They are definitely angry with me I guess because we disagreed over rather or not homosexuality is a sin....sigh....It REALLY bothers me that they have done this. And not just because I honestly considered them friends, but because I know their real anger is directed at God. I try to be sooo careful as I don't want to offend anyone, and it certainly is NEVER our job to judge, but sometimes you just have to stand up for Him and say what you KNOW in your soul to be truth. Right from the very beginning I wanted soo much for these women (in particular) to come to know Him as I just knew they didn't. I have continued commenting on theirs as if I don't notice their absence, haha, but I will tell you the truth it does hurt..At other times wondered if someone who was a regular had stopped visiting when suddenly I will get a LONG catching up comment from them...so I just try not to notice or pay much mind as to who comments or doesn't...we are only human though and for some of us it is hard not to take it personally....most of the people who follow my blog though I have no idea who they even are. When I follow I blog, I FOLLOW it, haha...Like yours my new friend. How I love coming here. I love hearing your thoughts and feeling your heart which you always can hear. Your post from a year ago makes me wish I'd been following you much longer...soo sweet. I love how you came to call this "your field of dreams"...Have a wonderful day....HUGS to you, DebbieDebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09836655708421528876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-28724012815190543182010-12-07T05:59:58.568-08:002010-12-07T05:59:58.568-08:00Good Morning Kim,

I can't imagine anyone not following your blog, From the first time i visited you I have been, and continue to be inspired.<br />I can only imagine how you are feeling from this loss of your mother especially at this time of year, and my heart hurts for you. God is so gracious to us, his children, He puts the balm of oils on our wounds to help us heal,and the friends you have met here in blogland is one of those oils. and he is using you through your healing to help us heal. <br /><br />God has given you the gift of writing, not only your thoughts, but His thoughts. You may never know how much the things you have shared have changed peoples lives. I am one who has had my life so enriched.May you continue to use your gift.<br />Much love to you today.<br />SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16949983164111997270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-50563589048600084432010-12-07T05:52:44.478-08:002010-12-07T05:52:44.478-08:00Well I am late here....look at all these comments,...Well I am late here....look at all these comments, I hope they are all confirmation of your blogging. I have had people "de-friend" me and I have done that myself...I just felt it was someone who realized they didn't have time, or they weren't reading me anyway...so no loss. I de-friend someone if I see I seem to never stop by their blog anymore...not to hurt or offend, but I want to get to the ones I enjoy and do read.<br /><br />So, so sorry over your loss! So glad God is the master of Healing and you know Him as your Savior.<br /><br />So glad you posted some of your older post...the ones without comments...I sent you one of my first post and as you saw it didn't have comments, and it was my heart...but that was fine, I didn't know any bloggers at that time.<br /><br />I love your prayer field...tears started coming to my eyes as I read that part...I could just see you walking through the field...oh, what a desire of my own heart!<br /><br />I hope all doubt has been erased....I can't imagine anything you could have said that would offend...if anything it is because someone has friended more blogs than they can keep up with!!<br /><br />Hugs today...lifting you up in prayer!! SO, so enjoyed getting to know you and so looking forward to more time with you on your blog...I enjoy my time here at your blog!!!<br />Love you girl,<br />JanetteJanettessage.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01262598732466380229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-121708149094064102010-12-06T22:23:15.708-08:002010-12-06T22:23:15.708-08:00I do enjoy stopping by your blog.

I read your posts and they are so heartfelt and they expose you and your heart and soul and I love every single one. I've lost followers too and I felt the same way--what did I do wrong, what did I say? Then I realized they may have followed and then realized my blog wasn't their cup of tea or my focus is different than what they originally thought it was. I could lose follower after follower as long as I have friends like you to share with. <br /><br />I am feeling a little weird about my giveaway now--I didn't have it to mandate followers but really to do something fun for the people that do follow/support and share their lives with me. I would do a giveaway for everyone if I could and the sharing of stories for the giveaway have been beautiful. Maybe I should have just opened it up to anyone who felt like sharing--perhaps that would have been a better approach but I'm just learning as we all are. <br /><br />Don't you second guess yourself. The lady that wrote this first blog is the same lady I know today and I cherish her and look forward to her every single day :)<br />Hugs and Love, AmyVerde Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551515900687338284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-19965623179165081462010-12-06T20:24:40.028-08:002010-12-06T20:24:40.028-08:00Kim, You are so precious and you have such a tende...Kim, You are so precious and you have such a tender heart.

She&#...First, I'm sorry to hear about your Mom. She's in God's hands.<br /><br />Regarding "follow", I have thought about this a lot lately. What kind of person am I becoming by worrying about followers? Ideally, lots of folks would follow us and we could happily write on and on. Still, a handful of friends is more important than numbers. I feel like I have some friends on my followers list. All of them? Heck no, but there are about seven people who I think might miss me if I wasn't blogging. That's easy for me to write here, but I still find myself wanting numbers so I can review things and have other opportunities that may arise.<br /><br />The whole follow thing can be quite crazy. I just entered some giveaways and had to follow. There is nothing personal, friendly, or encouraging about mandatory following. I follow you and you might give me goodies. My dog has that theory! I visited a blog who declared on her home page that she got rid of the following section of her blog because she thought it was bogus and she wanted people to visit because they liked what she wrote, drew, and photographed. I read that and sat there quietly trying to digest it. I mentioned it to my daughter and she said I needed to have followers so my new posts could appear on the dashboards of folks who wanted to read my blog. Hmm? Don't know, don't know!I'm still pondering this one and will be for a while.<br /><br />I love the sunrise photo and the yellow tree!<br /><br />Back to "followers", I am 5'10" tall, so I count for two followers. If I keep eating Christmas cookies, I will give you even higher numbers! There you have it- I've got you covered!<br /><br />;)Patricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09073900183291544491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-81622440094776650242010-12-06T17:51:55.702-08:002010-12-06T17:51:55.702-08:00Don't let it bother you...Some unfollow becaus...Don't let it bother you...Some unfollow because of health reasons and or lost their jobs and they feel out of place..I have lost a couple this week and have no clue..It use to bother me alot to..It hit me to the core at first..I have one that comes and goes and I don't know the reason for it..

Those who stick by you are those who care for how you live your life and approve. Some people don't care much for the good book and the narrow path, They are looking for something else. <br /><br />I love your blog and count myself blessed by reading your positive and soul nourishing daily posts and I always look forward to it. <br /><br />Some people may be just joiners and jump in without checking out if it's for them and find themselves bored. I don't think it's anything you said. I think it was a square trying to fit into a circle. My 2 cents worth.

Then I decided I couldn't look at this as trying to be popular or please everyone or I'd make myself into this plastic person that wasn't being herself. And I decided it was just a matter of time - that that person needed to pare down on their blogs to devote quality time to their favorites. And I can completely understand. <br /><br />So you just keep doing what you're doing and remembering why you're doing it. We all need to remember not to take things too personally. :)TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510099344729038541noreply@blogger.com
