Celebrate

Today I finally got everything up to date for my Blog! After 140 daily entries and 4 1/2 months, this is the first entry actually posted on the day I wrote it.

May 19

I wish you could see my smile. Tomorrow I should be able to make it go live, for the world to see. I'm not really sure anyone will want to read any of this, and that's okay. God asked me to write every day where I see Him, so that is what I am doing. The Blog is just to keep me accountable. I know I need to post every day and so I will. If I simply did this in my journal it would be easy to get behind and then try to get caught up after a few days. God wants me to be consistent, and so do I. The daily looking for Him, and the daily writing is doing a lot in me. This idea of looking for God every day and writing it down is helping to shape my life. As I have looked back over what I wrote and the ways He has moved in my life, I am awed. So today, as I was finishing my posts my husband gave me two letters, from two different friends. One was just a card to say hi, I'm thinking of you. The other was from my best friend in Florida. She made me a Pocket Prayer Quilt, and told me it was to remind me that God loves me and so does she. It is a tiny quilt with a cross inside to slip into your pocket. The message attached said, Throughout the day when your fingers touch the cross inside the quilt, be mindful of God's love and grace for you. Keep it as a tangible symbol of God's peace. So today as I finally wrapped things up, and got caught up, God sent me a gift. He sent me a reminder that He loves me. I haven't talked to a lot of people about what I am doing with this blog, honestly, it makes me a bit nervous. The few friends I have mentioned it to, it was just in passing, so I really didn't have anyone to celebrate with. But God knew. He knew this was a big moment for me, and He wanted to celebrate it with me and mark it with a gift. What sweet timing.
