Diary of a Broken Vessel has received more than 10,000 hits since its creation. For many bloggers out there this is not an amazing number, but for me I think it is pretty cool. I want to thank everyone who has visited my blog -even if only by accident or mistake-, taken the time to read a post or two, left comments, or simply used it as a place to find links to much cooler sites.
I hope that my writings have been a blessing to those of you that have stopped by to read. Each piece has been another step in growth and in drawing nearer and nearer to the Lord. I’ve made some new friends along the way and have acquainted myself with old ones. I have drawn some near, while others have been alienated. In whatever case, it has been an incredible journey that I pray will continue long into the future, and firmly in the path of Christ our Lord.

Congrats to you! And thanks for including me among such esteemed company! Your blog has meant so much to me–Scriptural encouragement, connection with the Navy, and just knowing you’re out there being salt and light among many. I pray that you will continue to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, pleasing Him in all respects, and ever growing in His grace!
Blessings, Linda
