Purpose of Exemplify


It is the exclusive intention of Exemplify to:

 

1. Encourage the study and daily application of God’s Word.

Anyone who knows me well knows I cannot stress enough how vital I believe God’s Word is. I’m not concerned with stuffing my head with knowledge, I’m into getting to know Christ more. And He continually meets me within the pages of His Word. Most of my posts here at Exemplify are scripture focused and it is my hope they encourage others to get to know Him through His Word.

2. Start an open dialogue on how daily life can and does invite us to get to know Christ more intimately.

It is my belief Christ is not sitting at church waiting around all week for us to come and talk to Him! The number one response I get to my blog is that “it is about everyday stuff and about Christ – wow!” That statement always brings me joy because well, that is the point. I actively look for Christ in the day-to-day and it is so awesome when I get to read what others are finding Him doing in their own lives. Next to the study of Scripture, this is the main purpose for me.

3. Express my thoughts on faith and life in an open creative format.

I like to do stuff. I’m a busy woman who welcomes being busy! I’m going to write these thoughts whether or not I have a place to share them so if I can post them in an open creative format and point to Christ with even one word then I consider it a privilege to write here.

4. Have some fun.

I’m big on fun. A main purpose here at Exemplify is to loosen up a little bit, share some of my “Lucy” moments and invite others in. I don’t know if I succeed at that always, but I do try. If you've been around here for a little while you know my favorite posts include: cooking disasters, coffee, coffee, coffee and of course, lattes. 


In all honesty, blogging is one of the most fun, rewarding things I have the honor of being a part of. And I truly am amazed at how deeply effective this writing format has become in the Christian woman community. I love being a part of it…

Thanks so much for visiting my blog last week! I am just now getting around to visiting others as we have visitors all week and weekend...

Your mission is wonderful, and one that my heart echoes! I too long to know Jesus more and more, and find that the Word just opens that door. I love Jesus and the Word of God, so I will be back to see what He is doing in your life!

Blessings!
