Thank you so much, Shower of Blessings, for nominating me for the Blogger Recognition Award! ย ๐
The Rules:
- Write a post to show your award.
- Give a brief story of how your blog started.
- Give two pieces of advice to new bloggers.
- Thank whoever nominated you, and provide a link to their blog.
- Select other blogs you want to give the award to.
A brief history of how my blog started:
This blog came into existence because a few of my friends have blogs, and I thought it might be a good idea. ๐ I intended this blog to be half Christian posts and half book reviews and everything else, but lately, I’ve been posting pretty much all Christianย topics so I suppose it has evolved into a mostly Christian blog. I do have a few boo reviews planned for the future though. They are Christian books. ๐
Advice to new bloggers:
When I started blogging, I new practically nothing about it. I was so lost. Thankfully, my friends helped me out with the setup and figuring out how things work. I discoveredย this post by TheDaddyBlitzย when someone reblogged it many months ago and it was a life saver. If you have a few minutes to spare, I recommend checking it out. ๐ Until I read that post, I didn’t even now I had an admin panel! So my first piece of advice would be to read that post, if that counts. ๐
Secondly, read a lot of blogsย so that you can like a lot of blog posts and comment on blogs! That’s how I discovered a lot of blogs, when they like me or comment on my posts. ๐
Nominees, in no particular order:
The Comfortable Coopย (or The Comfortable Coop)
Pete Gardner’s Blogย (or Pete Gardner’s Psalms? I wasn’t sure which to link to. XD )
Wrestling With Faith, Dancing With Jesus (Or Song of Virginity; I wasn’t sure which to link to. XD )
No pressure to accept, but have fun if you do! ๐
Very good way to describe how you started blogging. If I trace all the way, that’s also because several of my friends have blogs. Your advises are very good. In fact, I’ll check out the link. Thank you!

I am still pondering it! And, I like how you did this on a separate page on the menu. I have been twirling the proverbial mustache as I consider this! I feel like it is a “pay it forward” notion to lift up and support all the others out there pouring their hearts out.
