1. Where did the name In Pursuit of Proverbs 31 come from?
I have always believed that it should be our life’s quest as women to pursue the things of Proverbs 31. Why? Because the only way to obtain any of them is to be completely submitted to and put Jesus first! The pursuit of Proverbs 31 is the pursuit of Jesus Christ.
2. How long ago did you start blogging and why did you begin?
When I began homeschooling I did a google search for Konos and found Sprittibee’s blog. I read it through and through and became hooked. After reading it for several months I started my own blog. That was in February of 2006.
3. How did you become a devotional writer for CWO and what can I do to become one?
To be a writer for CWO magazine here are the guidelines: Writers Guidelines
I became a writer for The Internet Café after the owner, Darlene Schacht emailed me and offered me the opportunity. I had previously won a writer’s contest sponsored by CWO and the prize was a fabulous iPod. Zip down the road a year or so later and I am now a co-owner of the site. Our writer's guidelines are here: Guidelines. We are always excited to see women flowing in their gift of writing and we would love to consider you work. Submit it to:
amy@internetcafedevotions.com or
lori@Internetcafedevotions.com
I also suggest participating in Tuesdays: In “other” Words and leaving comments on The Internet Café site often. This will prompt others to click on your link and go to your blog. From there, we can read your fabulous work!
4. Can you post my prayer request?
I will most certainly pray for your needs if you request it however, I recommend that all prayer requests go to The Prayer Room hosted by CWO Magazine. My blog only gets about 100 hits a day right now whereas The Prayer Room gets significantly more. If you prefer to have your prayer request posted here then contact me. I will also be happy to forward a request to The Prayer Room for you.
5. What church do you go to?
I attend Healing Place Church. I have been there for more than three years now and absolutely love it! It is a church that is all about the people and spreading the love of Christ. After 10 years of being in the wrong house, I am finally home!

12. Why do you have ads on your blog?
I am very picky about what companies endorse me and I have high standards. I am thankful that I have the opportunity to make some spare change while spending time on my blog.
13. How do you find things to blog about?
Quite a while back while I was scrapbooking, I began to ponder over what type of things would I want to pass on to my daughter (I do intend to have a daughter one day even if I have to adopt). Or even to my daughters in law for that matter. This way I could give them a book of advice without ever butting in! ;o) So I began to write down topics:
1. Kitchen Efficiency
2. Keeping clothes clean
3. where to get great deals and how to sell online
4. homeschooling stuff
5. make-up tips
6. getting out of debt
7. overcoming trials
8. recipes
9. family history (grandma, grandpas, etc)
10. my planner, etc
My list was 3 pages long and I have only done about 10 of them. The rest of my blog is full of whatever I think of that day!
So anyways, when I discovered blogging this was the first thing I thought of. It is a virtual scrapbook that I can pass on with all my tips tricks and anything else I can think of. Plus, I get input from all of you ladies in comments which makes it even more special.I also put special memories with pictures in there just to have that as well.... vacations, trips, etc.
14. What advice do you have for a beginning blogger?
Don’t get overwhelmed and don’t try to be another blogger. Be true to yourself.
