Closing Remarks
Linda Soller | Dec 15, 2025
You never know what will become of the small ideas you have. You rarely foresee the scope of projects at the beginning. In 2012 I had this idea of writing a “blog.” Truth be known, I was not sure what that would look like or be like. In my mind it would help those who couldn’t, or maybe wouldn’t, come to the Drop-In class stay connected. The topics often followed what we were covering in class. I feel staying connected to others is critical. The production of this “blog” on a weekly basis was an unknown. Sometimes I think you just have to jump in feet first and see where it takes you. It has been quite the adventure. Some weeks it was easy, and other weeks not so much. Regardless of what was going on in my life there needed to be a blog. There is a point to my rambling. This week’s blog is number seven hundred! Trust me, I never thought I would write so many.
Connection was always my first objective, but food for thought was close behind. Our faith cannot thrive if we just turn it on each Sunday. We need to keep it alive throughout the week. We need to ponder, and reflect, feel strong, plead for help, we need to be open to God at all times and let Him in our lives. There have been blogs that addressed my concerns and worries, but I felt there may be others who shared my challenges. There was humor as much as possible because laughter and smiling goes a long way to healing. Hopefully the blogs never felt like a waste of space. They’ve been such a blessing in my life.
With all of this being said, I have prayerfully come to the conclusion that this will be my last blog. Time for someone else to try? Maybe. Mostly time for me to be free to new adventures and new areas where God can put me to use. I have benefited greatly from this journey. You have encouraged me to keep writing and it’s my sincere hope that I have served you well. For those of you reading this who are thinking, “it’s about time”, or maybe “thank God”, I would say you are right on both counts.
These are my closing remarks, nothing monumental. Then again, it was never my intention to change the world, just help you see yourself of part of the change.
Be strong in the Lord, be kind, and thank you!
Linda
