You've Touched My Heart!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Some of my dear friends have posted and some have expressed in person to me how they are enjoying this blog. It never occurred to me that my love of writing would come out on a blog. I keep a journal and when I give a card, I always write a little extra in there. Generally, that's the extent of it.

I suppose the real reason I started this is because, yes, I love to write, but also, when friends, family and acquaintances ask "how are you?" truly, how many people what the REAL answer! And if they do, well, give me three hours of your time, and I'll tell you! Not only that, I feel like such a broken record! There just seems to be so much I need to get out and this is a great outlet! Try it! I'd love to read your blogs too!

The thought too, had come to me that just maybe, God would find a way to use this blog for His glory. For kingdom building. Yesterday in church we sang a song that has the line:

"and the cry of my heat is to bring you praise from the inside out."

That song, among many, moves me to tears because if there is ONE thing that I get, it's that line. So often I pray, 'God, how is this going to glorify You? How is my life going to count for eternity in my four walls with my 3 girls and my husband that I have been entrusted with, here, in my little prairie community?'

And so, my new prayer is about this blog:

"Lord, I know that I'm writing primarily for me, but God, could you direct it to someone who needs to hear about YOU! Could You direct it to someone who can read through all my shortcomings and blogging blunders and see Your awesomeness? Please, please,please, let them see You and not me. Thank You for what You can do with all this amazing technology!"

...just found the spell check! Now I won't annoy those spelling freaks out there with my bumbling typing. See? Look what God does with all this technology! LOL
