Hello
everyone. I’m coming to you a bit early
this week because there are some things I’d like to share with you that go
beyond my regular weekly posts. I’ve
been doing a lot of praying, seeking, searching, and reflection in regards to
my blog page, my writing in general, and God’s plan and purpose for it all and
it’s all been quite eye opening but also a bit mind boggling as well. He has been speaking to me through so many
little things lately that I can’t write fast enough. My husband is absolutely astounded at the
sheer number of pens I’ve ran out of ink over the past few months, as I’ve
filled numerous notebooks full of the ideas that just keep flowing…I imagine
this is only going to increase that much more when I attend She Speaks three
weeks from now. Wow! Is it really only three weeks away
already? Scary!
When I first
got started on this blogging journey, I had absolutely no clue what I was
doing; especially on the technical side of things, but I didn’t want that to
stop me from stepping out in faith, so I went ahead and got started
anyway. Now that I’m getting a bit more
comfortable, I figured it’s high time to step out of my box again and start
figuring out some of this techy stuff.
With that being said, while there are many changes that are continually
being made to enhance the page and your experience when you visit here, there
are a few changes that offer more to you the reader directly, so I want to
share those with you directly.
Ch-Change #1: “Faithful Fans”
membership option
(aka becoming a follower of The Word
vs. the world)If you’re a family member, friend, sister or brother in Christ, fellow warrior of His Word, or simply someone who enjoys what’s being shared here @ The Word vs. the world, then I invite you to show your support by signing up to join this site. Not only is it completely free and really easy to do, but it will also come with special rewards and opportunities in the near future – being entered into drawings for prizes, and optional survey/feedback offers to help with upcoming projects just to name a couple. How do you join? When you finish reading this post, make sure to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page. There you will find the “join this site” box to enter your info. I look forward to meeting you there!
This is something I’ve wanted to do from the beginning, but was clueless how to go about it. A dear friend of mine who is a photographer was kind enough to point me in the direction of some software to get me started. My goal is to not only create my own posters for each post, but also to go back and create ones for all my old posts as well, as I have time. In addition to that, you will find a link below each poster that will bring you directly to that pin on my new The Word vs. the world Pinterest board. If you’re on Pinterest, this will enable you to quickly and easily re-pin the ones you love, but whether you’re on Pinterest or not, please feel free to share and use the posters on your own blogs, FB, etc. All that I ask is that you also include the link. Lastly, in regards to Pinterest, I’ve also added a Pinterest page to the blog page itself. This can be found as a tab at the top of the page. There you will find the link to The Word vs. the world board itself, rather than just a specific pin. I invite all you Pinterest lovers to come follow me there as well, where you will also find more fun scripture and quote pins related to the topics of this blog. Here is a preview of my first three original creations (in addition to the one for this post). I have barely scratched the surface of possibilities with these, but it’s a start…

Ch-Ch-Ch-Change #3: Coming to you with
more frequent blog posts / “Teaching Tuesdays”
When I first got started blogging
here, the plan was to write multiple times a week; however, I quickly
discovered that in creating new habits, it’s best to start small and then build
on it. Now that my first goal of
consistency has been established, I’d like to start building on that with
frequency by adding what I’m calling “Teaching Tuesdays” – a post where I can
share with you two things: #1 - a condensed itemized list of the things I
learned from the previous week (which will help in processing and implementation
of the info), and #2 – at least one, but up to five of my favorite links to the
blog posts, devotions, ministries, web pages, etc. that taught me the week before. As a blogger/writer/student of the Word, I’ve
come to recognize, not only the importance of continually pursuing wisdom from
Godly sources, but also in the praising, and promoting of fellow followers and
sharers of Christ and God’s Kingdom. By
doing so, it is my hope to create a source of accountability when it comes to
ensuring my continued growth while at the same time pointing others in the
direction to some of the great available sources out there to draw from as
well. We’ll get this started next
Tuesday. I am so excited to share with
you some awesome links that God has been speaking to me through!*original starred images courtesy of Amy Henderson Photography
