It’s exciting to realize that this past weekend marked my 3rd Blogiversary! My very first post was on June 17th, 2015 and probably had my longest title, “EVEN BEFORE HE MADE THE WORLD, GOD LOVED US AND CHOSE US…” It is beginning of Ephesians 4:1 and is still my favorite verse. In the eyes of God we are so very much “more than useless” and as the verse above states, even before God made the sun to shine for the very first time, the first drop of water, the first blade of grass, the first porcupine, He loved us AND He chose us. Simply AMAZING!!!
We are not mistakes! We are not one giant “oops”! We are here for a purpose. We are special and we are unique! God put you exactly where you are for a reason. And He will walk beside you all the way.
Over this last three years, I have published 771 blogs that have had over 21,400 views from 102 countries! (There’s a list below if you’re interested. ) I realize that not every view from every country is someone who reads my post in its entirety. But…I also am a firm believer that some out there may have unintentionally landed on my blog but God had other things in mind.
I would ask that you, my readers – the intentional ones – that each day that you read my posts that you would pray for those who may inadvertently come upon what I have put out there. Beyond the blog website, of course, I also post on Facebook, as well as, Pinterest, Google+, StumbleUpon.com, and Twitter. I have had many views from countries that would in no way count themselves a Christian nation. Only God knows what He can accomplish! Pray that More than Useless would provide one more door by which God can touch people who so desperately need to know Him.
Also, if you are encouraged by what you read, share it! It takes one click to share on Facebook. Forward the link to a friend. Send it out! This is simply me sharing what God has laid upon my heart. If it speaks to you, it surely will speak to others.
Thank you all so much! I count you all as one of my congregations – the largest by far. I pray that you will continue to be encouraged. Hang in there! God loves you more than you can imagine and you are definitely more than useless!
