So I’ve been asked this soooooo many times!
It’s a couple of things
1. I have always loved to write and to be completely honest I was intrigued by the “art” of it all. You get to design and embellish, write and so much more. In all the testing and so on at one point I had FOUR different blogs! I wanted to try out different platforms and I wanted to write about different stuff!
2. I still remember the very FIRST. Blog I read….it belonged to my brother-in-law HT! He no longer writes one…unless he does it secretly 😉 he now is my techie. He designed my blog and if I have any major issues he is the first place I turn!
3. When I started my first blog (7 years ago!!! yep I totally missed my own blog’s anniversary! Lol. ) I was expecting my third baby in three years. We were new in ministry and there was no one my age around! I longed for friendship. I knew nothing of Facebook or MySpace or Twitter (did twitter even exist in 2007?). I quickly made friends! I still read their blogs! And my blog has most definitely changed!
So I guess the next question is Why after 7years do you still blog?
Well the obvious answer is
BECAUSE I LOVE IT! It gives me an outlet for all the crazy thoughts flying through my head! Don’t worry I don’t write about EVERYTHING that crosses my brain waves!
The not so obvious answer I guess, is that I have a story to tell (we all do). A story of grace, mercy, and love! I’m not some famous person with a gigantic platform to reach millions. But if I inspire one person. If one person is challenged to seek and grow in their relationship with God. If one person changes how they view this life, we’ve been blessed with…..then ALL. Of my time, effort and money has been well spent!
