Well, the blog has been live for less than a week and already, we've had 122 visitors...though, between Nina and I checking and re-checking for errors and odds and ends, it's probably a little less than that:) If you've been having trouble making comments, I'm working on a solution to that and hope to have that fixed in the next day or two.
If you are new to the world of blogging and still trying to find your way around, let me start by saying that I am so honored that you are here! The general idea of this blog is for us to grow in our relationship with Christ and with each other...to build community and fellowship. We're all busy, right? It's hard to get together and get to know one another. This blog is a simple tool to help build community and encourage each other in our daily walks with God.
Second, I want to highlight some things you're going to want to check out. At the top of this site is a series of tabs marking different "pages." Each page is something unique...a welcome letter, what we (Calvary Chapel) believe, information about the upcoming Women's Retreat, a daily scripture and prayer written by our very own Cindy Billings, how to come into a relationship with Jesus, and a page about those who are contributing to the content of this site. I'll try to alert you when we make updates to those pages, but be sure to check those out regularly.
Third, you'll notice a box to the right labelled "Blog Archive." This is a simple system that keeps each post (like this one) categorized. If you think you've missed a few things, you can click on each month for a list of correlating posts. Or, if you like one particular post and can't remember where it is, you can search through the archives.
Fourth, though I know we have had some technical difficulties with folks leaving comments, leaving those comments is really the heart and soul of this blog. It's how we'll get to know each other. So, while it's nice to stop in and read what is being shared, don't stop by anonymously--let us get to know you, too. That's why we're doing this!
Fifth, did you check out the VBS slide show?!? Look how many of our sisters shared the love of Jesus with our kiddos! It really was an awesome week and I was personally blessed to get to know many women on a deeper level.
Lastly, would you keep this ministry covered in prayer? The Lord is working mightily in the hearts of many women, I believe. Drawing us closer, making us one in Him. He wants to do a work with us and we need to lift this opportunity to the Lord. I would love to hear from anyone who might want to share what God is doing in her heart right now. You don't have to be a professional writer to share...just be willing to share God's love!
Again, thanks for your encouragement (and patience!) as we work out the kinks. May the Lord bless each of you with His love, His grace, His mercy, and His peace...
