Comments on: Sharing the Truth…

You know, if I “waited to get it right”, I would have never received all the riches Christ offers me. He did what He did when I was a sinner, not when I was perfect (smiling here since I’m certain I’m still a sinner and He’s STILL doing what He’s always done on my behalf).

Blogging is a lovely way to encourage, even influence, those who step into our world. You never know what might do that for others, so when I write, I try to be true to who I am, consistent….and honor the relationship I have in Christ. I struggle in a million different ways, and I think sharing those struggles have done more to encourage sisters in the faith than appearing like I have it all together. “Real” seems to be a Christian buzzword these days, but somehow “real” is what people respond to. Could anyone have been more “real” than Jesus??

Thanks always for how you encourage your readers (thanks for doing the same for me ).

You are a great example of Christ’s love online and a great encourager. Plus we both adore the same book

Your blog, and others, remind me that there are real people, and there is hope for mankind.

We don’t get that kind of encouragement from the media.

If you listen to the news you start thinking “I’m the only sane person left.”

God Bless you and your readers.

Hi girlfriend! I love peeking at your blog here to keep in touch, and think you do a great job. You asked why we blog. I started blogging two years ago because I’m already a compulsive writer, but felt God’s convicting pull to minister via the internet. I blog to minister to believers and nonbelievers alike. Blogging can be a tool in the right hands to point others to faith in Christ, or at least help plant hope. Writing is my calling. Bloggin is just one medium.

God bless you and sending big HUGS!!

Those are all great reasons to be blogging – more than I can say I’m blogging for. I do it because…
a- I can
b- I want to
c- Nothing else to do LOL
d- To kind of keep track with what is going on so maybe one day I can reflect on it. Tho, I’m not so good at journaling my life. LOL

Just found your site through She Lives. What great reasons to blog. I’m new and have thought vaguely about why I do it (other than just shooting the breeze). You got me thinking!

I too have problems with being a one-on-one witness which is why I add scripture to everyone of my posts. They are not just words but are tie ins to what I am posting about. I agree with Carol in that your words are always encouraging here on your blogs and in your comments to others.
