I've been blogging for many years. It's actually one of the few hobbies I keep up with regularly. However, before Revelife I never blogged much about my relationship with Jesus Christ. I mentioned Him here and there but never devoted entire posts about Him or my faith. I wondered why that was. Why do I keep something so important, actually the most important thing in my life, to myself? I didn't hide my faith but I didn't exactly advertise it either.
Then I started to blog here on revelife and I realized that blogging about faith isn't as easy as posting a picture update of my weekend or complaining about the latest crazy thing that happened to me. I think the best example I can give of this is that I'm married. I definitely have a husband and I am deeply in love with him. However, I never blog about my husband in detail because my relationship with him is extremely personal.
My faith is like that too. I'm definitely a Christian and I love God so much but for me my faith is something so incredibly personal. It's hard to put into words all that He has done and continues to do in my life. I definitely want to share my faith with others but time and time again I fail to express in words how much my relationship with Jesus really means to me.
I really admire folks, including the other writers on the site, that can easily blog about their faith. In a day and age when we spend more time online than at church or with others, it's so encouraging to read about the ins and outs of their struggles and victories.
Do you blog regularly about your faith? Do you ever have trouble expressing your faith to others?

I definitely can identify with you on this front. I don't think I can express myself well or clearly so sometimes I don't say anything at all.
I constantly blog about my faith, the good and the bad. I always talk about my struggles. It helps me sort out my thoughts. :)
i am the same way!! when i signed up with Xanga, it was just EVERYTHING in general. then i signed up with Revelife, wow, my writing has been more spiritually than i normally am with Xanga.
then i got carried away and caught myself back to revelife.. i believe that to share your faith does show in many forms. it isn't just in writing, it is also known to be in sharing your time with others, listening and supporting, it can be tithing at church, it can be all kinds!!
it isn't just in words that you should show your faith. if it is personal, then it is.. but i know as well that in personal ways, you can express your faith as well.
God bless ya, Mrs. Dandelion!!
