God’s Humor.


I can’t wait to get to heaven to fully experience God’s sense of humor. 
As I have said before…I am a non-writer in this gifted world of blogging. 
School and especially English was never my strong suite.
I almost did not get out of freshman English…when I taught school, a fellow teacher had to read over my reports before they were sent out. (I had a brave principal…she saw past my weaknesses so I could  teach young kids with learning disabilities).

So stepping out into the blog world is a bit…more than a bit of a stretch for me.
 At times, I feel myself wanting to retreat…
and then this non-writer blogger gets asked guest post.

To be honest I wasn’t going to post today…life is very, very busy right now…
since I am not a prolific writer ,
I can’t easily write what might be going on in my heart. 
I can pour it out in my journal…the audience of One...
but here…my heart stirring don’t flow so easily…
and I can’t muster up something to write about.

So back to God’s sense of humor…I wake up and check mail…
There is an email from a dear blogger asking if I would consider guest posting.
 my first response when this happens is “are they kidding?”
Then I get on Google reader…just going to enjoy reading others today.
 Surprise…there I am over at Jen’s place…Finding Heaven.
 I forgot …she is posting one of my blog post today.

I may not be sure of my writing here…but what I do know is…
this blog community is a sweet place to be…
full of kind and amazing ladies…ladies who desire to grow and mature in Christ.
I am encouraged here…challenged here…and loved here. 
For these reasons alone…I want to stay here.

Thank you sweet sisters…join me today @ Jen’s.

Also linking up at Emily @ Imperfect Prose and Jennifer @ God-Bumps.  \

p.s.  excuse the missed errors…most of the time my sweet husband checks for mistakesJ

  1. I'm always reminding myself that it's not about what I bring to the table but what God chooses to use, so I totally get your amazement, Ro. But you always have such beautiful and profound words to share with all of us. I'm so glad that you're being faithful to His calling!

  6. My husband finds my errors, too. I was a chemistry major and only took the required English course. Sometimes I think my blog reads like a HS essay, but I persevere. I'm so glad you found a comfortable place in the blogosphere and you are thriving. :)

  8. Are you kidding? You are a writer, I enjoy everything I have ever read from you. But I understand. I am NOT a writer, and think it's crazy that anyone would read anything of mine, but when God says do something, I have learned to do it! Yes, this blogging world is full of amazing people, loving, and encouraging and thoughtful. . .I think I will stay too:)
    Going over to Jen's to read more of you now.
