Finally

July 6, 2010

So, I know I’ve been blathering on rather obliquely over the last month.

About feeling lost when you’re following the spiderweb of God’s will.

About discovering life after coming out of a season of “no.”

About learning not to be afraid of God-sized dreams.

About transition.

Thank you for walking with me as I processed. I’m delighted to be able to tell you all about it now. The full story is over here if you just click the link.

And I’m so very, very happy.

Wow! Congratulations! That sounds REALLY incredible, and exactly what I’d expect your dream job to be :) I’m guessing you get to work from home now?? God is full of the best surprises……and they are so blessed to have you. Yippee!

Boo~ you are so precious. Thank you for the long distance love! I was just visiting your place yesterday and chuckling so hard over the sokkie story! But, girl, I can never leave a comment over there. Rats. So glad to “chat” with you today – I could feel your hug coming from way down South – and it felt real good!

I knew it, I knew it, I KNEW it! :)

The minute you tweeted about being with Holly and Stephanie, I thought: “that girl’s gonna go work for incourage!” :)

You are a perfect fit. I’m really excited for you. I’ll be praying that the transition is smooth and that you can move into it as seamlessly as possible.

Love you girl!

Lisa-Jo I am blessed to read and encouraged. I love your tweets.

LOVE that I will be able to follow in Sept. LOVE that God connects our hearts even if we have never seen one another face to face.

Hugs,
Teena

Ha! Just think of me as your personal concierge, trying to make sure that you time you spend at (in) courage is fun, meaningful and relevant. How’s that? :)

How exciting! sounds like God is up to something beautiful in your life… he’s always got a plan doesn’t He :) I love the ministry of InCourage… and have a dream of someday writing with them :) Thrilled to see you becoming more involved!

Love from your beautiful country of South Africa… where tea, rusks, pro-nutro, and melk tart abound :)

Exciting! I really don’t think there is anything quite like the high of God pulling back the curtains of heaven to reveal another part of His master plan for our lives. I have just started following your blog and you are a blessing. I love incourage and the big dreams God placed in the hearts of the women there.

May God continue to shower His love and blessings over you!

Lisa-Jo,
Your writing has been such a blessing to me. It is such a joy to know that one of my favourite bloggers has been joined together with another favourite website called (in)courage. Congratulations! You know, one of the best things about that is that the (in)courage girls can see that a multinational girl who has globe-trotted has relevant and incredible things to share and they want you to join them. Enjoy every beautiful minute of it! I’m just so happy that we can all come too and continue to read from your beautiful heart.
Stephanie
