Last year I sat and listened to Tony Morgan share the do’s and don’ts of blogging. One of the statements he made that caused me to be conflicted was to choose the target audience you want to reach and blog. I sat there and listened, but there are so many facets to me. I am probably not the normal blogger out there.
I am
- wife to the best senior pastor ever, which makes me the first lady
- mother to a teenage boy and 2 other boys, I could fill blog posts with them
- Children’s Ministry Director at ROCK Church
- a nurse
- a woman
I thought about just making my blog for CM’s, but then I would have to create another blog to share my other thoughts. This seemed like too much work. I have considered not talking about CM at all, but yesterday convinced me I am on the right track.
Speaking to someone over the phone who has been helped by your blog and reads it often, is very humbling. She is a CM director and says she has been “stalking” my blog. I also recently spoke with someone else who had read a post that deeply touched them.
So what audience are you? You may be like me and be so diverse you don’t fit one category.

This is an update on a blog I recently posted about a Kid’s ROCK baby that was flown to Chapel Hill. He had a very serious respiratory that can be dangerous for preemies. Having 2 children premature, I understand the issues that can arise.
This mother spent 4 months in the hospital during her pregnancy and encouraged everyone she came in contact with. She truly showed the love of Christ. Women would come to her when they were discouraged and they have continued to keep in touch with her.
Doctors gave her baby no chance of survival when she entered the hospital at 22 weeks, but God had something else planned. He put her in a place to help others. She has reached beyond herself in a difficult time to touch someone else.
When Nana and I went to Chapel Hill, I knew it would be emotional for me. Children and babies touch my heart in a way nothing else does, and when they are sick my heart aches. When we prayed for the baby, we prayed that his recovery would amaze the doctors.
On Saturday, I received this text message from my friend “You won’t believe this but the doctors said his recovery is “amazing” and they feel comfortable discharging him. You guys prayed that he would even amaze the doctors…the prayer of the righteous availeth much.”
