I LOVE facebook!

So... not long ago I wrote a post comparing blogging with facebook. I said I like blogging a lot better. Well, today I'm changing my mind.

When I originally joined facebook I did it to snoop on my kids. Now it's perfectly acceptable for parents to be on there. Some of my kids' friends have requested to be my friend. Okay, just a few but let me tell you how excited that makes me today. This morning I was looking at Katie's (who we've known since preschool) facebook page and noticed she had one of the Scripture verses I was memorizing on her sidebar. At first I thought I made a mistake until I went back to my page. Then I noticed it was on hers! I made a comment about it and she responded to me today...

":) you're to thank. I started Bible study after reading your blog."

Um... excuse me? You have NO idea what that did to me. I got the chills immediately. I didn't even know she knew I had a blog let alone read it!!

I was thinking back to the time I was embarrassed to tell anyone I knew that I had a blog. Actually, after Katie's comment I'm glad I have become a little more bold. If anything I write could help just one girl want to buy a Bible (and study it) it's worth it to me. ALL of the credit goes to God! Let me say that again... All of the credit goes to God! Her comment made my day, my week, my year! So it's official.

I LOVE facebook!



I'm SO happy!

Praise God! That is awesome!

I gave up facebook for lent, so have not been on there for weeks. It was pretty difficult at first, but it's getting easier as the days go by.

So glad to hear your praise. God is good, all the time, even when we don't know what He is up to, and can't see His hand. God is good all the time!!!! (reminding myself:) What an encouragement this must of been to you!

Love,
Nicole

What a good reminder that we never know who might be watching us and whose lives we have touched. Every now and then we get a glimpse of what heaven will be. It makes me happy, too! Great story, glory to God. Love, A

That is so precious...and powerful. It proves we never know what impact we have on others...impacts we will never know about.

I know what you mean about feeling embarrassed. I'm no longer embarrassed but I just wish it wasn't called a blog. Sometimes I call it my website. It truly is a ministry for me and it's not about sharing what I ate for breakfast or when I pottied. I have a post coming soon in a couplel weeks about my blog birth.

Thanks for reminding us to tarry on because we never know our impact or influence.
Love,
P
