• Tuesday, June 17, 2008 - The "Why Homeschoolblogger.com?" Challenge...:)

 

I recently saw on Narniagirl's blog that Miss Elizabeth from Walkinginhissteps is having a Challenge. It is called So Why Homeschoolblogger.com? To Learn more about the challenge please click on the icon above. :)

 

So here in my post I have answered Miss Elizabeth's questions about Why I started a blog, Why I wanted a blog, and what my goals are that I want to achieve through blogging. :)

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

So Why did I start a blog on homeschoolblogger? Well, it all started on the day, over breakfast at Bobevans, that my parents discussed with me about me being homeschooled. (I was in 6 weeks of 7th grade and had gone to public school since Kindergarden.) Since it was a Saturday, that monday my mom and dad pulled me out of Public School. :):):) During the weekend before I got pulled out of public school, since I knew I was going to be homeschooled I thought to myself: "hmmm...I wonder if any homeschooled girls have blogs?" Both my mom and dad had blogs so that is why the idea came to my mind.

So, I typed in a Yahoo search engine "Homeschool Girls that have blogs" and Homeschoolblogger.com came up and I clicked on it! I thought it was SO neat! On Wednesday September 26th, 2006 with my mom's help I started my blog and wrote my very first entry HERE. That is how I started my blog! It was Definitely a God thing! This would have Never happened without Him!

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Why did I want a blog? Well, since I was new with being homeschooled I wanted to make friends that I had something in common with. I also thought it would be Alot of fun! :)

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 What are my goals to achieve with my blog? Well, Above All I want to honor God in all I write and do! I would like to encourage and bring christian homeschoolers closer to the Lord in some of my writings. I would also like to make more new blog friends and comment more. :)

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

And I wanted to do one more question that wasn't one of Miss Elizabeth's. How has Blogging changed my life? I have changed alot in my way of writing. In my first posts I wrote short little ones about what I had been doing, which I still do but my posts are way longer. :) I also went into a fun text coloring phase when I was new to blogging. lol I also sound alot more mature than I did when I started. :)

 

One other way blogging has changed my life is that I have such amazing blog friends! You all are such a blessing to me! I have made a lot of neat friendships and in a way blogging has made me not as shy in real life. :)

 

Blogging has really been a blessing from God and He has taught me many things through having a blog as well. :)

 

Here are my Stats as of today: (I did have more posts, some of my post were really drafts, so I deleted those.)

 

 Entries Written: 137

Comments written: 401

Comments recieved: 627

My Friends: 85

I hope everyone enjoyed reading about how I became a blogger! :) Thank you all for being such great friends! May you have a Wonderful and Blessed day! :)

I'm glad you got my letter! I think beng pen-pals will be fun, too. I don't know that I'll post some more today-like I said in my letter about this evening (today's Thursday) and my friend (well she's my mom's friend, too) has to come and get her milk and she'll probably bring her 2 boys with her and probably come and stay for lunch! I hope so! And if it's hot enough they're going to go swimming with us.
I hope you have a wonderful day, too!

Hey Liz,

I was glad to hear from you too. You are one of the few friends from when I began blogging that I still have! Thanks for sticking by me. ;)

I was really intrigued reading about why you started on HSB. I am so glad that you started a blog, and that God helped you find HSB!! :D

I also know what you mean about a color phase... if you go back and read some of my posts, you have to highlight them because they are so bright. lol! I went back and read your first post. I agree that your writing has improved, mine has too.

Anyway, I thought it was very interesting, and again, I am very glad you started a blog!! :) We would never have become friends if you hadn't.

Thanks for the comment on my template. I like your new one, too! I like how it stays the same but the flower at the top changes; I enjoy looking at those. You pick pretty pictures! (that could be a tongue twister)

And now, I have a question. I've been wanting to e-mail some of my closest friends, and your name popped up. So, if you are allowed, would you like to e-mail each other?

Have a blessed week!
