I HAVE AN EXCITING ANOUNCEMENT!!! I'M MOVING TO TUMBLR!!!!!
Ok, so I'm sure you're all wondering where I've been for the past several months........school (ughhhh homework! Plus it's soon far away! And then I had finals! And then I went to prom, which was so fun but finding a dress took forever!!!!!), cheer, track (yes, I joined the track team!), drivers ed (it has been alllllll summer so far!!!....thank goodness I finished on friday! But now I have to do 36 hrs of practice time...ugggggg! hahaha at least I got my permit! yay!), our crazy busy summer schedule, just life in general, and MANY other things (I won't list them all lol that would be painful!) have kept my VERY busy!! I haven't even posted since January!!! And it's the end of June!!!!!!!!!!! I feel so bad!!!!
HOWEVER, since the beginning of summer, I decided to make a photography blog for all of the random pictures I take......I made a tumblr blog, just for the sake of trying it after hearing that it was the easiest blog app to use (ugggggg the blogger app is terrible! and don't even get me started on wordpress!!!!!! so confusing and a little too complicated.). After trying it out, I realized that I REALLY liked it, so I made a "test" blog to see if I wanted to replace my current one (here on blogspot). I posted to the test blog ALL THE TIME!!!! It was crazy! Plus unlike wordpress, I could post as many pics as I wanted (for FREE! no limit!) and I could personalize my theme (background, font, colors, etc.) waaaaayyyy more than I could on wordpress, for FREEEEEEE (I'll never understand why wordpress makes you buy all the stuff!)!!! As for blogger, the app is TERRIBLE!!!!!!! (if you're wondering why I care so much about the app(s), it's because there's a better chance of me blogging if I have an app because I can blog ANYWHERE, and I don't have to have wifi or drag a big, heavy computer around.) Now, back to blogger.....Blogger is just....hard. I can't do it from my phone, when I write, I feel like I have to post a LOT because of such a big white space and the overall format of creating a post (and that makes me nervous and makes me not want to do it, so I don't post as much), I'm bad at typing on a computer so everything takes twice as long as it would if I was typing on a phone, and the overall format of blogger (and even wordpress) is just not as simple as tumblr.
Sooooooo long, painful story short, I'm moving to tumblr!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Check it out!!!! (look below for more info!)
You can find my new tumblr blog here, or you can go to madisonncourtneyy.tumblr.com!!!! Do whatever suits your fancy:)
I've put so much work into this blog, and here I am, moving it!!! It makes me sad, but I know that the benefit will be greater than the sacrifice (the benefit being that I can post more stuff more often, and the sacrifice being mostly giving up this blog and losing all of my posts, etc.....of course I can look back at them, but not having them on my new blog makes me so sad!)
I've put lots of work and effort into making my new blog. I have yet to post to it, because I was sad thinking that I was "making it official," so I decided to announce my big move before posting. I put a lot of thought and prayer into it. I prayed a lot to ask God if He wanted me keep blogging; I feel like it's my ministry and calling right now. With my busy life, I hardly have time to sit down and write a blog post, much less do it while I'm inspired to write something (if you don't feel like it or have no inspiration to write, you'll end up staring at a blank post for an hour, trust me!!!). I still felt called to blog but I just don't have the time to sit down at my computer and do it. With each passing day, I found myself getting more and more behind, getting myself deeper and deeper into this never ending hole. I was at the point where I needed to choose: either I had to quit all together, or change something. I was reminded of when I tried to move to wordpress to fix this problem at the beginning, and how badly my temporary fix failed. I didn't know if this would end the same way....an epic (and embarrassing) failure. In order to try to avoid this, I gave my self at least one month (apparently it takes about a month to make a habit) to make my "test" blog, to see if I would actually keep up with blogging on tumblr......and to my relief, I was blogging all the time! It made me so happy because I knew that God still wanted this for me.
Thank you for even still reading my blog! I'm so bad at keeping up with it throughout my crazy and extremely busy life. I know I already tried to "half" move it to wordpress, and now here I go again, moving it to a whole new site!!!! But I know that this will make things better......moving is definitely better than not blogging at all!!!!! And to top it all off, I think God put tumblr on my heart to help give me a second chance at doing what He wants me to do (which is living out my special ministry to keep blogging). Thank you all for your patience and support. And thank you for reading this long and probably painful to read post:) lol lol lol!!!!! I love you all so much!
Please check out my new blog! I need a second chance as a blogger;) and this time I'm pretty sure things will go well!
xoxo,
Madi
