This post marks our 500th post since the blog started 4 years ago. Would you help us celebrate by leaving a comment if you follow God’s faithfulness in our lives by reading? It would be fun to know whom the Lord has brought our way, and since we don’t do any formal followers on the side-bar or anything, we really don’t know who all of the daily “hits” are. Though it isn’t of great importance, since our desire is for this to be a legacy of life we will leave behind to our offspring one day, it really would be a JOY to see who has been along for the ride with us. So, please, take a minute to say hello!

I am your number “1″ blog reader! Love it and especially love how your children will enjoy reading when they are older themselves! It encourages me, brings me much joy and reminds me of areas that I need to pray for your family! You have a gift of writing and I encourage you to continue!

Since you told me about your blog when we ‘met’ on Facebook, I have been a faithful reader! And you have no idea how much God has used your blog in my life…About two years ago I asked God to teach me more about parenting (I sadly didn’t have good role models with my parents and there are hardly any good christian books on parenting here in Germany)…and your blog is one of the many answers to this prayer that God has sent my way since then. Through you I also found out about Ann Voskamp. And I have ordered several of the books that you have recommended on your blog. You challenge me in so many ways to be a mom after God’s own heart and thanks to your wonderful example God has been working in my life and changing me more into His image. So, thank you! I should have written this a lot earlier. =) Blessings! Congratulations on 500 posts!

I love your blog, Tara, and have followed it ever since you guys left the ‘Ville. It was through your blog that I was introduced to Ann Voskamp, for which I will forever be grateful to you. Here’s to 500 more!
