Favorite Posts
I started blogging in January of 2008. At first I wanted to use my blog as a way to connect to the people that I was living far away from, but eventually my blog started to evolve.
Now my blog is a neat way for my to seek balance and record myself along the way. While I do tend to blog a lot, this isn’t my full time gig. For me it is just a fun way to be creative and engage in a ministry outside of the church walls. Blogging is a great way for me to record my life, to stay connected with family and friends and even to make some new friends.
Over the past 3+ years, I have turned out over 1,000 posts! My posts are on topics ranging anywhere from food to faith, photography, running, DIY projects and – my favorite! – life in general. If you are new to my blog (or just want some reading for a raining day), the posts can be hard to weed through.
But fear not! I have compiled a list of my favorite posts right here. They are listed chronologically from the bottom up.
Enjoy!
