The Girl Behind the Blog - Vlog

Today I'm linking up with Erin from Captivated by Grace and Ashley from 5ohWifey for "The Girl Behind the Blog" Vlog link-up part-ay!

Basically, Erin and Ashley thought it would be a great idea for anyone who wanted to participate to answer a few questions about their blog via video (ergo, a Vlog) and then everyone will link up over HERE and see if your favorite bloggers have the accent you've subconsciously given them in your head.  You know you've done it!  

Please note:  Yes, my voice breaks in the first few words.  I could blame it on the fact that I helped lead worship at church this morning and my throat's a little scratchy... but mostly it's because I was so nervous!

Also: after watching the other vlogs that kept the time-constraint, I want to say I'm so sorry I went over (ok doubled) the time allotment!  I've learned that I talk slower than I realized haha.


*Blog posts by Wade, here.

**In the vlog, I didn't prepare my answers, and when asked what the most challenging part was, I answered that it was being transparent because I didn't want people to worry about me - that I am ok.
After some really Godly advice in both conversations and emails, etc, I want to honestly admit that having people worry about me is something that makes me uncomfortable.  And that's why I try to avoid it.  This is not a great quality in me. It is, in fact, a barrier.
This, is the biggest challenge for me.
 And I want to work on it.  God doesn't mold us "comfortably", ya know what I mean?

So, that being said, I want to say thank you to everyone who has ever worried about me -- to everyone who has ever cried for me, smiled for me, or prayed for me.  I'm so lucky to have such amazing people to share my life with.  And I have learned so much from you all these last few days.

So, now that you've seen and heard the real me, go enter my giveaway!

I haven't watched the vlog yet because I'm just reading your comment below it and I have to says I am the same way!!! I don't ever want to share something that will make someone worry for me or take pity on me even. And it's not that I'm not being real, it's just that like you said, I'm ok and I don't want anyone to worry. I totally get what your saying and I'm right there with you! Ok, now I'm going to watch the video :) and thanks for your sweet comment on my blog today!

I watched this last night because I am a total creeper. That moose picture of you and your husband is beautiful. Are you in full time ministry? My sister really wants to be a missionary, too. I should encourage her to blog about it. I know that putting myself out there, letting everyone know every little thing about me, and letting them worry about me(and accepting that) is very challangeing for me as well. It's so nice to meet you :-)

You sound almost exactly like I thought you would! :) and you don't seem awkward or uncomfortable at all. I'm so glad that I came across your blog. I love the heart you have for God and his ministry! :)

Jessica said... Best Blogger Tips

nice to meet you

Kate said... Best Blogger Tips

You and your husband are so cute! Love finding other Christian bloggers!

Annie said... Best Blogger Tips

I so see this blog as a ministry of yours! I'm so thankful you've opened it up beyond friends and family. I love reading it!

I love that you said you have a little bit of diction because you're from FL. haha! Your vowels have a slight twang but it's not terribly noticeable. I'm from MI and I feel like our vowels are pretty bland {the midwestern cities' vowel shift would beg to differ, and yes, there is such a thing} so I think your slight Alabamian sound is adorable.

Thank you for the comment on my vlog! I'm following you now, too, you beautiful woman! Great candid video! I'm glad we could "meet" through this link-up, Kerrie!

Janna Renee said... Best Blogger Tips

You are gorgeous from the inside out <3 I always wanted to go on a Mission trip, but I did get to go on a choir tour where we visited shelters and VA hospitals. It was a beautiful feeling. It is so nice to get to know you! xoxo
