The Moment I Started A Blog

This blog has been two years in the making.

Back in 2017, when my husband and I were living in a hotel for a month, (that’s a blog for another day), God placed it on my heart to write a blog. I wasn’t quite sure where to start so I took to Google. Through endless hours of researching, pinteresting, googling, and debating, because my indecisiveness is on a whole other level, I finally came up with a blog name.

When Moments Become Memories.

I chose this name because I knew I wanted to share those critical moments in my life, whether happy, heartbreaking, hopeless, or hysterical, that have turned into my memories that last a lifetime. I wanted to use those memories to glorify God and to show His goodness. I wanted to create a space that people could come to and say, “Yes, me too.”

So two years ago, I began. I found a website start up and paid for my domain name. Then, I didn’t know where to go from there. So I stopped.

All through the next year, I received emails from the site host to finish my blog, but I kept thinking, “I don’t have the time.” I made excuse after excuse and after a year, I called my site host and cancelled my subscription. The blog would just have to wait.

Now, it is 2019 and creating a blog is still etched on my heart. When my husband and I planned our first vision weekend, I knew this would be the perfect time to start again. Over the last year, I had envisioned this blog and the posts I would write. I envisioned how it could be a tool for God’s glory. I dreamt of the people I would meet and the impact it would make.

So here I am writing my first blog post. Lying in an AirBnB bed, with my husband next to me, excited to see this vision come to life. Eager to see in a year what this blog will become. Whom I will get to connect to. Whose lives I will touch, and who will touch mine.
