So why the title "The Lines Have Fallen..."???

Well it mostly comes from the verse in Psalm 16:6  KJV , "The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places: Yea I have a goodly heritage." 

That verse kept coming to me as I think back over stories in my life and present times as well. I have wanted a way to share it with people. But I know how it is when I try to share a story from my life in person. Sometimes it falls flat......it lacks something.....and winds up not being interesting to listen to.

 I started typing out a few stories from my childhood .......and I thought of them as "lines". We all have "lines", you know, our stories. And I love the "pleasant places" our stories can bring! The things I learned from those "lines", the things that makes me laugh today, the things that make me realize just how much God does care for me and each one of us.

 I started a note on my phone of each story and headed it with "The lines are fallen...." I thought it would just fall flat. I shared a couple stories on my WhatsApp status and got some sweet and positive feedback. It was extremely encouraging for me! But I just let the stories be on my phone until I started noticing something.........that note headed with "The lines are fallen" kept coming up as a notification on my phone. Notes on my phone had not done that before. I pushed it aside in my mind, but then it would show up again and again and again! My husband periodically asked if I had another story for him to read and also said I need to start writing them out. Maybe write a book. I don't know about writing a book, but for now I'd like to write on my blog. =)

This verse also means to me ........ God, you have been so good to me! He has most certainly placed those "lines" in my life. It can also mean, " Your sovereign goodness has fenced me in to God himself."     "The borders of my life are boundaries around where God is."                                                                And the goodly heritage is God. God is my inheritance. Definitely, God is our inheritance if we have trusted Him for salvation! 

I hope you'll enjoy what you read on my blog. =)
