A to Z Blogging Challenge Reflections

The April A to Z is finished! Wasn’t that fun? I am so glad I participated again, as I was blessed to be part of this annual month-long blogging event.

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.(2 Timothy 4:7, ESV)

This year, I finished the A to Z Blogging Challenge with six blogs.

• Heart of a Ready Writer
• Meme Express: Blog Prompts
• Nickers and Ink: Poetry and Humor
• Practically at Home
• The Mane Point: A Haven for Horse Lovers
• Working in Words

Like other April A to Z bloggers, I found the marathon of daily posting trying at times, but the momentum was marvelous. I loved the opportunity to push myself creatively and spiritually. The A to Z Challenge kept me digging into God’s Word, hunting for insights, and pondering pieces to share.

Sure, I had dry days. But God is faithful, and He always gave me something new to consider and communicate.

Overall, I loved it.

A to Z Answers: April Blog Challenge Post Digest

Finishing matters! The April A to Z Blogging Challenge offers a prime example of a race that counts completion.

Many years ago, as a fledgling writer, I wrote several articles for a now defunct publication titled Finishing Matters. The magazine focused on wood finishes for various carpentry applications.

That’s a different story altogether.

Today is the first day of May, and the April A to Z Blogging Challenge is over. Like a marathon road race, running just over 26 miles, the blogging event included 26 entries. I completed the A to Z Blogging Challenge for six different blogs, totaling 156 blog posts.
