Then gather the courage to go and do great things. Get alone with God, let Him show the realness of who you are and who He is in you. 'And he gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses. Here is a man he had never met an obscure desert priest and shepherd, who had spent a lifetime raising sheep (and daughters) in the desolate patch of land known as Midian. 'Moses was willing to dwell with the man.' How good that is. If you have been there like I have and you find yourself in an obscure place, it just may be the best thing that you could ever experience. Pay close attention to that last sentence. Even if it’s teaching a Bible study at our church or filling in for my pastor/husband while he is overseas, may I find myself willing for the task at hand. I don’t know what that will look like or what all that will entail but my spirit is full and I feel like I have something to say. I can tell you today that I am getting there and after two and a half years I am ready to move forward again. I needed to learn the value of what I do again and I needed to regain a passion for it. I love my prayer times with the Lord but will wait at times until everyone leaves the house because I can tend to be a bit of a wailer in prayer. God then began to take me deeper: deeper in prayer, deeper in the Word and learning to experience His presence in a fresh, new way. I have always been an extrovert by nature but I found myself wanting to be alone and away from people and crowds. Honestly, I really feel like God was having me walk through a journey of shutting down, not being so public and learning to please only Him for a season. But still, I just sat down and quit and other than doing just a couple of events and churches that I new already loved me, I no longer looked to fill dates. Now when you spend thousands of dollars in recording a new project, quitting is something that you don’t consider because you have to pay for the thing. Trying to “get yourself out there” and speak and sing in such a way that pleases people just became too hard and I just quit. All of a sudden I had a sense of “I don’t want to do this anymore”. It happened a few years ago, I had just released a new CD and should have been focusing on getting bookings and being on the road and all of the business that comes with music and speaking ministry life. But, I have also experienced a season where God led me to a place of obscurity and anonymity. Have you ever been led to the place obscurity? Where life or career has caused you to be so disappointed that you felt yourself drawing away to a place of obscurity? I know that I certainly have. Sean's character was created to replace Charlie, after all, with many of the preplanned Shameless season 5 story elements for Jeffrey Dean Morgan carrying over to Dermot Mulroney.The state of being unknown, inconspicuous, or unimportant. However, it's likely that the role Sean ended up playing in Shameless would be more-or-less identical to Charlie's if Jeffrey Dean Morgan hadn't left the show. There's never been an official explanation given for what happened to Charlie Peters, who Jeffrey Dean Morgan played in Shameless, and since the role wasn't recast there's been speculation about where his arc could have gone. The Shameless writers had plans for Jeffrey Dean Morgan's character, and many viewers have wondered what his narrative arc would have been. However, Jeffrey Dean Morgan's role on Shameless wasn't intended to be a cameo from an up-and-comer. Either way, Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Shameless exit is odd when looking from the outside in, but it makes sense after the star's explanation.Ĭurrently, Jeffrey Dean Morgan has two major small screen roles on his horizon - co-leading the upcoming TWD spinoff The Walking Dead: Dead City as Negan, and a role in season 4 of Amazon's hit show The Boys. While it's a pity it didn't work out, Morgan's star would soon rise even further in 2016 thanks to The Walking Dead and his Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice cameo as Thomas Wayne. When it was clear that scheduling conflicts between the two shows were too big a burden to bear, Charlie was written out and his arc assigned to new character Sean Pierce (Dermot Mulroney), who took over as Fiona's boss and love interest at Patsy's Pies. Fortunately for Jeffrey Dean Morgan, backing the wrong horse wasn't a huge career setback in this instance. Texas Rising only lasted for one season in 2015, whereas Shameless run until its final season in 2021. The Texas Rising miniseries features Bill Paxton and Ray Liotta, and it's a History Channel show based on the Texas Revolution against Mexico. Sadly, as Jeffrey Dean Morgan himself would later explain, his filming schedule for the miniseries Texas Rising prevented him from returning to Shameless despite both productions trying to make it work.
