I’ve never been totally sold on the name of my blog. I started it back in August 2009, just days after loosing our firstborn son, Andrew, and had to come up with a name for it quickly. I didn’t have much time to give it thought or come up with something catchy or creative (not that I was in any state of mind to be catchy). All I knew was that I was clinging to the only thing I knew was unchangeable, my God. In those early days, I knew that God was going to be my rock in a very real and tangible way as I tried to rebuild my shattered life. So, after searching through some scripture, I found the verse that you see at the top of my blog which reads,
Psalm 62:1-2
My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
So, I went with titling my blog “My God is My Rock.” While that title is so true in my life – it was then when we lost Andrew and is now going on 2 years later – I just haven’t been sold. I didn’t worry too much about it at the beginning and figured I could always change it later if I wished. After all, this blog is about so much more than catchy titles anyway. It’s been a source of healing for me as we navigated those early days/weeks/months without our son, and continues to be a place where I can share about God’s redemptive work in my heart and in my family, as well as just the latest happenings in the Eddins household.
With all that said, I’m on the hunt for a new blog title if I can find the right one. It’s no big deal if I can’t come up with something different, but I’d sort of like to change things up a bit. I like the God as my rock theme, since He’s ultimately the foundation of all that I have and am, so I sort of want to stick with something along those lines, but I’m open to anything at this point. I’m also interested in getting a blog makeover. I used to think I was pretty tech savvy, but realized just how old I am as far as that goes when I started this blog. It still takes me way to long to upload pictures (maybe come of that is this terrible Acer laptop!), and I am still learning how to make posting easier and quicker!
So, if any of you readers have any ideas on blog titles or know of anyone who could do an inexpensive (or free) blog makeover for me, I’d certainly be interested in your feedback. Feel free to leave a comment with the info or email me!
Hummmm I will starting thinking on it 🙂
