I think I found your blog because you left a comment on my blog. I love opportunities like this because I feel like it opens up a door for me. Then I can choose to follow that blog or not but it is my choice and no one is forcing me to do anything. I am so glad I found your blog (through your comment on mine) because I really enjoy reading it. If you hadn't taken that risk of leaving a comment for me, I might not have ever found you! Thank you for all that you do!loonyhikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05378360383088143368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651940433838154296.post-23382822237001849012010-04-26T16:50:45.432-04:002010-04-26T16:50:45.432-04:00The pure in hear shall see God...in every situatio...The pure in hear shall see God...in every situation. I have learned too that the blogosphere is a virtual world but a world none the less with virtual rules of etiquette, too. Some people do take their blogs posts quite personally. It is almost like one is being invited into their home.<br />I appreciate you post. Your heart really shows you care...<br />no matter what age the person is.<br />Have a blessed day. :)Barbra The Bloggesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05865022092066354784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651940433838154296.post-80939410643092808612010-04-26T16:47:11.024-04:002010-04-26T16:47:11.024-04:00Hi!

I did som...Hi!<br />This post was what I needed to hear.<br />I did something yesterday that hurt one of my sisters in Christ- and so, as I read this post, I recalled how I felt once I knew that I had hurt her. <br />I couldn't have crawled under the table more quickly. <br />I couldn't apologize enough. <br />And once I did, she prayed for ME! I couldn't believe it. <br />She could tell that I had been agitated lately, and forgave me quickly. <br />Wow. <br />Then I had to forgive myself. <br />I hope you will forgive yourself, too.<br />And I am going to follow you because I want to, I love REAL hearts. <br />Like James 5:16 says: <br />Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.<br />And had you not stopped by my home, I wouldn't have been reminded again today, through you, that I am still forgiven as much today as I was yesterday.<br />Blessings as you make you home today!Leslie {Goodbye, house.

For better or worse, blog hops like Friday Follow, are generally more about getting more followers and less about finding followers who are genuinely interested in your blog. Lots of people post generic "please follow me back" messages and don't actually read your blog, but that's kind of an implicit part of blog hops. Plus there are times when you find a blog you really like through a blog hop (I think that's how I found your blog!). WIthout knowing all of the details, it sounds like the blogger overreacted. Next time, maybe you'll think about whether to post a generic message, but I wouldn't let yourself get too upset about it--though it does say a lot about your character that you are apologizing about this!Yellow House Knitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06002829617133758326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3651940433838154296.post-10747172624113886782010-04-26T14:25:31.475-04:002010-04-26T14:25:31.475-04:00What a great post!

I am truly impressed that you are so willing to listen to God, and act on His voice...and say sorry as well...even though I am sure your intent wasn't hurtful...I actually agree with your Christian friend...I tend to ignore others who say "come follow me and I will follow you back.." If someone follows me, I hope it is because they are interested in me, or something they see on my blog...but I also agree with you that it is exciting to see new followers...

Like others have said above don't beat yourself up over this. We all make mistakes, we apologize and move on.<br /><br />I have been doing the blog hop for a few weeks now and have found some incredible blogs, yours included. I read posts on a new blog and let it be known in the comment. My problems is I sometimes get behind on comments.

If someone comments on my blog, I comment on theirs. And I also try to comment on a bunch of others + a few new blogs everyday. <br /><br />If I get a comment that's just related to following that person's blog, but has nothing to do with a my post, then I just ignore it, but I'm not offended. So don't be so hard on yourself.Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.com
