I like it's look, and I enjoy your writing style and voice.<br />As for this post, I think I would have rather read your letter than the other guy's letter! ;-)<br />Most pastors I know don't like theological stuffy and long newsletters. In fact, most like short anecdotes. Years ago, a friend also told me to 'be a bit more real' in our updates. She knew that what I was saying was the truth, but I had only been focusing on the positive. When I started sharing hurts, struggles, frustrations...the responses to those increased, as did the prayer covering.<br /><br />Looking forward to reading more great posts on here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3241703702485132991.post-43486594747563741332010-02-25T20:27:43.490-07:002010-02-25T20:27:43.490-07:00Yes, ma'am, I agree that blogs and prayer lett...Yes, ma'am, I agree that blogs and prayer letters are two unique things. I have read many blogs where the ministry was incorporated along with their personal stories and I think it is neat. I guess at this point it just isn't for me. I have loved meeting new friends through blogs! <br /><br />I am still very new to all of this and trying hard to learn. Thank you for taking the time to share your life!The Wallace Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00301191726645050424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3241703702485132991.post-49648463355299118162010-02-25T19:09:00.666-07:002010-02-25T19:09:00.666-07:00I posted a response to this, and then got side-tra...I posted a response to this, and then got side-tracked and lost it. I just wanted to say that blogs and prayer letters are two unique things. Some people incorporate both family/ personal and ministry news on their blogs. It's interesting to see different women's styles and personality come out in their blogs.<br /><br />For fun, go to the blog roll on Coffee Girl and check out some of the missionary blogs, or hover over the "followers" of this Jamie Jo blog, and click on the photos. You can then see if they have their own blog.<br /><br />I've been snooping around, trying to get to know our readers :), and have met some lovely ladies all over the globe. It's given me some ideas of how to combine my personal blog and ministry news. Thanks for the inspiration. I'm not comparing myself in a negative way - just taking notes!Jamie Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04168408977811339924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3241703702485132991.post-58722199352532672972010-02-24T17:40:44.899-07:002010-02-24T17:40:44.899-07:00Thanks Jamie Jo for stopping by my blog. :~)
R...Thanks Jamie Jo for stopping by my blog. :~) <br /><br />Rachel, We have only been "on the field" missionaries for 4 1/2 months. I wanted to share ministry work on my blog, too, but have found that to be very difficult. I don't really feel comfortable sharing about the things that are being done for ministry work at this point. We came here to begin a work and are in the process of building relationships with people. I don't feel that that is something that should be blogged. We want them to trust us and even though I could take their pictures without problem, I don't because I wouldn't want them to somehow find out that I had written about them on the internet. How do you ladies feel about that?The Wallace Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00301191726645050424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3241703702485132991.post-72674670637521890432010-02-24T12:32:42.521-07:002010-02-24T12:32:42.521-07:00This is a great post Jamie.

I need to change this...or maybe do a blog for ministry and then one for the family in the states who want to see the pictures...Randall and Rachel Beitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17152516016119531546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3241703702485132991.post-46618624023153879662010-02-24T05:44:28.374-07:002010-02-24T05:44:28.374-07:00Good morning, Holly (or evening as the case may be...Good morning, Holly (or evening as the case may be in your location). It's nice to meet you, too. Hope you don't mind, but I looked up your blog and enjoyed some nice reading over there, too. Thanks for the link to the Tozer devotional. I may switch over to that this year from Oswald Chambers.Jamie Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04168408977811339924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3241703702485132991.post-40352679355921643002010-02-24T01:13:32.487-07:002010-02-24T01:13:32.487-07:00Hello!

I have never really cared for fiction of any sort much less in the life of a missionary.<br /><br />I look forward to getting to know you!The Wallace Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00301191726645050424noreply@blogger.com
