This is something I’ve never done in all the years I have been writing and posting here. I love that many of you have chosen to follow my blog, but we’ve never really connected. And, frankly, that’s been partly my own lack of belief in myself.
If you’ve read any of my personal story, you know that the truth of my worthiness and blessedness as God’s beloved child was beaten out of me by my mother long ago. Actually, for seventy-two years of my life I allowed others to rewrite the truth about myself. So many of us do that and then live an unfulfilled life, void of our true purpose that reflects the lies we have believed.
I love following the writings of people like Kate Bowler and others who inspire me. And what I have noticed about them is that they interact with their followers, who aren’t just “followers”, but new friends who don’t just give them a thumbs up when their writing strikes a positive cord, but are honest enough to call them a dumbass (in a kind way) when something they said didn’t land quite right.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think for a minute I am in the same catagory as all those amazing writers and that’s okay. I don’t have to be. I love writing and sharing how God contiually gives me that side-eyed, head shaking, what were you thinking? look when I screw-up.
So, all that to say, “I would LOVE your feed-back if you read something that resonates with you or have any suggestions on how to make it better, or want to meet for a cup of coffee, or name your first child after me. (Oops, sorry. Too much?).
And, finally, I thank you for following my work! I would be lying if I pretended it didn’t matter.
LOVE AND BLESSINGS to you all!
Linda
