Blog Birthday, Giveaways to Follow
By Renae
I’m a reluctant writer, so sometimes I wonder why I started blogging. Sharing my heart on the internet reveals insecurities I didn’t know existed. Words are the resting place of ideas, so clicking letters are tools to process my hidden thoughts. These thoughts are personal. They are my innermost property distributed on the waters of the internet.
During the beginning of this casting, my brain raced after I published a post. Mentally combing every word, I wondered what the response would be. My ideas were exposed. Parts of my heart opened for anyone to see, but a different kind of relationship emerged based purely on ideas and common goals.
It doesn’t matter if I wear mismatched pajamas, out-dated glasses, or need a haircut. You do not see the external, yet you are getting to know the private me, the me alone in the evening when the house is quiet, and my thoughts can fly. Sometimes they move too far too fast, and it is laborious to catch them, but that is the work of writing. And it is work, much more work than I realized. However, the reward is sweet. Rubbing ideas sharpens them, so thank you for reading and commenting and sharing your journey.
A year ago, I only knew of a couple homeschool blogs. Now I realize I am one voice among multitudes expressing the importance of family and education. One voice added to the throng doesn’t seem important, but God works through individuals, and if he can use a donkey, I know he can use me.
Today Life Nurturing Education is one-year-old. Instead of serving cyber cake to celebrate, I decided to have a week long giveaway. Four Schooling at Home Estians are participating with gift certificates for their beautiful creations. I look forward to introducing them, so be sure to come back tomorrow for your chance to win stunning jewelry from mompotter.
