a bit of history

happy anniversary.

You are my portion, O LORD; I have promised to obey your words. I have sought your face with all my heart; be gracious to me according to your promise. Psalm 119:57-8

This is my first anniversary.  One year ago this week I hit the publish button for the first post here on my blog.  I have to say I’m sort of surprised.  I didn’t know I would have a year’s worth to share.

When it all began I promised my Heavenly Father I would only continue as long as He prompted me to share. Honestly, I think I was hoping He would stop impressing my heart. But He hasn’t.  And so – I continue on the journey! Daily Portion Year 2.

Because of this blog, I have realized just how far I have to go.  But more than that, I have come to know that I have a Heavenly Father who is relentlessly pursuing me, working the fertile soil of my heart, and growing the beautiful fruit of His Spirit  as only He can.

Thank you my Heavenly Father for calling my name, for helping me listen and obey.  My life is nothing if I don’t see you in every nook and cranny. You are my portion.  all day. every day.  I love you.  Thank you for loving me.
