Who, me?!

Good morning!

Sometimes I have to wonder why I get to be so blessed! I have struggled along pitifully at many stages in my life, but right now, I feel like I'm more than blessed than I can cope with!  Last night, we had a small group meeting in my home, and I found myself thinking, "Wow, we've been meeting for over a year and I feel so safe, loved and at home with the ladies in my group, plus the Word becomes so much more real to me as we study it together." I think, "How can this be happening to me?! It's the first small group I've attended, I'm the co-leader and it is so rewarding. Why me?!"

I'm also grateful for this blog. I struggle to see the need for yet another blog, but when I first stumbled across Sean Neblett's page, Lofty Studios, I felt moved to create a chronicle of my own journeying with God.  Since I started, I've barely posted - like, less than once bimonthly!  One of my main struggles was that I felt like I needed to have something really extra special to write - plus the time to edit it to perfection.  But just a few days ago I was invited to join a Bible-reading accountability group on facebook. After a few days of writing a few lines each day about what I'd read and learned, I realised that I could blog in exactly the same way.  So... if my posts are grammatically strange, painfully long or somehow else strange... well, yeah :-)  I'm particularly grateful, because I so much wanted to post more often and I feel like God made it doable!

I'm feeling blessed to have a super techie husband who stayed up last night to get this new template working, too.  (If you like it, feel free to comment, so that I can pass on the thanks to him! ;-)

And lastly... I am so blessed TODAY by an unexpected early wake up and an awesome time of discovery in 1 Corinthians 4. But more about in my longer post that below.

Talk soon... be blessed!

P.s seriously, His love is way better than anything else life could ever offer!

YES! LOVE the layout.. :) very beautiful...
How true... I've often have thought of starting one of these but then I guess i would fret if ppl have commented or not!!! So I've decided not to & then there's no disappointment! lol
Thank you for sharing though, I'll also continue sharing in our other 'blog/group' "Good Morning Girls"
Love & Blessings!

Hey Mabel!! thanks for that - my husband was asking if anybody had commented on the new layout, so now I can say yes!! haha

It's true there are times when I check too often for comments, and they tend to be rare... (facebook groups are so much better in that way - people respond! there's a real sense of sharing and community) BUT somehow I feel moved to keep this blog, just as an offering to God... that maybe He wants to use it to bless someone else in their journey.

Anyhow, thanks so much for the thoughts - and for commenting! I hope we get to meet sometime!! :-)
