WOW! It feels like it’s been forever! I’ve missed this so much, and I can’t wait to get back into the swing of things.
About Me & My Blog:
I’ve updated several things while I’ve been on break, so let me fill you in:
I completely changed the About page, so if you want a fresh look or a reminder about the purpose of this blog, take the time to check it out!
Schedule:
So, I had already started implementing a few changes to this before I left, but here is how the schedule should work from here on out. Every week you can expect to receive one post in your inbox (which may be on different days depending on my schedule), and each month you will also receive a newsletter (like this one)! The weekly post will differ from week to week. Normally it should be a devotional, but you’ll also find recommendations and maybe some other random posts sprinkled in.
Help Support Me:
There is a lot that goes into putting out posts each week. I love doing it, but it is hard to keep it going. While some people might decide that turning on paid subscriptions is the best route, I don’t want to do that. I want my writing to be accessible to everyone whether or not they can afford a paid subscription. But, it would be nice to receive some support (whether paid or free) for doing this. Want to support me, but don’t know how? Don’t worry, I’ve put together a page especially for this purpose!

Chat:
Do you remember when we did the thankfulness challenge in November through the group chat? Well, the chat’s been sitting there dormant for a while, only being used for blog updates. I want to revive it. Thus, the chat is now open for anybody to post in it. Let’s turn this into a community for encouraging each other with favorite Bible verses, sharing prayer requests, and overall just helping uplift our brothers and sisters in Christ!
Getting A Fresh Look:
For those of y’all who have only ever used the Substack app, I’d like to ask that y’all would take the time to use the website every once in a while! There are so many pages on my website that you can not find on the app; plus, the website is just prettier!
And for those of you who only ever use the website, might I encourage you to take a shot at using the app? While it may seem like I prefer people using the website given my last paragraph, I must say that some things are just easier on the app. The chat is easier to use through the app (and if you’re on a phone, the app is the only way to access the chat feature). Also, certain features are just easier to use if you’re on the app.
That’s all the updates. Did I mention I’m so glad to be back? I can’t wait to continue my blogging journey here, and I hope that this space will help you grow in your faith.
Have a great month, y’all, and keep a lookout for a new post each week!
Your sister in Christ,
Melody🌹Polar
