Blogging has been very hard for me. It takes me a really long time to write one. Read my past blog https://godspeaks-i-listen.com/2012/01/01/i-am-so-stupid/
So I decided that when I got to 365 blogs which is one years worth… I would stop blogging….forever! I felt I had enough and I thought people will be bored with me by then. So right after I hit the 365th day a few weeks ago… my blog got sanctioned by Google and my WordPress stats dropped dramatically from about 200 views a day to 20 a day. I was devastated and went on help forums, asked family for help and eventually paid 4 people on Fiverr.com to try to fix the problem.
After about 3 weeks of this I started praying really hard for answers and I felt God spoke to me. You see…I didn’t check to see if He wanted me to stop. After all it was a miracle that with my severe lack of writing skills that my blog is a miracle. My most popular blogs are…I’m going to kill myself….I am so stupid….and the fullness of God. People were writing me everyday privately through the sidebar asking for help and prayer. I was really working for the Lord in this unique way.
When I realized this is how God was using me….I asked God for forgiveness and to restore my blog and He has.
I thought I knew what was good for me. I thought I knew what I wanted. When it was taken away….It snapped me back to reality and put me back on the right track.
So….here I am…God speaks…I listen….and share with you!

I try to enquire of the Lord first…but most times I forget in the moment of it all. But I guarantee you…God will keep me in check!!! How are you feeling these days over in the UK? I pray you’re well, warm and safe! So glad I have a friend in the UK! Who would ever think this was possible through the internet?

By the grace of God, my family and I are well.
we are in an area of the UK that has not suffered from the storms which have washed away houses!!
I am always amazed at how I have connected with my sisters and brothers in Christ, who live in different countries. Even more amazed at the enouragement we give each other.
May the Lord’s face continually shine on you as you encourage others with your writings.
God Bless you my sister xx.

You know, Tanya, that Moses, too, felt he was inadequate for the task God was giving him (leading the Chosen People into the Promised Land). God’s Will WILL be done, in spite of our measly attempts to exert our will! Praise Him and trust that you will be open to the path He’s leading you down — and know that you’re doing good work here! Glad you got the problems with your blog resolved — He works in mysterious ways, doesn’t He??!
