i ponder those questions on occasion however, i usually come away believing that the kinds of networking i do - and the results i reap - are much more rewarding and priceless than i can put into words. i have a whole boatload of blogs i visit on a weekly basis... i also have a facebook account to keep in touch with friends... i belong to a daily online photo journal, too... it's all very time consuming - and i've asked myself many times if it's worth it. but then...
i came to know joanne through beth moore's website one day. on january 11 of this year, joanne suffered a major stroke - at the age of 38. joanne is a christian... along with an unwavering faith, she has an incredible husband (toben) and family surrounding her. toben has been remarkable with providing updates on joanne's blog; being extremely transparent with what has been happening, day-to-day struggles and prayer requests. her sister, kristen, also posts wonderful accounts of joanne's progress. joanne is a testament to our god being a big god and one of miracles. she has come out of her coma, is now talking, writing and standing; making incredible progress.
and today is her BIRTHDAY! happy, happy - joy, joy... her friend, janna, sent the most charming message to her that included pictures of charm bracelets... because joanne loves charms - and wears a charm bracelet that includes about 63 charms on it...
pretty isn't it? i imagine it jingle, jangles all the time as she walks. according to one of joanne's own blogs, she's been collecting charms since she was 7 years old... sheesh, that's a long time. we want to hear those jangles some more, joanne...
here's wishing you a happy birthday... blessings galore and prayers that god will continue to answer big the requests we are lifting up on your behalf - for more miracles in your healing journey...
and here's to social networking - the connections that god can make possible via the web so his children can pray for each other and be a testament to others.
happy day.....
