If you look at the "places I lurk" on my blog, you will notice one called "keeping awake". I don't know the author, Boothe, personally, but I have been following her blog for some time now. If you have ever clicked on her blog and read any of it, you will see how awesome her faith is/has been during a very hard time in her life. In September, she lost her baby to Trisomy-18. Through reading Boothe's blog, I have also read several other women's blogs who are going through the same thing she is.
Well, this weekend, there were a group of women walking in front of me that had on t-shirts that said "Our little ones are dancing with Jesus now" and then it had the names of babies and how long they lived listed. I stopped one of the women to comment on her shirt. The cool thing? It was one of the women who I have been reading her blog on-line for months. In fact, these women had all met each other face to face for the first time this weekend. They've been corresponding through emails and things for months as they have each suffered from losing a baby. So, they decided to meet for the first time at the Deeper Still conference. Anyway, Boothe was not there (but they all knew her and talked with her) but I couldn't believe that I was getting to meet a couple of the women who I almost feel like I know just from reading their blogs. I just thought it was the neatest thing to be able to tell them myself how much they have ministered to me through their writings.
