Calling all Christian & College Bloggers!

If you’re a high school or college girl that loves blogging and Jesus like I do, I have an opportunity for you!

I don’t know about you, but I’ve spent a lot of time trying to find Facebook groups, Pinterest boards, and Instagram pods to meet and connect with other bloggers, and while some of them are awesome, I have yet to find a solid group specifically for college bloggers, let alone Christian ones!

I’m in a great Facebook group for all Christian women bloggers, and the fellowship and connection in the group is great, but I can’t relate to many of the ladies’ blogs mostly because of age (I’m not married or a mom…) and I’m sure they feel the way about relating to my posts.

I’m in another Facebook group open to any bloggers, but it’s way too big to be productive, and the community isn’t as strong as the first group.

I was disheartened at first by the lack of a group that I felt I fit into, so I decided to fill the void and make a group instead, tada!!

After a few weeks of thinking and praying about it, I created a Facebook group called “Graced College Girl Bloggers”! If this is something that sounds good to you, or you’ve experienced similar struggles in finding the right blogging group for you, I hope this can be it!

Click here to check out the group!

If you’re a fellow Godly girl blogger who isn’t quite at the “mommy-blogger” or “marriage-blogger” phase yet (which is totally fine, we’re each in our own season!), I’d love to have you join! Please click the link and at least check it out.

The group is just getting started, but I know it has great potential and I really hope you’ll consider being a part of it if you relate at all to its audience and purpose.

If you do want to join, please request to join through the Facebook link above, comment below, email me (KristenShaneBlog@gmail.com), find me on Instagram (Instagram.com/KristenShane), anything!!

I want to make this something awesome, and a place for us to meet and support each other.

I really hope to see you there, blessings!

 

**I don’t mean to exclude anyone that doesn’t fall into the target of this group, I just wanted to create a place where bloggers like me would fit best!**

      Yes absolutely!! I couldn’t decide on a better name because “young” and “teen” I felt weren’t quite right. I’d love to have you & any other high school bloggers!!

    I am so glad to see something like this being created. I can definitely relate to not quite fitting into the available blogging groups due to my age and blog focus. Though I don’t fit into the group (I graduated last year, and I’m married) I sincerely hope that this group is successful because it is very much needed. May God bless the work you and the other bloggers in the group do.

      Thanks so much! I really wanted to create a group to fill the gap, but I’m sorry you don’t quite fit 🙁 I had to draw the line somewhere unfortunately. Thank you so much for your support, it means a lot!

    What an awesome idea, Kristen. I know I’m just starting out and don’t really know what the heck I’m doing, but it’ll be so much easier with a support group! I sent the re quest on Facebook right now. Facebook name is Leanna (which is my legal name). lol

      We’d love to have you!!! It’s a great way to get some support and meet fellow bloggers. I don’t consider myself experienced at all, but Facebook groups have been such a blessing! There’s also a big one “Christian Women Bloggers Unite” that got me started in Facebook groups and led me to create the Graced Girl group! I’ll go add you now 🙂 so glad you found me!

    I guess I have two of the three qualifications, but I’m missing the Christian part… oh well. Good luck though! 🙂
