Did You Know?

Did you know the 39 days were over? Did you know I only wrote 8 posts?

Did you know that every post of this blog in the 39 days had at least one reader? Did you know one post reached a readership high point of six people?

Did you know I received the first comment ever on a post in those 39 days? Did you know I am excited?

I may not have set the world on fire with my public failures, simple thoughts, and low readership numbers, but I did gain ground in my walk with the Lord.

Just yesterday Joyce Meyer's chapter was on gaining ground little by little. She quoted Deuteronomy 7:22.

And the Lord your God will clear out those nations before you, little by little, you may not consume them quickly, lest the beasts of the field increase among you.

She says that that is the secret of a victorious Christian life - inching forward over months and years. That is humbling and encouraging. If you make a mistake, get up to try it again.

Blog. Blog. Blog. I had 31 days of failure. Six people, do you hear me? I made mistakes, but God loves me anyway and helps me get back on the right track.

And here is what I am adding to her lesson  ... Don't disdain others who are not making progress at your pace. Remember we are all behind Jesus in that! Pride is a nasty beast that will consume each one of us. Beware!
