My sweet pastors pointed out something from the pulpit on Sunday that caught me by surprise: One of the other folks on our media ministry team realized that I’ve written 1,000 devotionals, so they recognized my efforts with a round of applause. It was very kind and a little embarrassing (especially with my kids pointing at me to draw even more attention, LOL!).

It’s hard to wrap my head around 1,000 posts, but I started them in January 2011, so with 8 posts a week (2 on Sundays), it’s pretty close, give or take a few. I’m grateful, first of all, that y’all read anything I write. 🙂  I’m even more touched that the prompts are meaningful to folks and utterly blown away by the kind words that people have to say about what they’ve gotten from it.

I can’t help but write — it’s an extension of who I am, in a lot of ways — but seeing God use it is exquisitely gratifying and very humbling. So, here’s to 1,000 days of walking and growing together! The journey has been wearisome, at times, but it’s a joy to be on this adventure with each one of you. Thank you!
