My Blogging Pitfall
My Blogging Pitfall
I promised myself a year… a year of trying to “monetize my blog” (making money at it) …
I really used to LOVE blogging about my life as a homeschooler, our adventures… I blogged much like a diary, it was a therapeutic for me but then March 2014, I decided to try to justify my time spent blogging and attempted to turn it into a “job.” I had heard of others doing it and they would bring in an extra couple hundred dollars a month (or more) just doing what they loved so I thought, “Surely I can do that!”
Lets get this strait right now, I can’t.

Becky’s Thoughts
I find it very interesting that YHVH says He wants a contribution from “every man whose heart moves him” … God didn’t want people who were begrudging givers to build His tabernacle, He wanted those who gave with out of love and the joy of their heart!!
Let each man do according as he hath purposed in his heart: not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. (2 Corinthians 9:7)
If you are feeling reluctant, obligated, strong armed, or anything less than cheerful about your contribution to the Lord, whether it be money, time, goods, or works, I personally think you should not do it. We can not let reasons other than love, move us into service of God, it always is, always was, and must be, a matter of the heart!!
A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. (Proverbs 17:22)
