Back at it...

Dear friends,
I am so grateful for each of you.  Though a LONG time has passed since I created this blog, without a single post, your challenges and wise words to me on my birthday have been transforming my days.  I’m trying to be careful not to let your the list loom over me as a “to-do” list, and instead let your words penetrate my heart, and let God guide me as I respond.  I have been finding great joy in re-reading your letters, and letting God move in me through your words.  Thank you!  The journey thus far has been a little different than I pictured.  I thought I would complete one challenge at a time, and post an update.  What is happening instead is that many of your challenges are working their way into my day-to-day, and I’m finding myself working on and processing a lot of them at the same time.  I long for the words to express what it has meant to me.  The last few years of my life have been filled with so many blessings, but also with loneliness.  God has met me in such a real way through your letters, and I have been reminded of the countless friendships I have all over the world, of how I am known and loved, and I have been encouraged and spurred on.   I’m going to start posting an update a week.  I’ll catch you up on some of the things I’ve already checked off the list, one at a time.  I am super excited about this next part of the journey!  Thank you love and friendship.
