What is success?

For 10 years I’ve wanted to blog.  I’ve attempted more times than I could even count, and never “succeeded”.  Or at least, I thought so. 

But really, what does it mean to SUCCEED at blogging?  Does it mean that you have 250,000 subscribers, instagram followers, and your own youtube channel?  If that is why I’m blogging then there is no real passion behind the words.  I’ve tried to blog about saving money, running, and just NOTHING.  Still, I never felt like it would be successful. 

Recently, I’ve struggled about purpose.  My two girls are in school full-time and after being a stay-at-home mom (SAHM) for 10 years I got to that point where I said, “Now what?”  I no longer have a preschooler that needs me 90% of the day.  That 90% of time is now spent at school, with the teachers who are loving and helping to mold them, but what about me?  I have a great home business that helps pay the bills, and I LOVE what I am able to do with it, but it doesn’t take 7 hours a day.  So how do I fill those hours?

In the words of Gru, “LIGHT BULB” 

Enter BLOGGING


My words may never be read by anyone but my best friends and my mom, and that is OK!  I don’t need to have hundreds of thousands of followers.  This blog is for ME!  For me to put my words out there and if people read them and are inspired to be better, do more, or are challenged to dive into God’s word then I’ve done my job.
