...how you felt when you started your blog? A few weeks ago when I celebrated my one year anniversary, I started thinking about the day I wrote my first post. I remember clicking on publish, looking at what I had written and thinking, "Will anyone ever read this?" At the time I had two friends that blogged ...that's it... two. No one in my family blogged either. So, how was anyone going to find me....the new blogger on the block?
I went to the two blogs I knew about and started visiting around leaving comments and in a few days.... I had my first comment!!! I can't tell you how excited I was. Rebecca will always have a special place in my heart for that wonderful surprise! Through the year I have met more of you and, as I have told you before, you are a delightful blessing in my life!
Anyway, I said all that to say this.....on my anniversary, I was thinking..."How could I go about finding new bloggers?" I would love to encourage them in their new endeavor......just as all of you have encouraged me. Well, I found one yesterday! She left a comment on another blog and I decided to visit her. She began blogging in January. Her name is Pam and she calls her place Hummingbirds and Lace. So, drop by and say hello..... I know your visit would be a blessing to her! She'll be so surprised!! :-)
P.S. Update on baby: improving slightly everyday....will probably be in hospital until next week. Pray that she will sleep and that her enzymes will multiply.... that is what she needs to improve more quickly. Thanks for your concern...her grandmother is very grateful for all of your prayers!
I can relate to your feelings ... I can hardly believe I've blogged for almost 2 1/2 years now... and what has surprised me is the friends one can make in this way. I only wish I had more time ... there are so many wonderful writers.
ReplyDeleteYou have been an encouragement to me too.
Praising the Lord for progress - and answered prayers. Excited to "meet" a new blogger - thanks for link. I hope to begin blogging again in the next week or so....
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend:)
Happy 1st Anniversary.
ReplyDeleteYes, the same thing happened to me but it took me the longest time to leave a comment. I was scared to death to leave a comment. Then it started to happen.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you found me.
You have blessed me so much.
So glad that the baby is improving. We are all glad that you decided to start I blog, and I will be visiting the new blogger. A rattlesnake? Your grandson? Now that is a scary thing! So happy that one is gone. Have a wonderful weekend! Jackie
ReplyDeleteawww! I remember when I ran across your blog (not sure whose blog you commented on which led me to you) and I was tickled to be your first commenter. Your words of wisdom have blessed me on many occasions this year!
ReplyDeleteI remember when I posted for the first time too, and like you, I wondered if anyone would ever visit my blog? Like you, I also visited Pam at her beautiful blog and I know for sure, that everyone will be blessed by their visit there. Thank you for sharing her blog and writing what you did. I am so thankful that I found your blog.
