I think I found it!! A way to keep blogging!!

Thank you so much for all the kind words about keeping up the blog, and for reading my blog all these year.  I really can’t believe that it has been 8 years now.

After much prayer and thought, I have decided that blogging is still in my future.  I even prayed and asked God to help me find a blogging program.  I think I have found one.  This post will be the true test to see if it works well, and makes blogging smooth and easy.

I just want to say thank you to all of you blog readers who have followed along with me and my family.  I am excited to keep JandA&Co. going, and happy to have y’all along for the ride.

I am also thankful for prayer, and divine inspiration that leads us through life.

We studied this scripture passage today in church.

1 Nephi 3:7

“7 And it came to pass that I, Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them.”

Although I haven’t been specifically commanded that I have to blog.  I know that the Lord would like me too.  I know that he will always help us find a way to do the things which he desires us to do. 

I know that prayer works.  I also know that God has a plan for each of us.

I also know that he loves me.  I know that he has numbered the hairs on my head.  I know that he wants me to be happy. 

Blogging makes me happy. 

When I was struggling with this decision, my cousin told me to ask myself what my motivation with blogging is.

I have thought a lot about that question.  I have decided upon 2 things that motivate me.

1. to share goodness

2. to meet new friends; like you

Thanks for being here, and supporting me all this time.

Hugs to all of you.
