Ultimately, it is God, of course.
However, there are people God placed in my life who have given me such support in the darkest hours of my life since my son died in 2005. One friend literally set up my first blog for me to make me write and write and write. I've had several encouragers who commented, and even one dear benefactor who paid for my internet connection to keep me writing. Two ladies gave me computers to keep me up to date with the systems. And there were others...
Last night, one of those friends sent me the video song below and it brought to mind when we first met on the internet... here on my blog. She was my first real commenter. She has always been such an instrument of encouragement and affirmation. She's seen every ugly thing about me. My weaknesses and brokenness, my ups and several spiritual mountain tops. She's bathed my world in prayer. When she shared this song with me, it touched my heart for all those times I felt like giving up. God knew. He knew me far better than anyone in the world. And I am so grateful I am here writing to you today because of my friends, my readers, and my LORD.
