Blog Changes

So I was recently reading twitter posts which lead to me clicking on a link to an article written by Michael Hyatt. Had never heard of him but let me just say that this blog post was really good. So then I started clicking through his blog and he had an article somewhere about how to start a blog. I, of course, started my blog after reading some friends' blogs and really enjoying them. I know I am no Dooce, heck I am not even McMommy, but I live far away from a lot of my friends because we move so much and it is nice to be able to keep in touch with each others' weird, deep, sweet moments of life even if we are doing it in the blog world instead of over a cup of coffee. When I started I just started writing whatever I was thinking that day. Michael Hyatt suggests that we find our 2 or 3 passions and focus our writing on those. I liked that because over the last year I have noticed I spent quite a bit of time at first writing about my interactions with my kids and what I was learning about motherhood. But over the summer, when I was preparing to teach and was spending a lot of time in studying the book of Acts, I was writing more about the Bible and what I was learning about God. Both of those are real passions of mine. I love to write about the cute or challenging moments I have with my kids, what I am learning as a mom. I also love to write about what I am learning about God, how a Bible passage has encouraged me or where I have been challenged in my thinking about God and who we are in Him. And then there are those times when I really must share my Twilight obsession or favorite funny blogs. Now some of my audience, all five of you, might be interested in all of these topics. But some people may only want to read my stories of forgotten shoes and the battles of Motherhood. Or may just want to hear what God is teaching me this week but not care how cute my Little One really is. And if you are one of those people, I have now created a three categories of writing that you can just skip to by clicking on the topic of your choice on the right sidebar. If you really want to avoid the other stuff you can bookmark just the list you like. I am not really very creative so my labels are Motherhood, God and The extra stuff. So click to where you want to go. I guess what I am saying is here we serve it your way. Enjoy!
