Blogging Believer

Over the past few days, I have been doing some much needed blog stalking. I used to stalk others' blogs frequently, almost a part of my daily routine. Somewhere between moving to a new city, planning a wedding, and trying to figure out the "big picture" for my life, I stopped stalking fellow bloggers.

With a little down time this weekend and a peaceful house (Ryan went for a Golden Gate Bridge bike ride and worked for a few hours), I was able to catch up on the lives of others and delve into their hearts. Some are funny, recaps of their daily activities with children or spouse. Others exhibit photos of their loved ones and recent adventures. But so many inspire me. They inspire me to fulfill a purpose in life; to do something extraordinary; to live a Christian life; to be a better fiance (and wife when that day comes); to be an amazing mother (God-willing that day comes); to love myself, to love others, and to love God above all.

I would be lying if I said I didn't often get blog envy, in a good way. I see the following on several friends' blogs and I wonder how so many people came to be followers. Then I realize that these women and their stories are touching lives daily. Maybe not every post touches their heart, but something sometime did and that made people follow them. The inner workings of a woman's mind and heart are a powerful thing.

Through my blog, which exploits my fears, my failures, my inhibitions, my successes, and my dreams, I hope to touch the lives of people too. Because what better way to pay back those who have touched mine.
