So. Hmm. This blog. . .well, it has been a bit of a hodgepodge over the last few years. I started it ithe summer of 2007 when I was traveling for Faith Baptist Bible College on a music team. I gave updates about our travels to family and friends. Then the summer was over and I started a full-time job working for Faith. I didn't really have a lot of time to blog and then I started dating Andrew and we got married and that was the end of the blog!
The blog has been neglected for at least the last 2 years. Andrew keeps telling me that I need to get a game-plan for it or maybe I should just not do it. The majority of the hits on my blog are for the videos I have posted or the lyrics to a song. Writing is not easy for me. Andrew is the writer in our family! But, I have these ideas in my head and I feel like I need to get them out. I realize that I don't really have a following for my blog and that is fine with me. I have been reading so many great things and I want to share them with others. I think that is one reason why I want to get back into blogging.
I have also struggled with how personal to make this blog. At the beginning, I didn't want to put a lot of personal information out on the net. But, the majority of the blogs that I read are personal. They talk about their families and their lives. Let's be honest, that is why we like to read them! I am realizing that I just need to write and not worry about it being too personal!
Anyway, back to the beginning. I am trying to decide what to do with the blog. I have thought about writing about leaving the fundamentalist cult in which I grew up. I'm not sure I want to do that. I also have been reading a lot of books and I might review some of them. I have my best ideas for writing when I am giving the baby her bottle right before nap. By the time I make it downstairs the thoughts have all left. I also have a hard time trying to end my blogpost. Most of the time I feel like I am just ending but not really closing it out like I should.
I think it comes down to me putting pressure on myself to be like other blogs but not really be me. I am working on being myself instead of trying to be like everyone else! This is not coming easy for me and it is taking a long time. A lot longer than I want it to take!
Thanks for listening, friend.

I follow your blog...and was sooo excited to see a new post!! I struggle with a lot of the same issues and haven't been very consistent in my blogging either. Best wishes as you work things out. I'm off to try to craft a blog since my cousin begged for a new post. :)
