The Loft is open, come on up!

#TheLoft
The Loft is the place for conversation, community, networking, and Christian growth. Each week we provide a topic to start the conversation.
Then, Monday night, at 9pm Eastern, the link goes live and all week you can link up your post on that week’s topic.
We’ll have fun topics, serious topics, practical, soul-ful, holiday, and so, so much more…we can’t wait to get started! This is not only a great way to connect with others, it’s also a fun and easy way to establish a writing habit. If you aren’t a blogger, you are welcome to join in by leaving your comments in the comment section.
Listening is a lost art. Especially in the blogosphere where everyone wants to be heard. At The Loft, we know that listening is rewarding and rich… surprisingly so. So we want to provide an opportunity for Christian bloggers to speak and listen, grow and be encouraged. We invite you up to the Loft, an out of the way upper room where we’ll talk, laugh, learn, and leave a little bit changed.
So grab your coffee mug and come on up! Hang out for a bit. We betcha you’ll be glad you did.
To Participate:
1. Be creative. Feel free to use words, photos, video, audio, your family pet, whatever, to communicate on the weekly topic.
2. Listen twice as much as you talk. If you leave one link, visit two. Trust us on this one~wink.
3. Be a community. Include #TheLoft graphic and hashtag in your post and social media so we can find each other. Also, share the great stuff you find when you visit around…we’ll be doing the same.
When you link up at The Loft, your link will appear on 6 blogs! We’d love for you to visit The Loft co-hosts and know who we are:
Now it’s time to link up! Today is our FIRST EVER link-up! We want to get to know each other and begin making relationships, thus this week’s topic:
This Week’s Topic: “I am…” (finish the sentence, introduce yourself, share your passions, experiences, maybe tell us a few odd facts, or just link to your “About” page. We’re all ears!)
Next Week’s Topic: “Blogs that Inspire” (tell us what blogs or websites you go to for inspiration and what makes them attractive. Hey, wouldn’t it be cool if you find someone today that inspires you? Or someone finds you?)

January 26, 2017 at 9:56 pmHi my name is Danielle and I am on a great mission to spread Gods love. A lot of very bad things happened to me as a child but God has always been a but burning light in my life. Recently I began sharing my story on you tube to bring other closer to God. He has called me time and time again to share with the world but it honestly makes me so uncomfortable, through Him I am strengthened. Thank you all for being rooted in Christ and sharing Gods love with the world. Also thanks for taking the time to read this message. May the Lord strengthen you all through His love and help you all to be the light those living in darkness need to see. Have a great night. Also I am super new to this and I’m not sure if this is where I should post but God led me to you all, blessings!
