Can I Save You Some Time?

It’s a fact. I have a proclivity for discovering newfangled ways of redeeming my time—perhaps to a fault.
It’s also a fact that I assume everyone else wants to make the most of their time as well (just ask Brian after I discover a shortcut to our destination…on second thought, don’t).
This is one of those times.
Feedburner emails me a detailed account of my blog hits every week. I barely notice. Numbers have never been my focus. Last week, however, my curiosity was piqued—so, I peeked. I noticed the visits per day rate three times higher than the amount of actual “followers” (those who sign up to have each post delivered directly to their email account). Now, I personally don’t care for that term, but there is an advantage to becoming a follower.
If you visit often (thank you!), you can simply type in your email address (see Feedburner in side bar) and say Goodbye! to bookmarking, checking back, or typing in the blog address. It’s a tremendous time saver. Your email address is not shared with anyone and you can unsubscribe at any time.
Regardless of how you choose to stop by, know that I am delighted and honored to be on this journey with you.
Loveliest Indeed

My Friday Fave

My most recent favorite find is this handcrafted birdhouse, picked up at a nearby church rummage sale.
The rim of Robin’s Egg blue first caught my attention, but I was taken in by the shabby tin roof, the heaviness of the piece, and a little tag still attached to it’s steeple announcing it once sat in a Michigan gallery.
Handcrafted, shabby, and money marked for missions. What more could a girl ask for?
Wordless Wednesday – My Secret Garden
Say “Yes!” to God
At 8:00 p.m. tonight I’m saying “no” to:
- T.V
- Fluffing the spoiled dog
- Editing the Christmas e-book
- Reading the latest issue of The Writer’s Chronicle
…so that I can say “Yes to God” by joining Lysa TerKeurst and Ann Voskamp (author of One Thousand Gifts!) for their combined Webcast on the subject of what it means to say “Yes!” to God.
Lysa will be speaking on external obedience and the 5 questions to ask yourself when you think God might be speaking to you. Ann’s message will be about internal obedience and positioning your heart to experience God. Then they’ll come together to answer questions sent in through Twitter.
Registration is simple. It’s one hour. And free.
What are you willing to say “no” to tonight—so that you can say “Yes!” to God?
