Like so many people here, I’m pretty devastated about the recent announcement.  That being said, I trust that the SE staff has good reasoning for this change, and I trust that God has His hand on the situation.  I suppose ultimately this wonderful blessing might have only been meant to prepare us all to step into the callings that God has prepared for us (I know it certainly was for me.)  But….that doesn’t make it any less hard 🙁

So, in light of the recent events, I’ve had an idea to put together a blog/Instagram/newsletter project compiling testimonies of how the SE forums have impacted people here as a final hurrah of sorts to help us process this.  I’m not exaggerating when I say that this forum became a second home of sorts for me, and was a steady encouragement through difficult family and social dynamics.  While I’ve been painfully aware that people (myself included) were moving on from the forums, this just feels like the final nail in the coffin of a wonderful stage of life.  I want to give the SE forums the send off they deserve, as well as give people a chance to connect outside of the forums before they close.  My plan is to gather all of the people with blogs, newsletters, writing/bookish Instagram accounts, and to kickoff an SE tribute train where everyone can get a chance to both pay their respects to the forums and how God has used them to impact so many lives, as well as get a chance to follow and engage with other people from SE!  And if anyone wants to participate but doesn’t have any social media, I (and I’m sure others) would be more than happy to host your tribute on my blog!
