If you’re friends with me on Twitter or follow the blog via Facebook, you probably noticed it was pretty quiet on both fronts this weekend.
Last week came to a crash on Wednesday afternoon – nothing major happened, but I had just reached a breaking point.
I tweeted: “I think I might just run away… #itsbeenoneofthosedays”.
Within minutes, I had tweets of encouragement and prayers coming my way. My community of friends on Twitter reached out and picked me up – they let me know I wasn’t alone. They reminded me that I was loved and treasured – by them and by God. They helped me to gain a fresh perspective on my day – encouraging me to give it all to God.
What a blessing!
Within the half hour, I was feeling better – refreshed and reenergized. But I knew that it was only temporary. I needed to spend some quality time with God and offline.
Thus, the absence of a post on Thursday, and my absence on social media over the weekend. (And today’s late post.)
I refused to turn on my computer at all on Thursday (iPad and iPhone only), and I continued that “offline” status until I had the kids down for naps this afternoon.
I spent most of Thursday morning soaking up God – reading an encouraging devotional guide/book and spending time laying it all down at His feet. Friday afternoon until this morning I spent time out of town with family.
And now, I’m back – refreshed and reenergized. Ready to share encouragement from the Word of God with you again. Ready to encourage you to live intentionally by faith everyday.
