Cracked the Ton!
Well not really. But it's a funny phrase for passing an iconic point on the numeric scale.
The point of this post, then?
Well, obviously it is to celebrate the passing of an iconic number. This number then being that my blog has just passed:
50 followers.
Wow.
That's impressive.
Not just the number itself, but the fact that it's growing. I never intended to write anything so interesting that it would warrant any more than two or three loyal friends who followed simply to be supportive. However these loyal followers have been so dedicated to reading what I share, commenting, and re-sharing, so much so, that they deserve a shout-out.
Thankyou!
Thankyou so much, to all of you! For your loyalty in reading, for your thoughtfulness in commenting, your support in my writing, your fanning over my art, and for finding my rambling posts worthy enough to re-share them with your friends. Your support, your encouragement, and your kindness is so appreciated!
I would especially like to thank Jonathan Garner, Andrew Joyce, Aubrey Hansen, Lisa, and Grace Pennington for being such dedicated readers, critique-ers, commenters, encouragers, pokers, prodders, and re-sharers. It means a lot that you take the time to give your opinions on drafts, comment after reading (especially my absurdly long posts. o.O), and especially, re-share. I find re-sharing to be the highest honour you could give my writing. So thank you all, very much!
And last but not least! Thankyou to YOU! My readers! Even the quiet ones, the fact that what you saw around my blog was enough for you to hit "follow" really blesses me! I hope that my little internet realm has been able to repay your blessing, even in some small way.
I pray God continues to use my hands at the keyboard to encourage, uplift, and inspire you for many years to come. <><
Congratulations Busheh! May the next fifty be quick to come ^_^

*grins* Thanks for commenting, Andrew! And as to the next fifty... o.O well, we shall see. ;)
Delete(Thanks! I shall amend that. :D)
Congrats, darling!!! I am so happy for you. :) Keep following the Lord's leading.
ReplyDeleteThankyou, my lovely Kaitlyn. And I will. Always. :)
DeleteCongratulations, BushMaid! It doesn't surprise me at all that your blog has reached this point, and I'm sure it will keep growing as your thoughtful posts continue to bring more readers. :)
ReplyDeleteThankyou, Jonathan! It may not have surprised you, but it certainly surprised me! O.O I pray that God continues to use my writing to bless others through my blog. :)
DeleteUh, I hate to tell you this, my dear, but you have it all wrong. Flip-flopped, actually. See, YOU are the one who's such a wonderful, faithful blog reader to ME--commenting on nearly everything, sharing lots, etc. I, am the other hand, am quite an awful blog reader, mostly in the fact that I don't read very much on the blogosphere at all. So really you shouldn't mention me, darling, and let me do all the thanking, because you deserve it.
ReplyDelete*quickly runs away before Aussie says anything else awesome and embarrassing and encouraging*
You, Philly m'dear, are one of my top commenters, thus you get a mention in the thankyou. One cannot deny the statistics! Plus, it's simply an honour in itself to have your esteemed Philliness *following* my blog to begin with, so you shall have my thanks, and you SHALL like it. *nods emphatically*
DeleteYay!! Congrats, Aussie!! You are an encouragement to me, and I am glad I can bless you in return!!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work... ♥
Thanks, Lisa!! You are definitely a great encouragement to me, both by your reading, commenting, and through your own blogs. :D I'm going to visit you some day, sure and certain!!
DeleteI will. :D
If some other blogger had reached 50 followers,they'd never have written a whole post to thank their readers. Thank you for putting the time to write this all to us. I probably don't seem familiar to you,I'm one of those quiet readers,I absolutely love reading all your stuff and yet I put no time into commenting.
ReplyDeleteJust knowing you read my posts is blessing enough, Teen! God bless you, and thankyou for commenting. I'm so grateful that you enjoy what I write, and I pray it encourages you. :)
