One of the neat things about blogging is that you can regularly see your analytics – what posts are most viewed, shared. What day of the week most people read, where they’re coming from, etc. It’s actually pretty cool (and something I used to obsess over – I rarely look at numbers these days).
Since November 15th, 2012, one of my TOP THREE most viewed posts has been this one. Titled, “Devastated.”
It still hurts…
It also pained me to write a second, very similar post last April 30th, 2013. Titled, “Devastated 2.”
When I tell you that Porter is a blessing, that he’s been WANTED and PRAYED FOR…I hope it makes sense.
This child…he’s my beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness.
