It’s 2019! // Introduction, Schedule Update, & Word of the Year

1/1/2019

 
It’s 2019. I am in shock! 2018 passed so quickly and so much has changed! Can you believe it’s the start of a new year? It’s already January! At this point, you are probably thinking, “Wow, Ryana Lynn, did you just now notice? We all saw it coming.”

Okay.

I will move on from this totally random rant, the perfect way to start this year’s blog calendar!

Let's start over.

Hello everyone! Welcome to Life of Heritage Corner! We are rolling into our 4th year on the web and it’s been so encouraging to see the growth! For all of you that are new, I thought it would be fun to give you an introduction to me and my blog. I wanted to do a tag, but I couldn’t find one I liked…so anyway, here we go!

  1. My name is Ryana Lynn Miller. I go by Ryana Lynn, even though I have never gotten up my nerve to introduce myself to anyone in person by that name. I hope to change that this year though!
  2. I am a born-again, Independent Baptist PK. That’s Preacher’s Kid, lol! My family represents the Fundamental Broadcasting Network, out of Grace Baptist Church in Newport, N.C. We travel full-time, spreading the news about FBN. We have free apps for Apple and Android devices, so give a listen and let the station know what you think! You can find more info @ www.fbnradio.com!
  3. My favorite Scripture is Jude 22, my favorite chapter is John 3 and my favorite books of the Bible are 1&11 Samuel and the Book of Luke.
  4. I am a redhead 😉 I also have blue eyes, making me part of the rarest hair and eye color combination in the world!
  5. I am one of seven kiddos! I’m the third oldest and the oldest at home. I am also aunt to six amazing little ones that I love to the moon and back! And only one of them is redheaded, just like me 😉
  6. I am Pro-Life and that is reflected in my site name, Life of Heritage. I value life as the battleground of Liberty and a sacred right given by God. Without Life, there cannot be Freedom. I am thankful for my country, the ancestry God gave me and the mission He has entrusted to me. I try to reflect that through the atmosphere here at Life of Heritage.
  7. I love to write, lol! I have published three Novels in The Battle for Heritage Series (there are two more to go!) and one Novella, Coffee Shop Christmas.
  8. I am a History Buff and will enthusiastically squeal over how amazing the Founding Fathers and Stonewall Jackson were with like-minded friends 😉 The War Between the States is my favorite time era, followed by WWII and The Revolution.
  9. I have a deep respect for the military (used to live near Cherry Point) and hope to someday write a series spring-boarding off of 9/11. I was 5 when that tragedy took place and it has impacted me deeply.
  10. I love our First Responders and think that just as we thank our servicemen for their service to our country, we should do the same for the Police, Firemen, and EMTs.

Before we go farther, I would like to invite you to subscribe to my blog! You will receive an email every time a post goes live, get insider information, a chance to give feedback for the blog and exclusive content!

I’ve worked out a schedule for the blog that will give you an idea of what to expect here at Life of Heritage Corner!

One the 1st of the month (or close to it, depending on my schedule) I post my monthly wrap-up, an overview of our ministry, life events, reading/book reviews, writing updates and goals for the upcoming month.

On the first Friday of the month, I will post a devotion, either something all-encompassing or specifically for young ladies. My apologies to any guys who may read this blog 😊

2nd Friday of the month will be a bookish post! Either a book tag, book list, book review…you name it, it’s possible, lol!

3rd Fridays will be dedicated to something History related. It might be something from my ongoing Soldier Life Series or 10 Totally Random facts, a bonus book review, or a totally new series…something I have in the works! Mostly, I am posting about the War Between the States, since that is my current setting for my novels. But, I may stray from it here and there with something from another period, like WWII. It all depends on my current mood, lol!

4th Fridays are going to be writing days! I love writing and these posts will be series I start on the subject, updates on my current WIP (Work-in-progress), or Writing Tags. I have some fun stuff in the making, so stay tuned!

There are 4 months with an extra Friday in them. So, these posts will not have a specific theme. Also, there are times when one of the Fridays runs into a holiday, historic event or my monthly wrap-ups. On such days, I will do my utmost to either bring you two posts that week or combine the topics in some way. Bear with me, I’m still figuring out my calendar, lol!

You can check my Writing Updates page for monthly updates on my current WIP. I’m thinking of changing up the page a little, so keep an eye out!
 
Now, people like the choose a word or phrase as their theme word for the year. I am late jumping on board this bandwagon, but I think it sounds so neat! So, without further ado, my word for 2019 is…

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.
1 Corinthians 16:13
King James Bible


In these days we are living in, it is so important to stand up for the cause of Christ. To not allow ourselves to compromise just to please the crowd. Of course, we are not to go looking for a fight, but we are not to back down from the standard God has given us. This year, I want to stand up for what I believe in, in a Christian, feminine way. Will you join me, ladies? And to any gentlemen who may be reading this, will you purpose in your heart to Stand like the men of the Bible who faced hardships, giving us someone to look up to for an example? I challenge you, be a man or woman of God and Stand up for Jesus!

This conversation isn’t over! Join me on Friday for a devotion on the topic!

Well, I think that’s everything for the time being! Happy 2019!
Have a blessed day!
Ryana Lynn
Jude 22
