I'm excited to say today marks a bit of a milestone...it's my 100th post!!! I had no clue, when I stumbled upon blogging (via Beth Moore) just how much it would impact my life!
My Cup Runneth Over was born out of an earnest prayer to share God's love and encouragement with others.
For quite some time, I had sensed a longing to reach beyond those I was encountering on a daily basis -- at work, on my bus, in my neighborhood, even at my church. So many people are hurting, and in need of God's love...through a smile, a kind word or gesture, or taking the time to pray. My heart (whose blessings are many) overflows with joy and gratitude, and longs to serve the Lord, by serving others, and that certainly includes you! That is why I started blogging, and that remains the same today, 100 posts later!
What I never expected, however, was how much you, in turn would share God's love and encouragement with me! Far beyond that...you have challenged me, humbled me, rejoiced with me, prayed for me, overwhelmed me with your kindness and generosity, and strengthened me by your example. Most of all, you've helped me love Jesus more than ever before. Thank you. I am beyond humbled you have made me a small part of your life. I am truly overflowing with gratitude that God has made you a part of mine.
Though we may never have the opportunity to meet face-to-face (in this lifetime), just wait until we all get to Heaven! Can you imagine!? Wow!
I want to celebrate by sharing this Willow Tree Friendship Angel with one of you. I wish I could give one to each of you, but alas the budget dictates that I only have one. Please leave a comment between now and Monday evening (10/27) at midnight. I will draw a name and post the winner on Tuesday.
With love overflowing,
Tracy

Tracy,
You don't need to include me in the drawing but I wanted to comment. Everything you shared is exactly how I feel about you, all the wonderful ladies in blogland, and about the Lord's work through my blog and others. I'm honored that God could use me and He's shown me my blog is a ministry to encourage others but also use my gift and love for writing.
Thank you sweet sister!

Congratulations on your
100th post! Your blog has been such a blessing to me, Tracy. You were one of the first who encouraged me and when I first seriously began blogging.
Keep blogging for Him, Tracy. You make more of an impact than you could ever realize for Jesus!

I LOVE Willow Tree. I've collected one piece of the nativity scene until recently I completed the set. This is the 2nd season I will get to enjoy it in all it's entirety!
Congratulations on your 100th post!! I passed mine and did not do anything special, didn't have time at the time... thought I would do something for my 200th, now that has come and gone and I did not do anything for it either... oh well.
Your blog and your sweet and encouraging comments on mine are truly a blessing! May the Lord bless with more and more as you continue to show forth and share His love thru this blogging world!
Blessings!

Congrats on your 100th post. Can you believe that somehow I MISSED mine? I am already past it (by 38 posts... oops) and never realized it until now.
Ah well...
I am so grateful to have "met" you through blogging. You are right. Blogging has been such a blessing, and i have met so many incredible people, and received so much encouragement and joy from others. I wouldn't give it up for anything... (well... that is, umm, well unless God called me to do that, I guess...) :)
Anyway,
God bless,
Heather

Tracy:
You know how I feel about you, but just in case you've forgotten...
I love your heart and the woman your are. You add so much to the blogging community. Like you, I had no idea what this pasttime would involve and the friendships that would be birthed because of it. I would have missed a great deal had I not started blogging; it's the community that keeps me to it.
Congratulations on your 100th post. I look forward to the next 100.
