If you are not familiar with Not Alone, I encourage you to hop on over and take a look. I am humbled and honored to be a part of the team behind Not Alone. We have only been a round for a couple of months, and already I have been incredible blessed and encouraged by it.
So here is the scoop...
66 million.
That's how
many unique visitors that About.com averages e-v-e-r-y month! And
here's the link on About.com where you can find people reading and
disussing being a parent of a child with special needs, life, and faith:
Oh...that's right. There isn't any.
Sad
but true. You can find a variety of links on About.com
concerning Christianity. And special needs. But none where the two
intersect. I want to change that and I need your help to do it.
I don't think I"ve ever shared this with you but the vision I crafted for our blog is simply this:
"To
make Christ-followers by sharing God's love with parents and
grandparents of children with special needs with the hope of building
community through shared stories of life, faith, and parenthood."
The focus of Not Alone is to lead parents one step
closer to Christ...or depending where they're at in their walk...to
deepen their faith in Christ.
Having a higher
level of visibility on About.com will allow us to reach a much larger
audience of parents who need to hear a Good Word. To know that they
don't walk alone. To read that there is a God who loves them and their
child unconditionally.
To be selected as the Favorite Special Needs Parenting
Blog 2013 will require that all of us vote regularly. And to use our
social media to ask those who trust us to vote too. I would vote a
hundred times a day...but I can't. I can only vote once. But one vote
counts. It makes a difference.
We are easily the largest blog in this contest but
currently in 3rd place. The challenge with a big blog...just like a big
church...is that everyone thinks someone else will step forward to get
the job done..and in the end...nobody does.
Each day that you're on Facebook, please vote. It only takes 75-seconds. Ask others to vote with you. I
don't want to miss out on the chance to share our life-stories and
God-lessons with parents who so desparately need to hear that they're
loved, that they're not alone, that there is One who desires to have an
eternal relationship with them.
We have a section for prayer requests on our blog. There are 900+ comments that parents have shared. Make a
resolution right now to take a very short amount of time each day to
vote for Not Alone. Here's the link:

God bless and thank you for joining us in our effort.
