Has God ever sent you little reminders of times in the past when He’s been faithful? I love it when He does that, and I received an email recently that brought back one of those memories.

 

A friend posted an emergency prayer request for her blog. It launched that day, and when it went live, the content didn’t show up like it should. To make it worse, her web designer was sick.

 

My friend’s email reminded me of something similar that happened to me—and what made it extra special was that her email arrived exactly four years to the day of when I’d experienced my own nightmare situation.

I’d been building buzz on social media for weeks for my “Just 18 Summers” parenting website/blog. My friend, Terenia, designed websites professionally, so I was thrilled to have her build my site—especially since it was quite involved with numerous pages and tabs.

 

The two of us had spent months pulling everything together. Well, I pulled together information. She did all the rest because there’s not one tech-savvy gene in my body. Not one.

 

Several unexpected circumstances ate into our timeline to complete the site, so we ended up working late into the night before our launch date. About 3 a.m., I got an email from her that said, “I just did a check of the site, and we’re ready to go!”

 

I sent a quick, “Yay! Get some rest!” email and went to look at my brand-spanking-new site. But when I clicked on the web address, nothing happened. We’d announced 8 a.m. as the launch time…and nobody would be able to access our site.
