highly recommend purchasing).
SUNRISE OF YOUR SMILE
Reject the worldly lie that says that life lies always up ahead.
Let power go before control becomes a crust around your soul.
Escape the hunger to possess the soul-diminishing success.
