Not Anonymous

There's a great discount code at the bottom of nearly every post. If that's what you are looking for, scroll on down to the sponsorship message. :) For anyone who wants to know my heart, here's today's post:

The most frequent comments I receive to this website are posted by some kind person named, "Anonymous." Anonymous seems to love my page. Sometimes she posts 30-50 times in any given week.

Strangely enough, most of her posts are flagged by my filters as SPAM. I wonder why? Perhaps it's because Anonymous loves to post a ton of links with her comments, often to websites that are anything but beautiful.

Perhaps it is because some of Anonymous' other posts seem like they could be from a real person with real desire to interact, but because she doesn't log in through an account nor is she willing to sign any name other than "Anonymous," I really can't bring myself to approve her comments even if they might be legitimate.

In God's eyes, no matter how small we may feel, God never sees us as Anonymous! He not only knows if we are real people rather than computer programming, He knows every detail about our lives, even the number of hairs on our heads. He know the beautiful places in our hearts, the ones that sometimes we can't even see for ourselves. And He knows the broken places, the ones He longs to redeem and repair.

To everyone reading who is not named Anonymous, I really would love to hear from you - real, living, breathing, beautiful women. If you don't want to use a Google account identity, could you please at least sign your first name and give me some reason to believe you are actually interested in communication? Otherwise I might think you are a random SPAMbot going around saying, "Great post!"

If I can't figure out that you are a real person who has actually read the post where you are commenting, I won't approve your comment. I love knowing friends and forging relationships, but I need some help from your end because I have no desire to friend any computer program even if she does have a fun name like Anonymous. ;) It makes me very sad to ignore anyone who just might be real, so please don't leave me guessing.

Joyful Journey

I'm guest blogging on the topic of Inner Beauty as a monthly columnist over at Glory and Strength. This year we are looking together at characteristics that set a woman apart as a Christian, as found in Galatians 5:22-23.

Drop by Glory and Strength and click on "Growing in Glory" to find my latest reflections. This month we are talking about how joy differs from happiness. Here's a little taste to get you started. (And don't forget to keep reading to the bottom of this post to grab a great discount code for Affordable Mineral Makeup too!)

For years I thought the words “joy” and “happiness” were interchangeable. I'm learning that it is quite possible to have one without the other. A boat may choose to come in or out of port when the seas are calm, but when a storm comes it must stay anchored close to shore for protection from the battering waves. I am like that boat, feeling a certain care-free happiness when life's going my way, but only truly appreciating the depth of heart-sheltering joy when times are harder...

You hear someone say, “Under the circumstances, I'm doing okay.” Like a boat that won't be capsized in a storm, I believe God wants so much more for us than just living under our circumstances. He wants us to thrive in both the good times and the bad. The Bible, in the book of Isaiah, tells us God longs to give us, “beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.” I can't make such exchanges on my own, but with God's help I can move from despair to joyful hope...

Please come read more about joy at http://www.gloryandstrength.com/index_files/GrowingInGlory.htm then tune in again next month to share with me as we talk about lasting peace. :)
