If I have counted correctly, this is my 400th blog post since I first began on October 4th, 2022. Writing has always been a joy to me (I know, I’m a little weird). Even in school, term papers were always something I relished. If I could write a paper instead of taking a test, I was all in.
Over the last three and a half years, I’ve laughed and cried over some of my posts. The laughter was usually the result of the good memories that I recalled. The tears were usually because the message that God laid on my heart was to convict me, regardless of whether it convicted anyone else. My goal has always been to keep my writing true to Scripture, and as a result, I have studied the Bible more than ever before. I truly believe that the Holy Spirit inspired at least 95% of my posts, so the credit is all His, not mine.
Lately, however, I think that God is leading me to take a break. I feel that He is prompting me towards something, but I’m just not sure what that “something” is. I know that it has been increasingly difficult to come up with a topic for each post, which was seldom an issue in the past. For these reasons, I’m taking a sabbatical from blogging. This will be my last regular post until August 4th. During this time, I’ll be focusing on my regular Bible studies, rekindling my love of reading, and spending time seeking the Lord’s guidance for what lies ahead.
If you would like to continue to receive my blog when it restarts, please send your e-mail address to me at thesunporchlady@gmail.com. Upon receipt, I will send you a list of 10 Scriptures you can pray over your children and family members. I will also add you to my subscribers, which will give you immediate access to each blog post. If you are currently subscribed through “follow.it”, it will no longer be active, so you will need to resubscribe. During the Sabbatical, I may also post an occasional list of other Scriptures that you may find helpful, but you will need to subscribe to receive those. Your e-mail will not be used for any other purpose and will not be given or sold to any other person or entity.
I have no idea what God has in store for this next chapter of retirement, but I look forward to staying focused on those “good works which He has prepared in advance for me to do” (Ephesians 2:10). I hope you will stay connected so that you can join me on the journey. Don’t forget to send me your e-mail at thesunporchlady@gmail.com
