After reading everyone else's comments I don't know what else to add. The love, encouragement, and support left by everyone says it all. We enjoy you for being you. It's the realness in this journey that draws us back and lets us know we aren't the only ones who struggle. <br /><br />My blog(s) have also been neglected. As far as my weight loss blog I wonder how to even accurately try to express in words all that God has done. I don't even know where to start. Even my family/life blog has been lacking. Like so many others said, I started worrying/ thinking about what others would think of the post and what comments they would leave instead of just writing from my heart...which was my original purpose. <br /><br />I know we have not met in real life, but I am so grateful to have met you here. I think you're pretty awesome! It is your realness that makes me want to keep reading and get to know you better!Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04740316690692771508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5294634451803784488.post-25401104470884123752011-12-20T09:56:23.089-06:002011-12-20T09:56:23.089-06:00Keelie,

Your blog has motivated me and so far I am down 21 pds. I was afraid to start my weight loss journey because I was afraid to fail until I started reading your blog. It gave me hope and then when you started talking about God it just made your blog go to a five star blog. I just love everything you say and feel like it comes from the heart. There are a lot of things going on in this world but as Jesus said in The book of John "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33. This is a scripture I hold so close to my heart. We all face our own trails as I am sure you know. I guess what I am trying to say is keep blogging as you never know who may be reading :) You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I lost, then gained...2 years later I lost, kept it off. Then 2 years later, I lost and kept it off. 60, +15, 20, 10 goal! Keep going on the front. <br /><br />As for blogging, I recently wanted to quit what I was doing. Only after asking finally for prayer (major henderance for me), I realized that my quitting would have caused fallout. Several others would have quit as well. And that didn't include those I was personally involved in. They would have no longer have me, after all the time we put in. I realized that although I didn't think I was making much impact, I was part of the whole that God was using and it wasn't my option to quit.<br /><br />Read your tag line before blogging to put your focus where it should be. Yes, there's worse things going on in the world, but we're to conquer our sin as well as help those in need.<br /><br />Have you thought about having a spiritual mentor to scan your post Biblically to vet sound doctrine?AJ @ trulylifeinwords -https://www.blogger.com/profile/13265352629815449651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5294634451803784488.post-80808296898643545842011-12-20T05:54:59.268-06:002011-12-20T05:54:59.268-06:00I can get sucked down this path and just remind my...I can get sucked down this path and just remind myself if it is in my heart---it can not be wrong.<br /><br />xoMizFithttp://tinyurl.com/7hbv42xnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5294634451803784488.post-55272898652229580592011-12-20T05:44:42.300-06:002011-12-20T05:44:42.300-06:00I love your REAL posts.

Because you are REAL. You talk about the underlying issues of weight loss, the mental struggles, the setbacks, etc. and not just the perfect results if you eat healthy and exercise. I think everyone already knows the formula is simple...but it isn't easy. Oh, and when you take the topic of weight loss and remind me of the scripture and how God moves in your life...this is WHY I read EVERY blog update.<br /><br />Please don't stop writing for YOU.Single Mahttp://fitandfabforlife.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5294634451803784488.post-43481479430093991672011-12-20T05:13:10.107-06:002011-12-20T05:13:10.107-06:00I know how you feel.

I do have loyal followers who always comment. I also think of my own behavior - I don't always comment and I stop following others. I have to ask myself if I am blogging for my self-esteem or to work through my challenges as I help others to do the same. We want everyone to like us. It isn't realistic. We have to develop a little bit of a tough skin to do this.downsizershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10936040379217292517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5294634451803784488.post-64152870441071580292011-12-19T23:23:37.627-06:002011-12-19T23:23:37.627-06:00Praying for you ...and trusting God will give you ...Praying for you ...and trusting God will give you every word to write for yourself and those who this blog ministers to regularly.

Please empty your heart out on the page each time & don't worry about how it sounds, if it comes across right or whether it's perfect.

You tell it like it is and even though you mentioned that you are fearful, you are bold in your faith and take a stand for OUR God! You give Him full credit for all your accomplishments even if you wish it could be more...<br /><br />Even though I have known you for years, I feel like I didn't really get to know you until I started following your blog. Treat your blog as part of your ministry and the words will come!=)<br /><br />SarahSarah Millarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10309014340150800521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5294634451803784488.post-31141891328725503362011-12-19T21:31:33.021-06:002011-12-19T21:31:33.021-06:00Keelie--what wonderful post!

Before you decide to continue or quit blogging, consider this: At this stagnant, stall in my life, is there something that God has asked me to do that He is waiting on me to complete? The Children of Israel were stagnant and just camped around Mt Horab waiting....waiting. The Lord told them they were in a rut and to get up, step out, and move on! Look where it got them and the reward they received by honoring God! <br />God is there! Seek His face! He will reveal and remind -- that's a promise!<br />Blessings, my Friend!--Cheri<br />(PS: I am taking a real step of faith here.

For me, it was truly an online journal that if anyone happened to pay attention, so be it, if not that'd be okay too. However, I did develop a following and suddenly I was blogging for the audience instead of me. I took a long step away from it. Now, I'm back for me and the original purpose to journal.<br /><br />You have to ask yourself the true "why" behind your blogging and then it may become more clear why it is so difficult.<br /><br />I share some of the same roadblock that you do...the concern of what others think of me. I'm trying to put that into the background and trust that as long as I'm the best that I can be for myself and that means being true to me, that anyone who bothers to follow my blog will respect what I'm trying to do for myself.<br /><br />Your faith in g-d and faith in yourself only has to appeal to you...others with faith will stay...and others may wade through it for the other messages.<br /><br />Sorry for the long comment, but in the end, you know that the only thing that matters is your relationship with yourself and your god...and what you do with it.Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00235073044536622230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5294634451803784488.post-63439985347921108932011-12-19T20:41:56.046-06:002011-12-19T20:41:56.046-06:00Minus the Jesus part and I identify with much of w...Minus the Jesus part and I identify with much of what you have written. I love comments too! LOL I used to feel like people were not reading unless I had comments but I have realized there are a lot of people that just don't comment for whatever reason... Heck I don't comment on every blog I read but I still read every post.<br /><br />Good luck on whatever you decide!Mrs Swanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15160136199959601329noreply@blogger.com
