Happy Blogiversary, AllAccess!

Sophie - June 8, 2009

It occurred to me over the weekend that we hit the one year mark here on AllAccess this past Friday. And when I thought back over everything Melanie and I have had the privilege to see and hear and do with LifeWay Women this past year, I thought of a question that people ask me all the time (ALL THE TIME).

What's it like to do that blog stuff with the people at LIfeWay?

And here is my answer.

It is so. stinkin'. fun.

Here's the thing: you know how you get sort of a glimpse of people's personalities and you wonder if that's what they're really like in the day-to-day? Well, I can honestly tell you that what you see is what you get with LifeWay's women's ministry team. If you've watched that video of Pam and Paige over there and wondered if that's really how they act in real life? YES. If you've watched Travis and his praise team sing at an event and wondered if they really are that passionate about leading worship? YES. If you've heard Vicki Courtney tell a funny story from the platform and wondered if she's funny when she's not teaching? YES. And on and on and on.

Every single time Melanie and I leave an event, we always say the same two things: 1) I SO needed to hear that message and 2) I've never met a more inclusive group of people in my life. From the event team to the praise team and every team in between, the LifeWay Women folks are welcoming and loving and a general blast to be around. They are a group of people who truly love the Lord and love serving His people. Their joy is absolutely contagious. And it is real.

It's been really encouraging for Mel and me (and so many of you, too) to see that, you know?

Finally.

Thanks so much to all of you for reading and commenting this past year! We appreciate you more than you know, and we are so grateful to have such wonderful bloggy friends. Y'all really are the best.

Happy Blogiversary!
