Don’t you love it when a surprise God connection happens?
Through one of my Google alerts I had set-up, I came to discover that Blogs by Christian Women was looking for a blogger/design manager, while one of their bloggers was leaving for an 8-month mission trip in Dominican Republic. After poking around the blog and reading all of the great stories women were sharing, I decided to send the ladies an email saying I was interested.
After having been away on vacation for a few days, I came back just one day before my response to their questionnaire was due. And I ALMOST did not send in my response. That little unwelcomed companion called BUT attempted to travel along with me. Yet I refused to allow him to occupy the driver’s seat this time.
Although I hit the gas by sending out my reply email, I still had my doubts. Expecting to hear a dear John letter when I received their follow-up email, I was delightfully surprised to read that the ladies were inviting me to join the BCW team. You should have seen my happy dance, as I read the welcome aboard email.
And once I again I stood amazed at how the random loose dots become connected by all knowing God. He does far more than what I can think or imagine!
Would you come by and visit me at Blogs by Christian Women? And while you there read some of the great articles shared by other ladies in the BCW community? Oh, I have one other small request friends. The goal of BCW is to connect, inspire and encourage fellow Christian Women Bloggers. I’m so honored that God connected me to each of you in this blogging journey. You inspire and encourage me and I would love for you to consider guest posting for Blogs by Christian Women. See I told you it was a small request.
