A New Beginning

Why I’m Starting Here (Again)

I’ve been wondering how to start—how to step into this next season—and I think I’ve finally found it.

Over a year and a half ago, I began on Instagram, diving deep into the dangers of porn and addiction. That’s where I thought God wanted me to start, and so I did. For a few months, I shared openly and honestly. Then I shifted my focus toward how to protect children from pornography. As a mom of young kids, I felt God pulling me in that direction, and I followed.

But after a while, my husband gently asked me to take a break. Creating videos, editing, and managing social media was eating up too much of my time—and he was right. So I stepped back.

Truthfully, social media never really felt like me. It often felt fake, like everyone was performing. I hated editing videos—listening to myself over and over again drove me nuts. In the last year, I’ve barely posted on my personal account. Maybe it’s part of getting older, maybe it’s just waking up to what truly matters, but I no longer feel the need to keep up with the scroll.

Still, I’ve felt this pull. A quiet nudge in my spirit that I’m supposed to do something. But I didn’t know what. So I waited. I’ve been waiting for almost a year now.

Then I finished reading Cold-Case Christianity (highly recommend, by the way), and the author mentioned that he started with a blog. That stuck with me. Maybe because blogging was once my safe space—a place where I could say what I meant and mean what I said.

So here I am, circling back to something that feels like home: writing.

Why Blogging? Why Now?

I’m not new to blogging. As a teen, I kept a blog where I shared poetry and short stories. It wasn’t fancy or popular, but it was mine. My friends and family read it, and that was enough. It was never about numbers—it was about expression.

People say blogging is dead, that it’s outdated. I don’t believe that.

Social media is fast and loud, and while it has its place, I think we’re all growing a little tired of the speed. Lately, I’ve noticed videos getting longer, captions growing deeper—people are craving more than a soundbite. They want meaning. Connection. Something slower, something real.

Blogging is going to make a comeback. Maybe not on WordPress or Blogger, and that’s fine. Personally, I prefer the WIX setup anyway.

Where I’m Headed

This is where I’m going to restart. Right here, in the comfort of written words. I want to write about what’s real—motherhood, womanhood, wifely duties, spiritual growth, and all the messy beauty in between.

If you’re here, reading this, I’m so glad. I don’t have all the answers. I’m not showing up as an expert. I’m just showing up as me—learning, wrestling, hoping, and living the best I can.

And maybe, in this slow, sacred space of words, you’ll find comfort too.
