Transitions—Part 3
Posted on April 23, 2019 Leave a Comment
Part of my transition process has been to remove hindrances in my life that seem to have always been there—like they’re part of me and who I’ve been. But living with incumbrances isn’t God’s plan for us. @donnalhsmith #transition #refreshingstreams #amwriting TWEETABLE
Transitions—Part 2
Posted on April 16, 2019 2 Comments
The number 11 has been associated with transition. You know, when you look at your clock, and you see 11:11, whether it’s a.m. or p.m. It’s transition time. Synonyms for transition are change, changeover, evolution, conversion, and shift. We’re always in some sort of transition. Every day is a new day. New mercies, new opportunities, […]
Transitions—Part 1
Posted on April 9, 2019 Leave a Comment
Things are changing for me. For the last five years, I’ve focused on writing Christian fiction alone. Later this year or early 2020, I hope to launch an inner healing ministry called Refreshing Streams. Stay tuned. God has been stirring my heart to help others by bringing inner healing to life’s hurts. #transitions #refreshingstreams @donnalhsmith […]
Rejection Issues Revised — Part VII Healing Attention v. Invisibility
Posted on April 3, 2019 Leave a Comment
If a person with rejection issues wants to be invisible—that’s when they need love and gentle attention. Love is really the key to healing rejection. God’s love and the love of people. #rejectionissues #rejectionsymptoms #rejectionhope TWEETABLE
Rejection Issues Revised — Part VI Attention v. Invisibility
Posted on April 2, 2019 Leave a Comment
Another symptom of rejection I had: the longing for attention vs. the desire to be invisible. That’s a dichotomy to be sure. It has to do with who you’re with. Are you with people you know who will love and accept you unconditionally—or with those you don’t know? #rejectionissues #rejectionsymptoms #rejectionhope TWEETABLE
Healing from Jealousy & Envy — Rejection Issues REVISED Part V
Posted on March 27, 2019 Leave a Comment
Rejected people are selfish by nature. Because we need to have acceptance. When we get something we want, we feel that’s when people accept us. When we’re denied, we’ve been rejected. #rejectionissues #rejectionsymptoms #rejectionhope TWEETABLE

Are you jealous of what others have? Do you long to have more than you do? Have you ever acted on those feelings of envy? Can you be happy for someone else who got what you wanted? #rejectionissues #rejectionsymptoms #rejectionhope TWEETABLE
Apology Demand? — Rejection Issues Revisited Part IV
Posted on March 20, 2019 Leave a Comment
I found this post from 2015. It published a week or so after my “Please Get Your Facts Straight” post — the highest viewed post in one day I’d ever had. What was the right thing to do? You tell me. Do you demand an apology for those who have hurt you? @donnalhsmith #rejectionissues #rejectionsymptoms […]

Rejection Issues Revised — Part II
Posted on March 12, 2019 Leave a Comment
Last week I talked about anger, and how an emotional wound of rejection feels—paper cut vs. knife to the heart. How do we get past this? That’s what this series is all about. We need to release anger in a “healthy” non-destructive way. In order to do that we cannot carry the anger around with […]
