I have found that sharing others' posts and retweeting always brings me joy. My goal is to promote 3 other people each day. I want the ratio to be 3 others to 1 me promo.Andy Lee: Speaker, Author, Lover of Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00478393464705123851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-1858680809025506802014-01-27T16:55:44.221-05:002014-01-27T16:55:44.221-05:00Thanks Mary!

I went to a writer's conference this weekend that helped to realign my perspective- my first love is writing! Thanks for reinforcing that realiziation!Julia Tomiakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17999070457191845503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-34498179386997814382014-01-27T12:10:48.738-05:002014-01-27T12:10:48.738-05:00Rene, thank you for YOUR encouragement!

I think it's vital that we follow our hearts and write what's important to us. When we chase what others think - even if it's unselfishly - we can get into trouble.

God patiently reminds me that it is my job to stay close to Him and post what He desires my page and leave the rest up to Him. Just because I don't see oodles of responses, does not mean He is not ministering to my peeps through me...thank you for reminding me of this, too. God bless your week and your ministry. You are a blessing indeed! :)Rene Diane Aubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199359016249864883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-33955402838575508052014-01-27T11:37:10.360-05:002014-01-27T11:37:10.360-05:00This is REALLY great, Edie.
One of the things tha...This is REALLY great, Edie.<br /><br />One of the things that helps me is remembering the times when I wrote random blog posts that were for me. I might've started out writing them thinking they were for someone else and would be entertaining or inspiring or draw readers or whatever--but no, God had something he was doing in MY heart as I wrote. Which I realize is pretty me-centered which kind of goes against the whole point of your post. LOL! But really, those moments encourage me because they remind me that the writing journey and ALL that comes along with it, even blogging and social media and marketing, all of it is about God drawing me closer to him, changing me and then hopefully using whatever words I write to do the same for others. And if that's the end goal, I don't have to worry about the numbers...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17620457068731162013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-55697147142113362712014-01-27T07:48:10.640-05:002014-01-27T07:48:10.640-05:00Hi Edie -

Readers let us know when we're veering off course - by staying away. <br /><br />My goal is to always provide a take away for the reader - something I learned as a devotional writer. <br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.
