come follow me.... @megduerksen i don't know how to tell you to follow me yet....i am too new!!
i was the last to go on at Blog Sugar.
i thought my heart might jump out of my chest.
i think you could see it pounding.
and i knocked my GINORMO earring out of my ear first thing....and then tried to put it back in...i got it.
i calmed down about halfway through....
i think.
i did cry.
it was sad stuff i was talking about though so that is to be expected.
i told the group about when God rocked my little blog world and showed me so clearly that He wanted me to blog for HIM and not myself...to be bold and OPEN about my faith.
it was during the Cora Playground Fundraiser.
recounting those memories was hard and definitely hard to talk about out loud.
but it was the story He wanted me to tell.
also that our blogs are a modern way of preaching on a hill like in the bible like the disciples did.
we get to speak to a crowd of people everyday.
i said "you have a plan that is unique to YOU....that God made for only YOU....created by HIM and for this......that NO ONE else can fulfill but YOU."
all the glory to God that he would take a kansas girl in sparkle shoes all the way to Cali to share the gospel.
:)
