My Second Month
Woohoo! Month Two
I've really started enjoying myself! I've learned so much. I expected this journey to lead to monetary wealth (and maybe it will some day!) but it led to something SO much more valuable-
Fulfillment.
I've been very fulfilled. I can feel a void being filled that I was trying to fill with "stuff" before hand. I've grown closer to the Lord. I have a long way to go, but it's already been so worth it!
NOW a basic over view of my website progress!
Google trusts me 20% now (right on!) I'm assuming it goes up 10% every month then, if you keep adding quality content that is.
From the pages of mine I've checked with Jaaxy.com, I have AT LEAST one page that's on page 2 of Google. Others are on pages 5 and 6. It's a start :)
Alas, I can not compare how many views I get per day, because if you've read my last blog, you'll see that there were some major technical issues that befuddled my analytics, oh no! Oh well :) Lessons Learned :)
I'm currently on Course 5, lesson 8. I don't work on this daily because it hinders my website work! The lessons have taught me SO much! :)
This month has FLOWN by! Not only have a learned so much about the Bible, but I've learned and adapted to technical issues as well. SO let's check out if I completed my MONTH ONE Goals.
Side note on Wealthy Affiliate:
My rank is 233 whaaaaa- :)
Did I complete this months goals?
Yes and no.
These were my goals:
GOALS FOR MONTH TWO
1) Get all of the "basic bible stories" posted
2) Take my pictures for the posts
3) Have "cracked" at least 5 "contradictions" and post them
4) Get google adsense on my page!
- OKAY so I got all but 4 of the basic Bible stories posted. One of them took THREE days to fully comprehend! And I'm not going to just throw stuff up that I'm not sure about! :) I did however manage to put up 5 articles a week though, so I feel it's okay :)
- My site looks SO much more professional now because instead of taking ALL of my own photos, I've been getting them off of pixabay.com After all, this site isn't about my photography, it's about getting people to read about God! I've gone through and added photos and call to action buttons to ALL of my pages. I count this as another success :)
- I DID prove 5 supposed contradictions in the Bible false *Victory dance*
- I DID get google adsense on my page!.... But then a good friend of mine showed me that it was putting up advertisements that were definitely contradictory to my message! Soooo I took it down. This is what I would call a bittersweet success.
BONUS: I've added a donation button. This is really for monitory value though. This money goes directly towards giving away Bible to others! (No one has donated, but that's okay. I can get some for free to start off!)
Goals for Month Three!
- Put up the last four Basic Bible Stories
- Have "cracked" 5 more "contradictions" and posted them
- Get chapter 2 of my book written
- Research and write about 2 more prophecies that are being fulfilled today.

WOW! Congratulations! That is fabulous!!! Your commitment is very impressive.
Way to go!!!!
Yes, Adsense could definitely display ads contrary to your message! If you dig into the filters, you can block a lot of stuff. You can block specific URLs, keywords, and general categories. I would first look into the "sensitive categories". I see a couple doozies there that would probably not be good on a bible-related site.
Good luck, and don't give up on Adsense! (At least not yet.)
Hey, thanks for that!
I'll definitely give it a good ole, round two! Maybe it can work out after all :)
Wishing you the very best~

Amen. Lol to the psalm 121 during labour part!!! For me it was psalm 23 especially the,'though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death' part.....Felt like I was on my way to the sweet by and by.....labour is no joke!!!!!!
Yup, oh my goodness labor is serious stuff! I totally felt like I was on my way to the sweet by and by too! Ahhh memories.. Terrible, terrible memories. LOL
Excellent progress, thanks for such an encouraging report, and especially that the report is about such an excellent subject! What is your website URL, I'm always interested in learning more about the Word! Best wishes for your success!
Hi Bobby!
Thanks, I'm happy with the progress too! Here's my URL
https://yourbasicbible.com/
I cover a lot! Lol
1.) The basic Bible stories
2.) Explaining supposed contradictions one by one
3.) Godly Relationships
4.) Prophecy that's being fulfilled today
5.) My personal favorite isn't in the menu! I've put it on my right side bar. My "Deeper thoughts" column delves into deep symbolism of the scriptures!
I hope you like it!
Wishing you nothing but Joy~

Wow. It is refreshing to find a fellow child of God. Will definitely be following you. I am in my first month and honestly past few days have fallen into a rut of depression and inertia due to personal challenges. But will have to resist the devil so he can flee from me,get up,dust myself off and soldier on.
Hi Jane! (That's my daughter's name)
Well it's refreshing to meet you too! :) I've not met too many Christians myself :p
I completely get the rut! Honestly, the only way to avoid a rut, it pleasing God. I know that sounds backwards to many people, since the world says "following your heart makes you happy" but they're wrong!
God made us to be joyful :) Believe me, I know how challenging that is! But we truly have to work to be happy! Did you know that the muscles you use to smile (which includes a fake smile) will ACTUALLY change your brains Chemical Balance and make you feel better? There's been many scientific studies on it. I'd advise checking it out :)
Feel free to PM ANYTIME, for whatever reason :)
Let's talk again!
Have a beautiful day

PS~ Below are my personal favorite verse that I quote to myself. I repeated Psalm 121 when I was in labor! LOL
Proverbs 17:22
"A merry heart doeth good like a medicine, but a brokEn spirit drieth the bones."
Psalms 121
1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2 My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.
3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. 4 Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand. 6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. 8 The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
Hey Attila!
Yes, I LOVE planning everything. God has really made me bend to just trust on HIM though! I use to get stressed out by deadlines, and trying to make it go exactly how I wanted, but now, God is continually teaching me to be ambitious (for His work), but still be accepting of HIS timing!
James 4:15
"For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that."
Wishing you fulfillment

What a coincidence I always comment religion as topic in WA and I see that I've already commented the page:
"Why a Crown of Thorns"
I will go back to your site on the sidebar to comment an other topic!
