The Blog Summation...

Posted in Blogging about Blogging



Well, we have blogged on blogging for 7 days.  The challenge has been fun.  Thanks, Carol, for this wonderful opportunity.  There have been some really well thought out posts by many wonderful bloggers along the way.  I have enjoyed reading each one of them.  I have, yet again, been slack in commenting.    I apologize for that - I am a work in progress and I thank you for putting up with me.  I also still have two TAGS to complete but for this final day I will merely say that I have enjoyed my experience to blog alongside such great ladies.  I feel blessed to know each of you.  I have been blessed to read each of you. 

This week has done something else for me that I never dreamed it would.  It has inspired me to blog better.  It has spurred me on to a new challenge in the blogging realm.  Topic blogging is something I really enjoy.  I never dreamed I would but I have.  I don't mean Memes and lists.  I mean really taking a look at what I love and what God is teaching me and then writing about it.  I look around me and see all of these bloggers that have a niche and a focus and realize that I just have not had that consistency.  I have talked about myself for far too long.  I know blogging is about sharing MY life but it can be about so much more.  The day to day stuff that gets me labelled as a Mommy Blogger is fine but I want to be so much more.  I want a niche.  I am now being far too honest with you all in saying this but I want to leave a mark, somehow, in this world of blogging.  It doesn't have to move the earth.  I don't have to win any prizes or awards.  I merely has to leave something positive.  Blest has the goal of not being boring.  She has a goal.  I don't even have a goal at this point.  So, officially, my goal is now that I want to make a difference... to someone... along the way (and also not be boring while doing it ;) ).  I want to edify the Kingdom in some way through what I write.  I want to make this little corner of the world a brighter spot for those who stop by.  That being said I am changing my approach.  You can still read about life from time to time and see pictures of all my precious ones but instead of the daily grind, it will be what God is teaching and how He is working in my life.  Growth is where I want to focus.  I want to share that I am moving forward and I am not the same person I was yesterday because God is real and working in me.  I can share that because that is what I know.  I don't know how He is working in you but if I share what He is doing in my life maybe that can help someone else where they are.  No complaining... no griping... no criticizing... just edifying.  That is the goal of this blog. 

May God richly bless you this day and throughout the weekend.  Have a wonderful Lord's Day.  See you Monday...

I will leave you with a real life friend's address.  She just started blogging this week and I want to introduce you to her.  She is a real Titus 2 woman for me and many other women and her name is Grammy Sue.  She is a professional writer.  She is a FANTABULOUS Bible study teacher.  She is an excellent wife, mother and grandmother - an excellent wife she is (Proverbs 31 Woman)!!!  Please pay her a visit and say hello.  I know you will love her as much as I do!!! 

Welcome to the Blogosphere Sue!!!!!

Jun. 11, 2006 - Your focus

Posted by Janna

Good luck with your new focus. I think it is good anytime to take a look at what we are doing and why we are doing it. Your blog is already a blessing, but may it be all that you and God would have it to be, impacting His kingdom! I'm looking forward to what you will be doing here.

Jun. 12, 2006 - Or you could just lie!

Posted by christinemoers

Ha! I've often thought of creating a completely fictitious blog. "Today I was parasailing, which was odd because normally I'm at the art museum on Mondays."

"Today was nothing special. The kids and I made an apple pie. They gathered too many apples from our orchard trees, so we took some to friends. The Clooneys are always excited when we bring them produce. They let the kids play in the media room ... something about raw footage from an upcoming Disney movie. I'm not really sure, but it kept the little ones quiet while the adults visited."

Hmmm ... this is almost too easy. I may really have to consider it! lolololol

Welcome to my home on the web! I am a 40 year old SAHM (14 years), homeschooling mom (8 years) and pastor's wife (18 years) who is embarking on becoming a chef/pastry chef, and starting a small business while my husband is teaching school, pastoring and working on his doctorate in ministry. We are busy, busy, busy... but I still make time to share all of that and more here. Thanks for stopping by and please come again... :)
