When I started my blog, I was only reading the blogs of people I knew. Slowly, I'd start to click on a blog that one of my friends followed...which led to clicking on a blog that person followed...which led to me finding so many of my current favorite blogs.
I follow over 160 blogs. While that may seem like a lot, quite a few of those haven't had a new post in months...or the blogger doesn't blog on a regular basis. So, it's probably more accurate to say that I read about 75 different blogs in a week...most of which have multiple posts in a week.
While I love all of the blogs I follow, sometimes I have a hard time keeping up on reading each one. I try my best, but some of them end up getting skimmed when I'd much rather take the time to soak in each word. I'm sure some of you have done this very same thing.
As I was thinking through this week on my priorities and how I can make this situation better, I came up with somewhat of a solution: I'm going to start a weekly blog series about my top 5 blog posts for the week.
If you are anything like me, you probably come across a couple of amazing posts each week that you really allow to sink in...but you quickly forget about them as you go through the rest of your week. I want to take the time to allow those words to sink in, to really let them marinate, as a good friend at church so often says. I don't want a post to simply change my life for the five minutes that it took me to read it; I want it to change my life for a much longer period of time.
So, I introduce to you Finding Refuge's You're the Bee's Knees Weekly Top 5. Each week, I will not only highlight the blog post and explain why I love it, but also include a reason or two as to why I love the blogger.
I'd also love for you to link up with me each week and include your top 5. I am hoping that this will not only be a great way for me to showcase some amazing posts from the bloggers I already love...but also for me to discover some new loves!
I have some big plans for this link up. Some weeks, I may have a theme for what sort of posts to showcase (like maybe my top 5 beauty posts one week, fashion the next, and inspirational the following...that sort of thing). Other weeks will just be random. I'm just really excited to be able to take this opportunity to reflect more on posts that touch my life in one way or another, and to bless the bloggers that posted them!
I will be publishing my first Bee's Knees post on Friday. I hope you will come back to link up with me!
