So often I have been asked why do I write a blog. Since I can remember I have always had a journal of some type. It has always been an outlet for me to express my true thoughts, ideas, prayers, feelings, and anything else that may cross my mind.
A little over 3 years ago I started with my first blog, "Expressions of a Working Mom." It's purpose was to reach out to working mothers like myself. To provide them with tips, tricks, comfort, and to let them know that they are not alone in the Mom/Business woman world. That blog became successful and had a ton of followers, but I found myself starting to write about what God was putting on my heart.
That is when I made the decision back in December of 2015 to retire Expressions of a Working Mom. When I posted that I was retiring the old blog, my husband immediately text me asking why. He knew that this was a passion of mine and that I really enjoyed writing, posting, and being able to help others. I explained to him that I felt that the blog was being steered in a new direction and purpose. He has supported me in that decision and enjoys reading my posts.
This may come as a surprise to a lot of you, but I am a severe introvert. I have a circle that I only let certain people in. I genuinely keep to myself and don't throw myself out there into unfamiliar territory. I have such troubles with new things, meeting people I don't know...etc... But those who know me would think I was not an introvert. I have hosted many a talent show in Jobs Daughters, led installations, hosted Halloween parties, and coached ritual at great success. But have always wanted to help others even more, but with my being an introvert it has been really hard.Thus my writing a blog has allowed me to reach out in my own comfort zone and help thousands.
I write about what God has put on my heart to share with you. I write to help you and I come closer to God. I write because I have so much to say about all the good that God is blessing our family with. I write because I may be reaching and touching the life of an introvert just like me.
I am in no way a professional writer. I don't get paid to write. But I am blessed to have a God who has given me a small talent and has showed me what to do with it.
That is why I write this blog.
With Love,
"B"
