My sweet 15 year old Hosanna wrote a powerful blog post this week:
Let me share an excerpt:
Here we are another time. Another day. Another post. But what is it all for?
Is it so we can have lots of followers?
Is it so we get lots of comments?
Is it because we have nothing else to do?
Is it because we just like to write?
Is it so we can share our photographs?
Is it because we want to feel in with the crowd?
But most importantly is it a place where all the glory goes up to God?
Here on my blog. My little corner of the interwebs. I hope all the glory goes up to God.
I hope that you all can see that I love and serve the creator of the universe.
Some people think that one day they will be able to tell the whole world that "all the glory goes up to God".
They are waiting for the day when the whole world is watching to say
"I give all the glory to God!"
(Hosanna then tells the stories of a couple of Olympic athletes.)
Would you have the courage?
The courage to tell the world that you believe?
The courage to tell your town?
The courage to tell your school?
The courage to tell your friends?
The courage to write it on your blog?
Dont wait til you're in the olympics or you're famous.
Cause really how many of us are actually going to have the whole world watching?
But we do have people watching.
Our friends are watching.
Our school is watching.
Our readers are watching.
Our families are watching.
So lets tell them, the people who are watching.
That He is lord
That He does live today.
That He is coming back again.
That He loves them.
That He has a plan for them.
He has a plan for you.
A plan for me.
A plan for the world.
Will you join me in telling the world?
I hope you will pop on over to Hosanna's Blog to read the whole post;
I know you will be blessed by her words of challenge and encouragement.
And . . . if you leave her a comment,
I know that she will be blessed by your encouragement.
Hi Mama D, this post of yours and Hannah's... makes me think of the amazing things that God has been working behind the scenes. Sometimes He speaks to us through other people in ways that are unmistakably from Him, that other people are not aware of it... well, this has happened to me through your blog and Hannah's! :) It is very huge. Mind-boggling, too. It has been a walk/step of faith for me obeying Him what He has been showing me through your and Hannah's post, I will share with you and Hannah one day soon when the timing is right :) (Please let her know too :)
ReplyDeleteHi Susan,
DeleteI am so glad that the Lord has used my blog (and Hosanna's post) to speak to your heart. Can't wait to hear more about it.
Just a note . . . "Hannah" is one of my daughters-in-law; and "Hosanna" is my 15 year old daughter. The post was written by Hosanna.
Always love to hear from you.
Mama D, :)
oops! I mean Hosanna! :) it was her post on Gettysburg, PA.. and your post on Extreme Fun in Utah... it's so amazing, really. Yes, will share with you soon when I am able, sometimes the Lord uses unexpected ways to speak! :)
