This little blog of mine, we’ve been through an awful lot together. My first ever blog entry was July 19, 2006. Nine years ago y’all. NINE. I’ve been a part of the blog-o-sphere for nine years. Here is my first ever blog entry:
I can’t believe that I just actually created a blog, this blows my mind. I guess these days though it seems that everyone blogs so I figured I might as well join in. It will give me a place to share my thoughts, views, ideas and layouts. I’m so excited to be starting on this journey!!
It was started as an outlet, a way to share my scrapbook pages and a way to keep in touch with family. But then something happened. As time went on, more and more people started reading.
A few months back, I glanced at my site meter. I saw something that was beyond anything I could have imagined. I have readers from Russia, Canada, China, United Kingdom, Germany, Philippines, France and Malaysia. And I realized, in that moment, that this blog was my Ministry. God has done something I never, in a million years, would have imagined this country girl from a tiny town in central Pennsylvania doing. I have actually “went into the world” from my living room.
Every day I write blog posts to inspire others and make them smile; to share hope, grace and truth; to share my own mistakes and sins; to share my heart; and to share Jesus and His amazing love with others around the world.
I absolutely want my blog to be a happy, positive place. A place where you know, even on your worst day, you can leave it with a smile on your face and feel refreshed. A place where the heart of Jesus shines through.
