“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God,
to them who are the called according to his purpose.”
Romans 8:28
Have you ever had a day when it just seemed like life itself was set against you? Maybe a situation you wanted to go one way went completely left and you couldn’t figure out why? Or someone seemingly random crossed your path and for a reason you didn’t know left an impact in your day? Do you have a testimony that you feel could lift someone else from a low place? Or simply a personal praise that may brighten someone else’s day?
In my life I call my these Godly set-ups my 8:28 Blessings.

MY 8:28 Blessing:
This week my #828Blessings story is one that came from within my own personal pity party. That’s right…I was on the verge of sending out invitations and booking a venue. I was so upset that something close to my heart didn’t seem to be working or succeeding the way I wanted it to. Wanna know what that something was? This. The #828Blessings Share Social.
I received the idea and desire to start this social in my prayer time and felt lead to go forward with it. So I went forward with enthusiasm and an expectancy that this would just take off and launch into the Blogosphere like a rocket. I tweeted, posted, created a custom button and set a start date. I was ready! I even went so far as to run a Twitter Ad Campaign…
The start date comes.
Then it goes. One LinkUp. From the lovely Vague at Chaos With A Curve who shared a reflection on things in life. Now don’t get me wrong I was grateful for that LinkUp yet…What happened? That’s the question I went to God with. You told me to do this. You gave me the idea. So where are the results? Yes I went with just that attitude. I was upset. I was sad and annoyed. What had I done wrong? Know what I heard back? “Don’t Stop.”
Don’t stop? Why should I continue? There are no LinkUps and none of my advertising seems to be having any impact. Yet I still heard that same whisper of an answer. “Don’t Stop.”
So I went forward.
Week 2. Two LinkUps. One from my very lovely Brittnei at Homemaking With Style who had a wonderful story of blessing and the Second from my new friend, Heather from The Frill of Life who had a powerful story of her relationship with God. Yet where were the others? The blessings, testimonies and praise reports I knew were there? I KNOW My God is still moving in folks lives so why is no one coming to tell about it? What was I missing?
Here came pity.
I began to sing my “Woe is me blues”. I decided within myself that I was going to simply shut the Social down and write it off as a lost. Yet then the whisper became a shout. “Don’t Stop!”
Really Lord? Keep a Social running for one LinkUp a week? This was when I happened to start a DM conversation with a new friend Tara from Hill House Rock. She has always been one to uplift and encourage others both through her Blog and her daily #TarasTips this day was no different for her. When I began to vent and release about how I was feeling she immediately offered not only support, encouragement and inspiration but even professional PR advice!
Revised & Simplified
Thanks to her Tara’s advice, a night of prayer and a few revisions you are now looking at the NEW and Improved (LOL) … Revised & Simplified #828Blessings Share Social.
Guess what else?
If there is 1 LinkUp or 100 LinkUps…you will continue to see it here…every week until God tells me different. Even if one person is able to tell their story and reach just one more person that will be worth it all.
Now its you’re turn…
Come, share, connect and fellowship…. with your #828Blessings
