Recently, someone told me “mel, even when you leave Australia, your blog will still continue to speak to me”. I don’t think I’ve heard a greater compliment about my blog ministry here.
Friends, I’m glad, even if only one of you find comfort within these words and somehow you are encouraged to keep living. Even if only one of you is nudged to keep fighting – I would feel like I’ve done my job.
Many years ago, when I use to have another blog and it was entitled An Extraordinary Example. A lady whom I’ve never met from the states, across the seas commented on one of my entries. I’ve never heard from her again.
She said in a nutshell that she was going through something and while in her sleep, she dreamt of the words “an extraordinary example” and the next morning she googled it and my blog appeared.
She said “thank you” for writing, for the words that have encouraged her and helped her on.
I do not know her from a bar of soap. But somehow, it happened – the blog ministry began.
Every time I write – I write with you all in mind.
And every once in a while, this “lady” from years ago, she reminds me to keep going.
