The Loft is open, come on up!
Graphic by Kerry Messer
We heard from you guys last week that coming up with “something funny” was too hard! I guess we are just too serious a bunch around here :) Those of you who did funny last week were great! And for the rest of us, this week’s topic should be easier~ grin.
#TheLoft
The Loft is the place for conversation, community, networking, and Christian growth.
Each week we provide a topic to start the conversation.
PLEASE NOTE: We want to foster community and transparent conversation with one another, just like we’d do if we were meeting in real life. So we ask that your link stick to the weekly topic and that you mention The Loft in your post. Thank you so much!
Monday night, at 9pm Eastern, the linky 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.
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. But please stick to 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/or link back in your post 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 5 blogs! We’d love for you to visit The Loft co-hosts and know who we are:

September 2, 2014 at 8:02 amThe Loft…Thank you for this new topic! Fighter verses are SO important to those of us who know that ONLY through Christ can we be victorious!
Weeks after Hubby and I married years ago, we discovered that the business manager and his wife had embezzled and committed malfeasance in the multiple six figures from his business. We owed everyone including the IRS and there was minimal money beyond basic food. Our only option seemed to choose bankruptcy but both of us were reticent in this choice as we prayed diligently. One of my ‘fighter verses’ prior to marriage was Jeremiah 29:11–BUT I had memorized it in the NAS version which says, “For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for welfare and not calamity….” Hubby turned to me with my quote and said, “Do you think you could use another version of that text? I did not go through all this training to be on welfare.”!!!
God brought us through that trial victorious in Him, without bankruptcy and we never went hungry. Yes, we still use that verse at times as we will always have trials in this life to grow and share and rejoice with our Victor but we giggle at the remembrance!!
Blessings and prayers for all who read and share in this!
