I want my online life, my writing, my social-media, all of it – I want it to influence people. I want my words to encourage people in their lives, I want my words to assure people they’re not alone, I want my words to inspire people, I want my words to challenge people, I want my words to be a direct reflection of who God is in my life. I want to share my journey in different areas of my life and what God is teaching me throughout it all. I want my blog to reflect me, my originality, my uniqueness, and only me. I will stay true to who I am and what I believe and that will reflect through my blog. I won’t be swayed by others thoughts of why I am doing what I do, or how they feel about blogging, but I will be confident in what God has spoken to me and laid on my heart to do. I want to gain friends, not just followers. I want people who truly read the words on the screen and want to follow along in my journey. I want to take advantage of all that this community has to offer. I don’t ever want to forget how much joy writing and being a part of the blogging community has brought me. If I ever lose the feelings that I feel right now, then I know that I have lost track of why I have started. I want to make the most of this journey and opportunity that God has brought into my life as much as I can.
My Blog Mission Statement: I will strive to make my online life mean something. My blog will encourage and uplift all those that visit it. I will be myself and never be swayed to stray away from what makes me who I am. My blog will seek to be a direct reflection of who I am and who God is in my life. All the while, I will seek to build relationships along the way.
What a thoughtful post. As someone new to blogging, it is a relief to know that even veteran bloggers are still figuring it out! I appreciate your candor and wish you luck with your mission statement.
A mission statement is a great idea! That never occurred to me! Love yours.
I've seen a lot of posts like this lately too! I think a mission statement is a brilliant idea, I need to write one for my blog I think!
Wow, I just wrote about something similar! HA! I love your mission statement and I just love your heart! I completely get what you are saying about God speaking to you about starting a blog. I was VERY hesitant to start one again, but I knew He wanted me to. One thing is for sure, I am so glad I got to meet you through it!:)
I really enjoyed reading your post. I have thought of doing a mission statement for my blog. There are things that I have read on the blogs that I read and things that I see them do that have often caused me to remind myself of the reasons why I blod.
Keep blogging from your heart.
I enjoy your honesty and your perspective.
WOW!!!! I absolutely love love love your mission statement. Seriously I am so inspired by it that I pinned it so I can remember! Glad I could encourage you with the idea to do this 🙂
Your adorable. I am so glad I came across this as it has been on my mind as well. There are times I choose between a moment of playtime with my daughter or a cuddle on the couch with my hubby to blog- so I want to make sure it is a meaningful endeavor! Thank you for sharing this!
Great mission statement girl! Yes, to make this online life mean something, something greater than myself, to turn people to HIM!
I absolutely love this!
I also needed to step back recently and think about what my blog was saying about me and realized it was not reflecting how I wanted it to be. I have been slowly changing that, but a mission statement is definatly in order.
New Follower, found you on The Dwelling Tree and I am glad I did. Very uplifting and positive blog.
Thanks,
Laura
