Today was a milestone day in the blogging world for me. Instead of saying my blog has reached 100 followers, may I instead say that it has reached over 100 supporters, encouragers, and friends.
That’s how I feel about you lovely people.
Going through this process of opening up my heart using words so that others can be encouraged has heaped encouragement upon my soul immensely. I’ve gained so many friends here who love on me, support me, encourage me, and pray for me without hesitation.
It’s been so utterly amazing, these deep connections gained through blogging, and I am honored and humbled beyond words….
Thank you and God bless each and every one of you.
Much love,
Viv
Most recent of my beautiful daughter and me. She helps to edit my blog as my TBI has affected certain writing skills of mine such as…. spelling. ;P
P.S. When my daughter edited the above comment, she informed me that I had spelled the word ‘spelling’ with three Ls.
Case and point, everyone.
Well, Viv, I’ve only known you for less than 24 hours. But from what I’ve read so far, I greatly appreciate you! To continue to praise the Lord through your situation and invite others to experience it with you is awesome. I certainly need that kind of strength. I’m proud to be in that 100 supporters! And thank you for being a support for me!

Congratulations Viv. Praise God for achieving this milestone. You are obeying the following commandment of the Lord. Hebrews 3:13 NASBS
But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on regular basis. God continue to use you.

Awww Lauren, thank you so much! You’ve been such a wonderful encourager, true blessing and great friend to me! I still remember the morning I got your very first messages in my comments…..you took the time to reach out to me and relate wisdom of what God has taught you to my heart. I remember getting teary eyed from the deep words of hope you passed onto me that day. Thank you dearest friend for helping me to seek God through His word like you do with such zeal for Him. Much love back my beautiful Aussie friend!! πππ€

Haha, no worries! You are not the first who has asked for a name. π I had one blogger who (jokingly) gave me a new T name every time he commented. Unfortunatedly, a newer blogger got confused from seeing the comment or just gave me a name. Teresa has been one of the first names many people think of. It isn’t right, but I do know someone with that name. π You’re a wonderful friend to me too!
