What you DID for me…

Posted on by

I’ve had weeks to figure out how we’d close this month’s series of “DOing Something.” And I’ve come up blank every time.

Until last night

Last night all I had in my soul was a huge resounding “Thank YOU!” to all of you… A BIG thank you that says you’ve DOne MUCH in my life this month.

I didn’t know what I was getting into when I set my blog aside for the message of this month. As I stated from the beginning, I was along for the ride, just a few steps ahead… And you all have surprised me, continuously, throughout this process.

With all the posts, emails, and notes, I’m CERTAIN that a LOT has transpired behind the scenes this month. A LOT has happened in our everyday individual lives. And I’m so thankful for those of you who have sent me messages saying you’ve been challenged and changed as well.

But, I want all of you to know something. I need you to understand part of this month’s “DOings,” and I’m only gonna say it once:

I spent the summer praying about this little blog – wanting it to be more than just a hobby, but a place of impact – of ministry – of service and inspiration.

And, this month, it has become just that…

…for me.

…in MY life.

I’ve been impacted in a DEEP and wordless way by all that’s gone on here.

I’ve been ministered to in a profound and life-changing way this month.

I’ve been served – had my spiritual feet washed by some of you.

And I’ve been so inspired. Inspired to be. To be me…

This month marks a turn-around for me, a change of pace in my personal life, a new Mandy for the world or maybe just for me. As much as you’ve witnessed change and growth and purpose on this blog, even more has occurred offline in my personal life. I’m a different person than I was 4 weeks ago.

We set out to change the world this month.

And we did.

We changed mine.

  16. Yea. We are pretty much indebted to you for life :)

    I had to add somethingelse LOL:)

    No seriously though, in the times we live in, we NEED to know how to ” DO SOMETHING” on a small scale, because at somepoint, that will be all we have left in the world that can make a huge impact…because obviously, the finance thing just can’t keep its promise :)

    Oh the times we live in…ugh.
    I don’t look forward to our ” Grapes of Wrath”.
