I wish I knew if that was correct or not. I've been a little confused lately..... do I spend lots of time and energy trying to get more followers to be successful, or do I just communicate with the 10 or so who actually leave comments and care.
I guess it depends on how one defines success. I defined it in the beginning more or less that my blogging would not be a waste of my time. For a few months, I felt talking to myself and having a record of my thoughts was worthwhile, but after half a year, not so much.... Now that I have those ten or so friends, I do not feel like I am talking to myself on my blog and thus wasting my time. I don't need a great big following to feel "successful" at this... (which is good, because I am not one of those blogs with hundreds of followers. It's good to like where I'm at :-)
If I can change one persons heart, or let someone know that they are not alone with their struggles....or if I can bring a smile and hope to someone with the random thoughts I share with my blog.....

And... as vs. 1 says... we cast our bread onto the waters...
What am I? How does one answer that question?
I write, but am I a writer? I study, but am I a student?
I teach, but am I a teacher?
I am a lay minister, public speaking trainer, cell group leader, and much more.
And in my spare time I am a lawyer to fund all my other activities.
But above all, I want to be Faithful In Serving HIM. So all I reveal about myself is that I want to be a FISH.
Cute cartoon.

God will prosper our efforts for His Glory.
We may never know on this side... and that's OK.
God Bless, and thanks for stopping in!
