As a blogger, I’m often surprised at which of my posts are popular and which aren’t. I’ll write some that I think are ho-hum, but you’ll comment on them and share them all over social media. On the other hand, I’ll write some that I think are really interesting and beneficial, but only one or two of you will comment on them and you won’t share them on social media. This certainly keeps me humble!
Among the 400+ posts I’ve published here, there are a number of truly meaningful ones that are unsung. For one reason or another, these posts weren’t as popular as I expected them to be given their content. I’m going to use today’s post as an opportunity to highlight these unsung posts. Many are personal favorites of mine and others are posts that I believe are genuinely beneficial to you. I hope you enjoy reading some of these less acclaimed posts!

This is such a neat idea! I love getting to see some of your very meaningful-but “unsung”-posts. I really like your one about putting excuses in their place-that is such a good self-examination and way to hold oneself accountable. So often, it does seem that people rely a huge amount on making excuses, which just isn’t the way that God calls us to live.
I also find it interesting that some of your “ho-hum” posts are quite popular, but some of your more meaningful posts don’t garner as much interest-I’ve found the exact same I’ve found the exact same thing happens with me! Like you said, it does keep us humble, and reminds us that we’re God’s instruments, and should be satisfied with however He desires to work through us-and that a post which we just threw together may truly help another person!
Hi AnneMarie,
It all reminds me of Proverbs 19:21 “Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” Indeed, it keeps me humble!
These are great, thank you for sharing them in one post!!
Hi Sarah,
