Sharing Hope that Anchors the Soul

The Birth of This Blog

by

I would like to introduce my new blog about my journey of Faith, Hope, and Love.

Refuse to Sink

Almost two years ago I had an idea to start a blog. Was this God speaking to me? What do I know about blogging, let alone writing? I’ve journaled for many years, written a few poems and silly stories but that’s about it. I had an interest in learning so I started reading some blogs and researching the how’s and why’s. My interest began to grow through the many interesting blogs I found. I thought, “Maybe I can do this”, “I think that same thing!”, and “I could have written that story too.”

I thought about it and prayed for months. I just wasn’t sure. It was probably close to a year later I received an email from Proverbs 31 Ministries, introducing a new online training opportunity they were starting. For writers and speakers. I was intrigued and asked a few friends to pray if this was God’s will for me or not. My husband told me to sign up, try it out and if it’s not for me I could always cancel it. As a member of Compel Training, I learned so much from Lysa TerKeurst, Glynnis Whitwer, Suzie Eller and many of the Proverbs 31 Ministries team.

Approximately nine months after joining Compel Training, my blog is finally a reality. I’m excited about this passion for writing that has been developing and I am looking forward to offering life-giving words.

My prayer is that you will be blessed and encouraged here.
