ENCOURAGEMENT

The Lord always knows what we need at just the right time! I will be honest with all of you, I have been a tad discouraged lately. Satan is so good at trying to trip us up in our Christian walk. I have made the verse in 1Corinthians my goal for this year. Not to focus on things seen for they are temporary, but to focus on things unseen for they are eternal. It seems like the more I try to keep eterninty in my view, the more Satan trys to blur my vision.
But, today I was so encouraged when I saw the comments from friends that I haven't seen or talked to for quite some time. I needed to know there were people out there that remembered me, and still cared for me, and that experience the same kind of trials.
I'm new to this whole blog thing, and it was a little scary starting something like this. It has turned out to be such a huge blessing that God had in store for me all along [right, Donnette? :)] But, it has been so much fun getting re-aquainted with everyone. I have been encouraged by your comments and blessed by what you have to offer each day through your blogs. I feel as if we have a network of support through one another. Even though we are miles a part, and though it has been ages since we have all been together, and even though we may not have been super close friends, we are all able to encourage, support, laugh and cry with each other through this network; we are united through Christ and we are all a family in Him. Thank you to all who have posted comments; it made my day! I look forward to seeing how God will bring us all closer to Him through each other!
