The Purpose of This Blog

Every well-written blog needs a purpose. Those without a solid foundation tend to fail.

 Trust me, I know from experience.

People are the same way. They need a purpose, or they will falter and become wanderers, without direction or hope.

This is a blog written by a young homeschooler who found herself in a dilemma after she graduated highschool. She knew that she didn’t want to go to college, unlike most of her peers. She had a very vague outline for the near future, but she wasn’t exactly sure what God wanted her to do in this new stage of life. She was starting to feel a little lost.

Well, she’s still not sure what the future holds for her. But she has found that her purpose doesn’t have to be a tangible, touchable thing. Her purpose is to carry on where God leads her and keep her eyes on the distant horizon, following His guidance.

This is a chronicle of a homeschool graduate. It will reflect the thoughts, passions, and moral foundations of a conservative Christian. It will contain the honest opinion of an individual who is really an alien in this culture. Through this blog, readers may catch a glimpse of the goals, aspirations, and motivations of one teenager that decided to take a different approach to life.

May you be inspired to take the path of unconventionality.                                      Image Credit

  1. Hi Kayla! Thanks so much for stopping by and following my blog. I was touched and thrilled to find my blog on your recommended resources page as well! Your recommendation is very kind. :)

    I see some like-minded books on here! Patrick Carr's Cast of Stones, among others. ;) I've met Bryan Davis, actually, and heard a session he taught on why Christian fantasy is good--just awesome. His books are ones I should like to read some time. And Stengl's books look epic, too.

    And is this Gaelic on your blog? :D How wonderful! Wishing you all success with your blogging endeavors!

    God bless!

  2. I've been enjoying your blog for over a year now...I first heard of you when you spoke at the 2013 Inch Convention. I was graduating that year, and the sessions that you gave really helped me in my decision to opt out on college. :)

    I actually picked up [I]A Cast of Stones[/I] after I read your review. I really enjoyed it! Hopefully I'll get my hands on the rest of the trilogy soon. Bryan Davis is one of my favorite authors---he has some crazy plot-lines, but I really appreciate his work. I got to be a pre-publication reader for one of his newest books last fall. Anne Stengl's books are heartily recommended...her allegory is absolutely terrific. I'm hoping to review her books when I get chance.

    It is Gaelic. :) I really love the Irish language and culture...just a little piece of my heritage. My understanding of Gaelic is rather limited, though, so I relied on google translate for most of that sentence.

    Thanks for stopping by!

    Dia duit,
    Kayla
