And thank you for leading me to Lisa's blog too. <BR/><BR/>My blog beginnings were originally about expression of self. I was going through some very difficult things and found that writing was therapeutic...never in a million years thought about anyone but close friends and family reading my blog. Since they know me, my periodic cynicism started out OK, but recently been convicted of how I represent my relationship with my Lord. This post brings it full circle. Thank you.<BR/><BR/>And thanks for the comment on my blog. LOL about Garth Brooks. I am not a country music fan at all and shocked myself at how star struck I was when I stood face to face with him. It was quite embarrassing. But, yes, he was SO nice and chatted with us for a good while. <BR/><BR/>Have fun this weekend!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06343708951811528611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058121308398464363.post-17737993132720580282008-06-16T21:16:00.000-05:002008-06-16T21:16:00.000-05:00My heart in blogging is to show Papa's heart...I p...My heart in blogging is to show Papa's heart...<BR/><BR/>I pray it is so.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for visiting my blog today and your sweet words.

I am a bit behind on my blogging because...I'm trying desperately to get ready for SheSpeaks! And VBS is this week at church, which takes some time and energy...but is so worth the investment. Anyway...You speak such truth. I think you honor Jesus tremendously with your writing, my friend. I cannot wait to meet you face to face and give you a big hug!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263995875732832349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058121308398464363.post-19656280208927274922008-06-16T20:49:00.000-05:002008-06-16T20:49:00.000-05:00Lelia,Girl, you have blessed me today.

I'll tell you... it touched my heart in ways I can't even describe. Truly.<BR/><BR/>Ours is a mutual affection society, friend -- I'm drawn to you and your blog, as well. I absolutely cannot wait to meet you this weekend! Be warned -- I'm a hugger and a squealer! :)<BR/><BR/>LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16078650219972404293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058121308398464363.post-90585215241839255992008-06-16T19:28:00.000-05:002008-06-16T19:28:00.000-05:00Oh my gosh!

It is referenced in my blog I just posted. It was in the sermon on TV I listen to while I was getting ready for church yesterday. It was also in the pastors message...hummmm...it calls me to examine my heart more thoroughly. I see an "ouch" coming here. <BR/><BR/>I can't wait to meet you dear blog friend!!!<BR/><BR/>In his Graces~PamelaPamela (His maidservant)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15611570804370035595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058121308398464363.post-88029549292934327872008-06-16T19:11:00.000-05:002008-06-16T19:11:00.000-05:00Great post Lelia, and a timely reminder.

The devil had me distracted for most of my time away. Although I saw amazing things, I was challenged emotionally by the hurtful words and attitudes of others and physically by health issues...not to mention homesickness. While I was away, I thought to myself, "How am I going to blog about this trip, and be truthful, and still honor God with my words?"......I still don't know the exact answer to that question, but I do know this....I will only focus on the blessings from this trip on my blog....I have given the devil far more attention than he deserves already......I will share some of the "rough" spots with humor, but I will not give the devil any more ammunition or attention than he already has. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, all that being said, I want my blog to honor God.....period.<BR/>Through the good times as well as the bad times....He is there!<BR/><BR/>I hope that people see Christ in my life; no matter what the circumstances may be.<BR/><BR/>I will definitely check out Lisa's blog.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing!<BR/>God Bless,<BR/>Amy:)Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05336144938479561819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058121308398464363.post-48455978322171652882008-06-16T14:29:00.000-05:002008-06-16T14:29:00.000-05:00Wow.

As a way for them to someday go back and read about our lives and prayerfully learn from mistakes or rejoice in good choices made. But the questions Lisa asked today makes me, more than ever, want to make sure I write responsibly and in a way that when my children read my blog someday, they will see how Jesus was at work in our everyday lives. Thanks so much for sharing.<BR/><BR/>Blessings and Happy Monday,<BR/>SandraSandra Garciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14507388627567748558noreply@blogger.com
