The last couple of days I’ve been thinking about writing this post but I just wasn’t sure what to write. Whenever I would think about creating a post this topic would always come to forefront of my mind making it almost impossible to write about anything else. So I figure this is what the Lord wants me to write about.
Why do I blog? I know why I blog. The Lord knows why I blog. However when planning this post out, I just couldn’t come up with the words to express my reasons. I started blogging in 2008 after my 2nd child was born and I quit my full time job to become a stay at home mom. At first blogging was just something new to learn and something that was just mine. Not my kids, not my husbands, just mine.
Quickly I discovered the world of work at home moms and began trying to build a work at home business. It took me a while, but I have finally found my niche. Looking back at all that I know now, I understand why the Lord had me go in the direction He did. Without experiences those wins and loses there is no way I would be here now doing exactly what the Lord intended all along.
So what am I doing? I’m praising the Lord. I’m helping other Christians get started in their online businesses and blogs. I am able to use my WordPress and web design skills to help other Christian bloggers and entrepreneurs. I’m able to do what I love while serving the Lord at the same time. It’s an awesome thing. If you would have asked me 2 years ago where I would be today, I would have never imagined where I am at.
So when I am asked, “Why do you blog?” I answer to serve the Lord.

My blog is my ministry. I hope to show readers how the Lord works in our everyday lives. A community like this one keeps me on track!
I agree – I blog to serve the Lord! Blogging is a wonderful connection with other like-minded Christian women as well as an outreach to those searching for the Truth. I feel blessed to serve Him in this way.

I started out blogging so I could learn more about social media as I’d been working with my husband on his tech company. Heart Choices was initially a health blog but over time I kept going back to writing on more spiritual issues. It has become a ministry for me and a way to connect with others. Working from home can be isolating but now I have lots of blogging friends to ‘talk to’.
Blessings and love,
Debbie
I’ve been reading through your blogs and feel so blessed to read all your info. and advice.
I am new to blogging but why do I blog? It is just expressing my thoughts on God and life. I have always taught or led worship and used that as an outlet of expression. However, I moved to a mega church in CA where no one really knows my gifts and it is hard to fit in.
At first I felt out of place and unuesed. When I began blogging, I realized if I only write for myself, it is ok. I feel fulfilled.
So I write because I can and I love putting my thoughts into words!
