Heart Reflections Live

Well, it's hard for me to believe that I've actually been blogging for a year now! I started with the intent of encouraging other Christian women online, especially those who are Mothers- though I'm always pleased to hear if my thoughts have lifted & encouraged or challenged anyone in the blogosphere.

I set out with the goal of doing 2 or 3 posts per week, God-willing. Some weeks I've achieved this, & some weeks I haven't. I've had some really topsy-turvy weeks with unexpected medical emergencies (Hubby's heart), or children passing the dreaded winter coughs, cold & flu around, & around again, but I figure if I miss doing a post or 2, because I'm caring for my family, then that's OK. If I'm blogging about being a Godly Helpmeet & Mama, & then not doing it myself then there's no point blogging & all. I strive to be real in my posts.

I've enjoyed the Christian fellowship with other ladies online, through swapping comments back & forth. It's great to be able to share thoughts on growing in Godliness, the Word of God, recipes & practical stuff like how to clean the house with a toddler in tow!

I figure my first blogging anniversary is a great excuse to call to some of my lurkers to come out of hiding & introduce yourselves!! I know you're there- that's what the measles on my map are for! I'd love to know where you're from, how you found my blog & if you enjoy reading. A special big thankyou to my regular commenters- you know who you are!- you really lift me up too & make writing a real pleasure. Now for my second year!! Stay tuned!!
