6-3-2008 - Why HSB?

Hmm... Why Did I Choose HSB?

                    I first heard of HSB through melarooski, who would always sign her name with a link to her blog underneath it. I was a frequent reader and commenter (at the time, I was ten) and one day decided that I wanted a blog, because it looked fun. Not a very good reason, I know, but I was only ten.

                    My mom wasn't sure if I was capable of writing posts that were somewhat interesting, so she let me use microsoft publisher to make a *fake* blog. Lo and behold, I did a fine job keeping up with it (or so she said) and was allowed a blog on HSB.

                    Here a problem arose, what should it be called? My *fake* blog had been called HorseCrazy, but that was already taken, so I started thinking, and thinking, and thinking some more, and crochetcrazy popped into my head. It has nothing to do with horses! was my only complaint, but it was the best I could come up with, so it stuck.

                    Once I'd made my blog, I notified all of my friends in real life, and here's my first post, entitled "Hello!":

Hi, my name is Renee and I'm going to tell you a little bit about myself! I am a Christian, Homeschool girl who loves God, my mother and father, my sister, my cats, horses and crochet! I am 11 and currently in 6th grade. My favorite verse is Romans 5:8- But God demonstrates His own love towards us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. I believe that the only way that anyone can get to heaven is by faith in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.                                                                                                                                    Thank-you for taking time out of your day to read this, I really appreciate it!                             Renee  

                     There you go, my first post. I've posted over a hundred entries already, and have received over five hundred & fifty comments!

                    When I first started this blog, my goal was to make lots of friends and receive lots of comments. My new goal (since I've already met my previous goal ;-) is that I may bless those who read my blog.

                Thank you all for being such lovely friends, and for helping me grow in my walk with the Lord. I am truly blessed by all of you, and will continue to read your blogs! ;-)
