200 Blogs And Counting, Who Knew?

Starter, that is where I am strong. Brilliant ideas and a great start comes natural to me, but follow through is where it all falls apart. Vitamins, diet plans, exercise, lesson plans (okay, mums the word on lesson plans) all of these I start with great intentions and then my enthusiasm begins to fade, sometimes slowly and sometimes with a big thunk! So it is pretty amazing that here I sit writing my 200th blog since January. Guess God can move mountains cuz here I am still writing.

This blog was started with an amazing teen who needed an alternative activity to the addiction of cutting but it morphed into an incredible gift to me and hopefully to those who are reading along the way. Writing memories about my kids helped me share with Ryan before he died some fun stories from his childhood. It has allowed me a way to share my faith and has grown my faith and walk with God with each post. Processing Ryan's death through the words God placed in my heart made it so much easier because it kept me focused on Him and the blessings through the pain.

So with this 200th blog, God is pushing me toward the next step. Researching where to submit this God given gift with someone who can show me what else should be done with these words. Of course, my fear is that nothing will come of it. But you know, I never thought I would be sitting here in September with 200 blogs on the web. God made it happen, I just was here to be blessed by it.

Please pray for me to have a boldness to pursue whatever God's plan is for me and my little blog. I will try to have courage and comfort that he has a plan all I have to do is let Him.

In Him,
Joyful
