Out into the world....

I do not know if you have seen the movie Julie&Julia yet but the movie is about a girl who cooks her way through Julia Childs cookbook in a single year and she blogs about it. There is one time that she talks about toward the beginning of starting her blog...she says how she feels like she is just sending her thoughts out into the world and no one even cares. A little while later in the movie she gets all excited about a comment on her blog until she finds out that the comment came from her mother. Well I have been blogging for a couple of months and was beginning to understand how she felt. The only person reading was my mother (who I love very very much) but now I have two more!!! For me this blog is not about how many people read on a daily basis but that one who stumbles across it in a time of need and finds something that God has done for me that helps them find hope in him. I know that God has really cool was a doing that and I hope that this blog could be that for someone. God places people and things in our lives in our times of need that help give us the strength to make it through that trial. They are like his little love notes that are hidden in your suitcase by your spouse when you are going to be away from them for a while. When you stumble across this note you are so overjoyed not only by what lies inside but also by the fact that someone loves you enough to plan ahead and send you their love. God is sending us little love notes all the time. So for those of you who are reading I hope you can find something that will strengthen you and I encourage the comments not for the sake of say I have a comment but because you can also strengthen me with your words and thoughts as well.
