This blog has been a wonderful outlet. I’ve loved sharing random stories, craft projects, and ramblings about nothing. It was perfect when I was feeling unfulfilled and needed something to bring some purpose back to my life.

But recently I’ve realized I’m trying to turn it into something that it was never intended to be.

Drew and I created this blog to share about our life together. The original intent was to share about some of our mission work together, like our trip to Nicaragua and our plans for the Hope Community dinner.

Then I hijacked it. And my loving husband allowed me to, while he embarked on a separate project for himself; his comedy blog. He interjected a few posts here and there, but on the whole, it’s been me. I believe it’s time to take this blog back to it’s original purpose: a platform to tell our friends and family about our life. I will continue to post my random posts, but hopefully my husband will feel more welcome to put his random thoughts as well.

I have recently been reading an ebook on blogging: 31 Days to Finding Your Blogging Mojo. (If you’re a blogger and feeling kind of stuck, I highly recommend this book.)  It was written by a guy that spoke briefly at the Quitter Conference. He’s been blogging for over 10 years and has lots of great advice. The more I’ve read the more I’ve realized that the blog in my head is not this blog. I’ve been longing for a focused, concise blog that I can pour my passions and energy into.

I’ve been spending a lot of time writing lately, particularly about worship. I am passionate about worship, but suddenly there’s a huge disconnect toward it. I’ve been writing a lot about that to try and find some answers. I’ve realized that I need to devote a blog to that and that alone. So, with the help of my tech-savvy husband, I will launch a new blog and project next week. We are fine tuning it and I am super excited to see what happens with it. Stay tuned!

I hope that you will join me on this new journey, but if not, I’ll still be here.
