This week I'll be answering five Faithful Bloggers Prompts. This is in reply to Prompt # 74.
At first, I started blogging because a friend of mine suggest it. I thought it was a good idea at the time. It was a good way for me to keep writing and to make my presence known.

My initial intention (and still is) is to give a biblical view of situations that children and their caregivers go through. Incidences of abuse, rape, domestic violence and bullying were increasing in my country and around the world. I have a deep concern about these things As a Christian with training in Guidance and Counseling and Biblical Studies, I felt that I was able to do so.
I can't say that God told me to blog. I'll be lying if I did. But my intention is to let my readers know that God can come into the midst of these ugly, dangerous, heartbreaking and seemingly hopeless crises and put the wounded child or adult back together again.
I should know. God took me out of a life where I was slowly going under because of alcohol, smoking and sexual relationships with men because I was looking for love, for someone to build my self-esteem. Even now, twenty four years later, God is still working on me.
I didn't start off blogging with the right intentions, but I know that God can still use me and this blog to bring glory to His Name.
