500th Post
Hooray! I have finally made it to my 500th post! I was hoping that when I did reach this point that I would have something very profound to share with you all. But, alas, I have nothing that is even slightly profound. What I do know is that I have enjoyed this new portion of my life known as blogging. When I started blogging eleven months ago I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I have been hurt, discouraged and forced to look more deeply at who I am. Though most painful, this has stretched me and caused me to grow. But I have also made many friends along the way. They have encouraged me, spurred me on and challenged me which has also caused me to grow. The Lord is actively at work in my life and I have a peace that passes all understanding. I have been allowed to be a blessing to others and the Lord continues to open new doors of ministry for me in the blogging world. This adds a great responsibility I did not anticipate and is one I constantly feel ill-equipt to fulfill. I am humbled each time I am praised because I know that it is only by the power of the Spirit that anyone is touched.
I thank the Lord for providing my small space in blogland to reach out to others. I thank each of my readers for your encouragement, friendship, and faithfulness. May the Lord bless you and keep you. May I be obedient and faithful to continue to blog about the things God has laid upon my heart and let that bring glory to Him.
I pray you all continue on with me for my next 500 posts and that many more would join in here along the way.

I would give you two verses.
Jesus tells us in John 15:5 “I am he vine, you are the branches, He wo abides in Me, aI in him bears much fruit: For without Me you can do nothing.”…none of us are equiped to do anything worhwhile unless Christ dwell in us.
Phillipians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ wh strengthens me.”
So, it’s all or nothing. The choice is ours. If we deny Christ, nothing we do has any eternal value, but if we accept Him as our Lord and Savior, we can accomplish His plan for our lives as long as we surrender control of our life to Him. Something tells me you surrender control more often than not.

500… that’s a good number. I think I’m at 360 or something. I have to keep track better.
Have a great friday night.
It’s pizza night at our house.
