I’m Back (plus GIVEAWAY!)

Over the last month or so, I’ve felt the prod to dip my toe back into blogging. Okay, maybe partially because I have a new design that makes me smile (’cause sparkles y’all,) but it was more than just that.

I’ve resisted a bit.

“I don’t have time,” I said.

“No one even COMES here anymore,” I said.

“What will I even WRITE about,” I said.

But those are all goofy excuses. If God is prodding you to do something, all the excuses and “good reasons” in the world aren’t valid enough to tell him no.

I don’t plan to blog daily (the thought makes me want to curl up and cry.) In fact, I’m not even gonna say “posting every Monday!” cause I probably won’t. (although I might…) It’ll average once a week, I’d guess.

And no one will EVER come here if I’m not writing anything, so I’m kinda shooting myself in the foot with that second one.

And So. Many. Times. I get an idea that I’m like “Ohhh, that would make a GREAT blog post” but I never write it.

So this is my outlet to write those things.

It will be similar to how I’ve always blogged. A little bit of life-of-a-writer stuff, a little bit of life-of-a-mom stuff, a lot of life-as-a-Jesus-Lover stuff, most laced with tongue-in-cheek humor that I’m a super big fan of.

So hold on to your seat, folks. Krista’s blogging again!!!

TO CELEBRATE, I’m doing a GIVEAWAY!!!

Cause who doesn’t like a good giveaway, right?

So, I’m officially back to blogging. (To be fair, I never really left. I still blog once a monthly over on the inspyromance blog and every-once-in-a-while on The Writer’s Alley) But I’m back to it on my OWN site and now that I’ve officially announced it, I’m kinda excited to see what God does with it!

Let’s Chat! Cause blogging is MUCH more fun when people comment.

1.) I’d love to know who is here reading! Introduce yourself!

2.) Dr Pepper jelly beans — enticing — or not-so-much? Favorite Jelly Bean flavor??
