O Sovereign Lord, Let those that are united to me in tender ties be precious in thy sight and devoted to thy glory. Sanctify and prosper my domestic devotion, instruction, discipline, example, that my house may be a nursery for heaven.
(From The Valley of Vision)
What a powerful prayer! How easily I get distracted from my job of being a homemaker, How quickly I forget that this just isn't a home, but a haven and a santuary for those who enter. I want my home to be a mission field and a place of refuge from the raging world outside. I believe, by God's grace, my home can bring glory to Him and reveal His majesty to all who enter. Wouldn't that be an incredible blessing from the Almighty?

I know you don't know me... but I randomly found your blog through Lauren Reynolds. We went to college together and you are one of the links on her page. Anyways... I wanted to catch up on her life, so I started reading. And then I got interested in what other people have written. (Blogging is so new to me!) So I started clicking away... and I find you. Crazy how you can get sucked into things on the internet huh?
Anyways, this may seem kinda weird, but the Lord has used your blog in my life many times. It's even encouraged me to start my own. (Which I LOVE by the way.)
So I just want to say Thanks! I feel like I know you. They way you write makes me want to be your friend. It encourages me. Thanks again!
(You don't have to put this comment on your page. I just wanted to you know how God is using you. I hope you're not offended.)
