A few weeks ago, I hit 400 followers. When I logged on to see 400, I couldn't even believe it. I never in a million years thought that 400 people would read my blog.
I've realized recently that numbers are just, well, numbers. They don't define my blog and they're not the reason I blog. It's easy to get caught up in being discontent with where you are, especially in blogging. {go check out Grace's post if you haven't already.} But when I found myself consumed in the numbers, I knew it was time to re-evaulate. I blog to express myself, to capture my life and my thoughts. I want this blog to be a place where I am real, not caught up in striving for more. Most of all, I want this blog to be glorifying to God because He has blessed me through it in ways I never would have imagined.
----------
So while numbers don't matter one bit, I really wanted to put something special together to celebrate the blessing of all of you! You guys are the best. I'm so grateful for the encouraging comments you leave - you honestly make my day. To celebrate all 400, I have a few giveaways lined up from some really amazing people. I'm so excited and so thankful.
They start tomorrow, so stay tuned!
love you all!

And yes- it isn't all about the numbers. I think we all deal with getting caught up in that.
Who doesn't want to be popular? ;)
