my little blog is just a drop in the ocean, and i can only wonder why anyone (outside of the people i know) would read it. even still, whatever the reasons, here’s the top 5 posts of 2012:
TOP 5:
the lesson i learned from the sky. a personal favorite.
4. what i’ve lost along the way
my inner conflict with reality and so-called dreams.
(or, “why i walked out of the hunger games”) this post was difficult for me to write; in which i share about the violence/physical abuse of my childhood.
2. how i was disillusioned by “christian” books
how being a purpose-driven, jabez-praying, will-seeking christian did me more harm than good.
bebo kindly retweeted this post, which is probably why it took the top spot. even still, well-written lyrics move me in a way that few other things can. what’s your song right now?
UNDERDOG:
this post received the least amount of views. have you ever had a passion, something you KNEW was a calling…but closed doors and the passing of time made you indifferent and even numb to it?
MY FAV:
in which i try and list everything i’ve learned from kids. the operative word being “try.”
2012 HIGHLIGHTS:
- i started the blog
on march 17 i introduced myself, and explained the idea behind love twisted and love defined. admittedly, i also have a bit of a word addiction.
- i talked about the abuse
to be able to understand me, you have to know where i come from. i’m all dysfunction. : )
- i churchhopped
“there are differences – no doubt about that, but the core is Christ and His word and people in a relationship with Him that is always growing and reflecting Who He is. His body isn’t defined or restricted by a denomination or a building. it’s His people, living day to day in obedience to Him. pursuing Him, loving Him, and loving people with the love He has poured into us.” -from what churchhopping has taught me
i am always willing to keep my heart open. we are the body of Christ, after all.
- i got annoyed
more so with christians than anyone. the cliches. the bandwagons. the prudishness.
SO…WHAT’S NEXT?
i really don’t want to commit to anything. no resolutions. i write about whatever i want to write about for someone to either read or not read. but i do want to thank anyone and everyone who reads this blog o’ mine (mostly my friends and relatives). keep it up so i can pretend like i have a huge following.

love twisted. Love Defined 
I’ve been waiting to do my 2012 recap. Not sure where 2013 will take me. Still thinking about it. Thanks for a quick link-up to all your top 2012 articles.
Write on!
Daphne
my pleasure. ; )
No resolutions…I like that. Although I got a late start, I caught up quickly…like reading a book I couldn’t put down. Always engaging, often heartbreaking, never expected.

thanks!
Sara, i so agree with you about this…”i write about whatever i want to write about for someone to either read or not read. but i do want to thank anyone and everyone who reads this blog o’ mine (mostly my friends and relatives)”…for me writing on my blog has been a wonderful way for my “bucket to fill up and slosh over”…allowing my feelings (which are all neutral) to come to the surface and not be stuffed…a much more healthy way to live 🙂
i like that picture…that pretty much sums it up for me, as well. i rarely have a plan of what i want to write. i can never force it. it just happens.
Sara, that’s the gift of a true writer. Not forced but pouring out, almost uncontrollably. You have it! It’s a beautiful thing and God given.
