Now that that's out of the way, here's the answers to my questions...
What motivated you to start blogging?
God! I was thinking about all the great things God has done for me and that I have seen in my life. I wanted a platform to share and blogging appealed to me, as I could reach a potential large audience as well as share the stories with my friends/families
