Today as my little family loaded into the car, a lady ran across the street to ask for help. Her daughter was missing. They didn't know where she was. She had gone to a sleepover last night and wasn't answering her phone. They knew the house was somewhere in the neighborhood and needed to know which house it was.
They asked if I knew of anyone who had just turned 18 and would be having a party here. I knew immediately who it was. An inactive laurel would be turning 18 this month. I knew she had a birthday in March. I had her number. We called her and the lady got a hold of her daughter and found the house.
She called it luck. I know it was more than that. We are probably the only people in the whole neighborhood who know this girl. I was probably one of the only people who knew she had a birthday in march, let alone had her number.
The Lord is so good. I love little tender mercies such as these that remind us that the Lord watches over us. He hears our silent and loud prayers and puts people in our lives that can help us. I am so grateful I was able to help this woman find her daughter. I was so grateful for the reminder that we are loved and looked after.

Are you there?
Well, now I feel as if I'm writing to no one.
Here's the reasoning behind going private.
I was looking at where my traffic was coming from and saw a site that linked 23 viewers to my blog. I hadn't seen it before so I clicked. It led me to a pornography site. I was completely sickened as I closed my browser and couldn't shake the awful image I saw. I sat there praying and trying to push away the image and nasty feeling I had. After many prayers I finally began to wonder how in the world people could find my blog through that site. I did not want any one in the whole world to be able to click my blog so I decided to go private.
Since then, I think only two people have viewed the blog?
I blog partly for journaling purposes but I also blog to get my ideas out there and get feedback. I also read other people's blogs to catch up and see what is going on in my friend's lives. I imagine some people read this blog for the same reason. There seems no point in posting if no one will view it.
So faithful readers...all two of you...What should I do? Keep it private or open this blog up again? Are there other privacy settings I can switch around so I don't get traffic from unwanted sources? Any insight you have would be great.
