*The next few blog posts from me are going to be deep, personal, and spiritual.*
I am toying with the idea of disallowing comments on the following posts. What do you think? If I choose to do that, I will include my email address for comments to be sent there. I have never not allowed comments before. . .
I have always wanted to keep my blog open and personal, and it has been killing me to keep the rest of my "hospital story" from my readers. I have shared this story with some of our family, along with our friends and faith family. So many people who know me "in real life" read my blog now! I am sharing my "hospital story" this Sunday in ReCharge (our Sunday School class) and I hope that it spreads from there.
There are four more posts (and counting) in response to this prologue.
Why are you considering disallowing comments on the following posts? I think whatever you are comfortable with is what you should do. I look very forward to reading what happened.
ReplyDeleteI will not allow any negative comments on this. I've been extremely guarded about who I've told so far. I'll text you! =)
DeleteI absolutely understand that. I would hate to think regardless what you share that you would get negative comments. Obviously it is something that means so much to you.
DeleteIs there anyway to make it so you have to approve the comments before they appear to the public? Wordpress allows this and I always screen my comments (and have only withheld 2 comments in the 18 months I've been blogging) before publishing them... Just a thought...
ReplyDeleteI'll pray that God would show you how to handle this and I'm looking forward to reading what God has revealed to you. I've experienced several revelations from God on our journey too...
I agree with Tanya...require approval for the comments for your next few blog posts. Unless you don't want to read any comments from anyone at all. I can't imagine why anyone would leave negative comments (unless it's something controversial??). But we in the blogoshpere are here to support you!
ReplyDeleteI think you should do whatever makes you most comfortable in telling your story!
ReplyDeleteI agree with doing whatever you are most comfortable with regarding comments. If you don’t want comments good or bad – you just want to put it out there – then I would disable them. But I have found that as a community we are a very supportive bunch with encouraging things to say. I have thankfully never had a negative comment on my blog and hope that is not something you have had to deal with either.
ReplyDeleteI'm still unsure. Brandon was worried as well. I have received some not-so-nice comments in the past on my blog and this story is so personal. God found me in one of my weakest moments and I've been bursting at the seems to share it with more people. I may end up allowing comments; however, I reserve the right to delete them! =)
DeleteIt breaks my heart for you that anyone would be any less than supportive about your journey, even the "ugly" stuff.
ReplyDeleteRegardless of whether you choose to allow comments or not, I for one admire you, especially given how open and honest you are about every facet of your life.
Blah; I meant to post the above reply to you, Val. I've received some ugly comments in the past. =/ I'm entitled to share my story here. God will be glorified in our situation. I feel like I may have seen a glimpse of the bigger picture. I'm still sad and ready to have a child of my own, but I'm working on that whole "in His time" thing. ;)
