Speaking of old, familiar faces...

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Laurie]

Yippee Skippee! Linda, I'm so excited! YAY!

[Deb Porter]

Ahhhh! That Linda! (Laurie just mentioned something in the tally thread.)

It's great to have you on board (no. 482 I think). May God bless you abundantly.

Love, Deb

This makes me so happy! I'm grinning.

So is there a prize for being no. 500? If so, that would be a great incentive for us to start telling (or pressuring ) our friends. Not that they need any more incentive, but still.... #500 will be a pretty big deal!

Woowoo Linda! Glad you are here!!! And I like the idea of a prize for #500 - though with the number going up and down sometimes, it might have to be rewarded more than once...

[Evensong]

Thanks for the warm welcome to the 500, everybody! I have to admit, the thought did cross my mind that waiting and trying to be #500 would be really 'kewl' But I just couldn't wait! Had to get in here and get where I know I need to be.

[Pat]

Welcome! Welcome! Welcome! (dear Linda!!!!!)

Love,
Pat

Thanks, dear Pat, for that hearty welcome to the 500. And Kathie, your enthusiasm and faith spurs me on! I think this will be a wonderful year for many of us in FW as we support and encourage each other to catch the vision God has for each of us! May God pave the way for you Kathie, and may He help us to all see clearly what He would have us do.

Thank you - I do feel passionate about what I'm doing and where God is leading me. I had to make some difficult decisions just over 3 years ago which has led me to where I am now but it was worth doing and it meant listening to what God was telling me, both through other people and through direct Word to me.

Kathie, it sounds to me like you have a lot to say in your book that will be a fascinating read and will help a lot of people. Count me in as one who is looking forward to your story in print!

Don't worry, everyone will hear about it when it's done so you'll get to know, that's for sure! It will be written around the theme of the Proverbs 31 Woman (http://www.proverbs31-woman.com) - something else I've been passionate about and I have a blog dedicated to it. I'm sure I'll use that blog to draw upon throughout the book.
