Facebook, a gift from--God!

I wrote this blog last night, Tuesday April 27.  For some reason I didn't feel I should post it last night...


God is a good God.   I've heard it over and over and everytime I've replied either "Yes He is" or "All the time" sometimes a simple "Amen".  But each time I've believed it.
So what does He have to do with facebook...
Well, I am a stay at home mom, some days it seems that I am not at home as much as I my title implies I should be.  But, you know I do what I've got to do.... okay I really do what I like to do, which I believe is what I am suppose to be doing at the time.  Don't get me wrong there are those days that I am doing things that I don't like or want to do, but I do them and when I do them with a glad heart I always enjoy myself.
I honestly believe God is touching my life by using facebook.  No I am not talking about the bounty of Farmville.... I am talking about the doors that have opened to people who I haven't talked to in too long, or some doors to people I remember and I knew but I know them on a new level, and have a new relationship with them now because of facebook.
Seriously, there is a one person that was in high school with me.  I knew her, but never really knew her.  Now, I know her, I know her heart, her concerns, what she loves... and it is such a blessing.

Then there is a person who lives far away, who I honestly have always cared about but didn't know very well.... how do I care about them but not know them?  We are related...okay---  I have gotten to know this person and have laughed so much; if you do not know me, I LOVE to laugh... I love to make you laugh, laughter is so energizing...it brings such a sense of revival within me.
Today, I get a message from someone I have wondered about for years (from my high school years)...' do you remember?' they ask, why of course I remember. . . and what a skip in my step it brought.  I am anxious to get to know them again...
This doesn't even touch on those who are believers, and hear from the Lord and then post what they feel God is telling/teaching them.... how amazing is that?  To be able to hear and see what God is showing others all around the world, well okay it's country for now.   But, I see God taking these people out into the world...

I get to talk to my family whether near or far.  New friends, dear friends, past friends, they all become present friends.   And I do NOT take any of them lightly... I do NOT throw the word "friend" around without merit or weight.   Sure, I have my "go to" friends the ones I can email pictures of shoes to when I need help deciding... Or call to cry with, but then they are the same friend I will call and rejoice with... I have friends who I can share and learn things about our Lord; I have others that I can share my Lord with.   (This is me, the person who was so lonely... missing that 'friend' who got me, and even if she didn't get me at the moment she had my back....)
I look at my life, and see a fields of beautiful flowers, blowing gently in the wind... I stand and feel the wind blow through my hair, I close my eyes and smell the beauty of it all... in wonderment of all that God has blessed me with.   And best of all, I see with my spirit what more God has for me... it's there and as long as I keep my eyes on Him; FIXED on Him, there is no limit to what He has for me...


Okay.... remember what I said?  "There is no limit for what He has for me..." Wow what a declaration...and how did He prove that to me today, Wednesday April 28 at 11 pm.  A must read is my blog "Debbie!?! (From Across the Street)

  1. I know how you feel my friend! Facebook, blogging and twittering allow me to express myself and my witness to people like I never have been able to before. It actually makes it easier in public now! I love you girl!
