Ask Rach #4: Why I Got Into Blogging

#4 Why I got into Blogging 

Alright alright alright. I get this question so often so here’s my answer: God put it on my heart. 

In 2015, the Lord put the idea of starting a blog on my heart. I had tried a few blogs trying to find my “niche” but I just couldn’t figure it out. Wanna know a humbling secret I have? LOL I can’t believe I am writing it and exposing myself because I still shake my head at it today….

So I was 18. Single. Never have had a boyfriend. And I started a blog talking about how to be a good Proverbs 31 wife….. YIKES. LOL!

Seriously? Like why? I had no right to be talking about this. I wasn’t married. I barely knew rhe bible. I didn’t even know the context of Proverbs 31. Ah man, anyways. I share that with you because if you want to start an online ministry or blog, don’t have your niche be something you don’t have authority in. For instance, a big part of my blog and ministry is about sexual sin. Though I may fall in the future, I know what freedom looks like with the Lord. I am not perfect, but I am pursuing the Lord within this temptation in my life. I have authority within it because I am fighting it with the Lord.

So fast forward, I would randomly write here and there. I was super up and down with my relationship with the Lord so I really didn’t have any consistency. I would write occasionally but nothing stuck with me. If I am being honest, I wasn’t doing it for the right reasons. I also wasn’t making it a priority. I soon got to the point where it was a way of me processing what God was teaching me in that season. 

I got to this point in my life where I knew God was calling me to be more consistent and start investing in Coffeewithrach. I would start to write more and listen to what He had placed on my heart. Now I am being more consistent than ever. But truthfully, it has come with time and consistency. It’s come with me being intentional about my time and my heart intentions. Am I doing this for me or for God? 

My reason for blogging and writing now?

I want my life to be a clear testimony of God’s grace and love and power. I want others to be equipped in how to fight against the deceiver. I want people to know that because Jesus Christ died and rose again, there is no shame or condemnation. Romans 8:1. 

I see a generation of young women being raised up without knowing their identity in Christ. I need to do my part in the great commission to make sure those girls know their worth in Christ. I need to teach, equip, and challenge people closer to Jesus and less of this world. 

I see a lot of “christian influencers” and “christian bloggers” out there just talking about the same surface level stuff. I don’t wanna be another account or website. I want to help each and every one of you learn more about how to fight against the deceiver. I want to inform and teach you guys about how to walk into the freedom Christ gives us through His name. This is why I am passionate. This is my niche. People being free from sin. People not knowing their identity.
