Internationally Read

There is a feature on Blogger that allows you to see who your audience is. It doesn't include names or anything, but it includes the countries that are being reached.

Up until sometime very recently, the only country I've been reaching is the United States (which of course makes sense). Today when I checked, I have Russia and Germany on there too! :) I am being read internationally!

After I rekindled my blog after so long, I was very surprised at the number of people who viewed it. It was TREMENDOUS reinforcement. I can't tell you how happy it made me that night when I saw that I had over fifty views in one day. I was going to write another blog about it, but I couldn't find the words.

I'm thankful that I found the word "international" when I saw my dashboard today! I just wanted to thank whoever it is that is reading this. I have found that writing this has really kept my eye on God and what He would have me do. I've started listening to Spirit FM again. I stopped when I kind of lost touch last semester.

Feeling the desire to start this again and then having all of that reinforcement for doing so has truly been a humongous blessing in my life.

So thank you all for that.

Here's a small update since it has been a little while since my last post.

Thursday was SUCH a long day. At least, it felt like it. I can't really even remember what I did. I do remember, however, that I was just in a lousy mood. Nothing was going to be okay. Everything was going wrong, at least, it felt like it.

I was driving somewhere, and all of a sudden a song came on the radio that actually made me smile. (Trust me, that was a HUGE deal on Thursday). I tweeted the lyrics "Hallelujah, you carry me every day, you carry me to the cross."

After a quick search just now, I realize that those aren't exact, but they get the point across. The song is Carry me to the Cross by Kutless. In that second, I just knew that everything was going to be okay. I didn't have to be superwoman and do everything by myself. God was and is there to help me in everything that He would have me do. He is enough help--even if someone cancels on me and the job just seems ridiculous for one person, God is enough help. He will provide in some way.

This afternoon, James and I definitely experienced some of God's provision. After about a week of praying for James' summer job search to be fruitful, he received a call from Wal-Mart for the Lawn Center! He was so excited for the opportunity and was happy that it was in a section that he would actually enjoy.

Praises for a God who provides!!

Please be in prayer for his interview! It is Monday at 11:00 AM. :) We really appreciate it! Also, it would be nice if he could start after we return from a week at home, but getting the job is the main thing of course! :)

Thank you all for your encouragement (direct and indirect)--it means a ton!

Last thing--listen to the song! :) It's great encouragement on those long days!
