I got a notice from WordPress that I’ve been a WordPress user for 14 years now. Wow. I’ve had several different sites, but the blog site, in various forms, has been the primary one on WordPress. Before I switched over, I used Blogger for several years.
My blog domain is about to expire and I don’t plan to renew it. I will still have an active site at faithbychoicetoday@wordpress.com. There just won’t be the availability to request to receive emails of the posts. Then, next summer, I will decide if I want to keep the site ad-free or revert to the free-to-me site. Or, as many “experts” suggest, I should make my blog a subscrition based site. They suggest you make the cost low so that all it does is pay for the site and domain. A monthly buck or two per subsciber would easily take care of basic expenses. I don’t know.
I currently have three active websites, and that has become more than I want to handle. My publishing site may become a general site to use for all my writing, blogs, novels, inspirationals, marketing, etc. That of course depends on if I continue writing. That is in God’s hands. This last year has been a trial unlike any I’ve ever had, (here I am being so dramatic lol) and He has been so faithful to keep me pushing ahead. But it may be time to make choices I don’t want to make, but know they will benefit me. So, I’ve given it to Him, and will see how and if things go foreward.
As of now, it is obvious I haven’t been consistent in my blogging, and I am in prayer about that. Perhaps I will chose something different, limit myself to one thing to actively consider ministry. Right now, that ministry effort seems to be focused on my novel writing. I’m about a fourth of the way through the next faith based novel, and want to continue that. After that is finished, I’m not sure what will happen.
Blogs from this point on may be conversations like this. Or sharing something the Lord has shown me. Or maybe I’ll revert back to some of the older blogs where I included photos, recipes and odds and ends of pieces of my life. At this point, anything is possible.
I am not at all discouraged. In a way I am looking forward to seeing what God has in store for me.
Hot summer days in northwest Missouri. Stay cool my friends – Vicki
