I have been honest with those who read my blog that I am not doing well financially. There have been times I asked for donations and I have asked for people to buy ad space. Nobody stepped up to do that.
I struggled for a short time with a bit of anger but got over that pretty quick. I knew that this blog was part of God’s plan for my life and I determined to fulfill His will. I wanted to be submissive to His calling on my life to be a Christian writer. I was dead set against going back into nursing because I considered that rebellion and trying to please others instead of Him.
So I started posting affiliate advertising on my blog. Although some people make a ton of money with that I haven’t made squat so far.
I was running fast and smashing up against a brick wall every time I tried to make money with this blog.So I went back into nursing. I didn’t know if I was going to continue to blog or not.
Funny thing, now that I am back in nursing my stats have almost doubled daily and I am still able to blog on a consistent basis.
Is it easy working a full time job and being involved inn three other ventures on the side? No, it isn’t, but it sure as heck is fun and I am so glad I found a wonderful company to work for.
I have realized how isolated I became in my writing and how much I have missed interacting with others. If God would have prompted others to financially bless me with donations I may have become dependent on them. I prefer to be independent of others and only dependent on God.
I still didn’t know how I was going to make my mortgage payment for the next couple of months. God prompted a family member to be generous with me though and I think I will be okay. It should be enough to keep me floating while I am building up my case load with this company.
If you want to help I am no longer asking for donations but if you buy from the ads I have on the sidebar or on my ad pages it would be a great blessing. No guilt if you don’t though, seriously it is totally okay. I figure if this blog is in God’s hands then it is His responsibility to show me the way to financially support myself while doing this. For the time being I get the privilege of working for one stellar home health company whilst I am blogging. God is good.
