I started my blog so that I could keep in touch with my friends, my family in CT, and maybe meet a few other people who blog. All too often I find myself checking my statistics, seeing how many subscribers I have, VS how many followers. Amanda and I actually had a conversation yesterday morning about the fact that we have more subscribers than we do people who comment on our blogs. But seriously. Why do I care?
God designed me, he knew his plan from me from the moment he created the earth. I was designed as a being to worship and follow him. Not to care about how many comments I get everyday. About how many readers I have. Honestly. Who cares? By wondering these things, by caring so much, I'm not doing what God intended for me. I'm not honoring and glorifying him.
I love my readers, I do, don't get me wrong. I love reading other blogs, and the support I get from my friends on my blog. I love getting comments, and i love sending comments. I just need to be more focused on what God has in store for me, than what people in blog land are up to. Had I never started my blog, I never would have followed Joshua's story, CF Husband, Tristen Asher, or Jacob Ryan.
I'm going to work at not caring so much. Loving God is so much more gratifying.
