There, of course, was the first ever post - back in 2008 (ah, still in my 20s, so young and foolish - pure bliss) The Humbling Of A Super Mom. Then there was a personal favorite that rang so true at the time, also from the early days, With Blog Comes Paranoia. Number 3 on the charts for my most popular posts ever was actually something I posted that was written by my mother-in-law. She was an amazing writer, truly, truly gifted. She passed away around the time I started blogging but I have no doubt she would have been one of my biggest fans - because she loved that we shared a passion for writing and I swear I could have written the word "slug" and she would have told me nobody had ever written it finer. :) I love this story she wrote about a couple of my kids (to whom she was Noni) and obviously you did to because there it sits at number 3 of my most read: Photostory Friday And A Hep' Me Dada Moment With Noni. Another favorite from 2008 is a short and oh so sweet story about my oh so sweet mom, as she enjoys one of the greatest experiences of her life: One Big Push For Mom, One Huge Leap For Nana. Another short one, that has always been a personal favorite: The Real Truth. And because it would not be blogging fun without a post containing the ick factor, comes: Bath Time Fine. There was the "come back" post from when I started blogging again last year and an obsession began: Out Of Control Faith. The post from last year that I still can't read without weeping: The Choice... No Matter What. The one that, I think, might be my own favorite: A Mother's Heart Must Sometimes Take A Second Look. I enjoyed the entire season of writing my way through reading Psalms. I personally LOVE all the marriage posts, and "our story" and our "other story" - because I happen to be married to an amazing man. If it's about Jarrod, It's gonna be good stuff. There is the one, in fact the ONLY ONE that I think all the people I respect most in my church congregation have read... and there could not be a more humiliating light to be seen in: My Christmas Ev-il. The poem that God has used as perhaps the theme for the year so far. He has taught me and retaught me through these few simple words. I have no doubt He will bring me back to them many more times: Let Me Be. Last but not least, the one that proves it is all about the name - because in 2 weeks it is in 4th place for most viewed posts on my blog. That means in 2 weeks more people clicked on and read this post than 99 other posts lagging behind from 5 years ago and a small mess of others from the 4 years in between Apparently people just can't help clicking on a title like: Stupid Ugly People.
