It’s NOT Goodbye only See You All Later… At The Throne Room
Wow, it’s with a heavy heart and a hopeful heart that I write to all of you, my friends, here at Laced With Grace. Today, May 24, 2012 will be my last post for a long while. I’m taking a Sabbatical from writing as God is opening doors in the ministry of my passion, the unequally yoked, that is requiring me to change directions in writing and speaking and mostly serving Jesus.
I grew up online at Spiritually Unequal Marriage and at Laced With Grace. I stepped into this world of blogging back in 2006 after God spoke to me at a writer’s conference where He urged me to start my ministry. Little did I know all that He had planned. I’m still overwhelmed and humbled to think about it all.
In 2006 I met Iris Nelson (online). She was a year ahead of me in this strange new world of blogging and she was so kind, helpful and loving to this novice. She was Jesus with skin on to me. Well after spending time together in this amazing online community of Christians, we became great friends and she asked me to join her to start a new women’s devotional site, Laced With Grace. I was humbled and thrilled to be included. I was one of the original writers.
I began writing devotions in 2006 and have been a contributor for six years now. Wow, how time flies and how Jesus is to be praised. Women were encouraged and I LOVED sharing aspects of my life at LWG that I wasn’t able to share on my ministry page.
It was a gift to write here.
I looked back at all of my posts today. Eighty eight. Wow, that’s a lot. I wrote about praying the most dangerous prayer way back in February 2007 (read it here). I wrote about dove and angels, my daughter, our year of unemployment, of God showing up and showing off, of dog poop and God and so many things. All were glimpses of the Lord living and loving on me. I’m deeply humbled.
Today I say a tearful goodbye to all of my co-writers here and tell them I love them. I say goodbye to all of you who faithfully stopped in to spend your precious time with me.
I love each of you. I expect to meet each of your face-to-face at the throne of Grace where we will hug and laugh with glee because God allowed us to share life together here on earth even if it was in this amazing world of the web.
I love you deeply. I treasure you Iris and Laurie and all of my past and present co-writers. Mostly I love and adore Jesus. To Him all glory, honor and praise belong. Be blessed, Lynn

What a blessing you are! I remember when I spoke with you about the tickets to the Women of Faith program that I won a few years back from LWG. Thank you for your encouragement and faithfulness. I look forward to seeing how God continues to use you.
Hugs,

Wow Bethany,
And look all that the Lord has done in your life my friend. God is so amazing and so filled with grace and love. Thank you for spending time with me and I will be seeing you around the web my friend. BIG hugs, Lynn
I’ll miss you Lynn, you’re truly an inspiration.
Bernadine,
I treasure your love and friendship. I can’t wait for the day we meet face to face. Love you so much. Lynn
Lynn, you have been such a blessing to Laced with Grace and to me personally. I am thrilled how God used the internet to connect us.
I have seen how God used you and Dineen to make a difference in unequally yoked marriages. I know that God will take you even further as you are willing to follow His lead.
Thank you for the past six years sharing your wisdom with the readers of LWG.
Love you Iris… So very much. A sister forever, Lynn
You have been a blessing to so many, especially me. It has been a God thing how He put you and Iris in my path and ever since we have just been connected like a sisterhood. I will miss you on the writing team but I know that we are not thru hearing from you…God is doing great things thru you and I hope that you will visit with us and share all the great travels and miracles that He is doing in your life and with your ministry. Not goodbye, just see you later. ((hugs))
Hi Laurie,
I hate goodbyes so you are right… see you later. Thank you for all you do for the team and this ministry. Love you a ton and I will be seeing you around. Hugs. Lynn
