Are you a blogger? If so, do you ever get discouraged in regards to blog traffic? Wendy puts a wonderful God-spin on a question that sometimes plagues us bloggers. The answer: sometimes God doesn’t package His gifts the way we’d like them. If you are experiencing some blogging discouragement I highly recommend this read for a pick-me-up. You may never look at your blog the same again.

I actually asked my friend D to post this next article on Titus 2 Tuesday because #3 really met me where I was. What is #3? Well, let’s just say you have to read it to find out, but if you are struggling with your one-on-one time with God, maybe this post will give you just the encouragement you need to make it happen.

This week I want to highlight yet another 31 day series that I’m enjoying on Mom By Example titled 31 Days to a More Joyful Holiday Season. I’ve especially enjoyed the gift idea post which is broken down by age! This list will definitely come in handy this year with our Christmas lists I’m sure.

Now on to this week’s party….
Each week I will do my best to share a few of the most clicked links as well as a few of my favorites. Be sure to check back here every Tuesday to see if you’ve been featured and to link up. Now let’s get this party started. I can’t wait to see what you have to share!
Party Guidelines:
- Post topics can include the topics of marriage, parenting, homemaking, devotional thoughts, time management, money management, organization, home decor, recipes, DIY, tutorials, and more. If it would encourage another to be a Titus 2 woman, let us hear about it, but please refrain from including giveaways, sales, Etsy, or linky party posts.
- Link as many posts as like that have not been linked to Titus 2 Tuesdays before. Remember, link to a SPECIFIC post, not your whole blog.
- Add a party button or text back link to your post. My personal favorites always do. ;) Why? Because doing so not only helps my SEO, it helps yours too. By the way, only linking to your blog parties page at the end of your post really doesn’t help anyone’s SEO and neither does it qualify as a backlink. Just sayin’. Need help? Html for a text link back: Cornerstone Confessions
- Visit at least two other links and share some encouragement.
- Although not mandatory, I’d love it if you’d follow me in some way, shape or form. I always enjoy making new friends. And, if you follow me via RSS or e-mail you’ll receive a link to my Blog-and-Home-Planner Printables FREE as a thank you!
Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God. Titus 2:3-5
Hi! Welcome to Cornerstone Confessions. My name is Kathy Gossen and I'm a full time homemaker learning about what it means to be a godly woman in the everyday. On Cornerstone Confessions I share my adventures in organizing, homeschooling, cooking, parenting, and more as a means to encourage other women in their quest to becoming a Titus 2 model in their homes and beyond.
LOL Your party popped up on my feed just as I was getting ready to go to bed! Thanks for hosting and have a great week!

Hello, I’ve only just found you all so though I’d jump in too!
The Hot Mulled Scrumpy Cider recipe I posted is just perfect for standing around bonfires and outdoor events at this time of year, and will warm you from the inside out! There is also an family friendly, alcohol free version too
All the best
