( a repost because this blogger has been busy but I hope to get back to it soon. . .and, everything below still pertains)
You Know You're A Blogger When . . .
. . .you start carrying a camera everywhere you go.
. . .every sentence sounds like a post title.
. . .you have post it notes all over the room with post ideas.
. . .when you start having dreams at night about your posts.
. . .when you've learned what HTML code is and how to transfer it.
. . .you understand what a link party is.
. . .when you see a field of cow patties and your first thought is, "How could that be made into a post?"
. . .when you burn your pot holders and you immediately take a picture of them and write a post about it.
. . .when you see your button on other's blog sites.
. . .when you're willing to devulge your age for the sake of a post.
. . .when you're willing to devulge your age for the sake of a post.
. . .when you begin to have a lot more friends from around the world than you do in your small circle.
. . .when you devulge the most vulnerable part of yourself, your, hurts, your craziness, praying it will help others.
. . .when people start coming to you, telling how your posts have helped and they share their stories with you.
. . .when people start coming to you, telling how your posts have helped and they share their stories with you.
. . .when people begin to publish your stories.
Never in a million years did I ever think I would write to share with the world. But then God spoke the word "Write" and I ignored. He spoke again and I argued, He spoke again and again and again. He kept telling me, "Share from your heart, and I will do the rest." I weakly said, "Ok."
I'm so glad I did. It has become a joy to write, to learn, to make new friends, even to become vulnerable and share hard things, because it has brought many to me who have shared their hard stories with me and we have the priveledge to bring these things before the Lord together.
What an honor that is and as I've said before, may all the things from this place bring glory and honor to the One who started all of this.
And if anything is good here, it is all from Him.
And if anything is good here, it is all from Him.
Thank you Father!
"It's a strange thought that sometimes God trusts us more
than we trust Him. Maybe all along He was saying "I knew
you could. I know what's in you. I know what's in you
because I am in you. And I am your all surpassing power
in a jar of clay. Watch me show off,
from the inside out".

I started reading your post and had to laugh. That's me ...my camera goes everywhere. I have lots of friends now all over the world. I could identify with many of your points. Loved it.
Kristin, thanks for making me smile as I recognized myself through each of these "symptoms" of a blogger. Even when I take my dog out to the dog run I bring my little camera.
