The Liebster Award is an award given from one small blogger to another. This is to bring awareness to small blogs (blogs under 200 likes) and help bloggers get to know one another.
- How did your blog get its name?
In 2012, Brooke and I decided to start a women’s ministry and hold retreats. We feel such a passion for all women who don’t feel they’re ‘good enough’ in various areas of their lives. We want to spread the word that they ARE good enough and that Christ loves them just as they are. We named the ministry Loving Christ as we want our focus to be on loving Him and on His unconditional, all-encompassing love for us.
- Why did you start a blog?
I (Julie) started the website to promote information about our Loving Christ retreats. However, I have always loved to write, and I have a huge passion for all God has done for me and want to share those things with others so they know He will do great things in their lives too.
- What was the biggest doubt you had when you began blogging?
It’s hard to imagine anyone actually wanting to read what I write.
- What is the hardest part about blogging?
There’s so much more to it than just writing and posting. I have learned so much and have so much more to learn. It’s hard to keep everything organized, too.
- What is your favorite post from your blog? (Link it!)
My favorite post from my blog is 5 Favorite Verses to Teach My Preteen Daughter
- Where do you see your blog in the near future?
I would love to see this blog and our retreats reach thousands of women and encourage them in their daily lives. It would be great to make an income from the blog so that I could focus more on the ministry as a whole (with the blog being a huge part of the ministry).
- Where is your favorite place to write your blog posts?
I like to write at the kitchen table.
- What is your favorite topic to blog about?
Motivation and worthiness through Christ, grief support, and daily purposeful living are my favorite things to write about.l
- Do you work on top of blogging?
I am a middle school computer teacher. I’ve been teaching for 24 years!
10. How many hours a week do you blog?
Not nearly enough. It varies from week to week as few as 10 or as many as 40. I really could blog all day long every day if I didn’t have another job. There’s always more to do, but I love it!
11. What was the inspiration for your blog?
Christ’s unconditional love
