Peace for the Storm has been up and running as a project for exactly one month today! And today, we’re launching our website–it’s still a bit under construction, but that just means we have lots in store! One of the main reasons we developed the website was to have a way to involve you, our readers, with the project. We would love to have you contribute to our project by sharing your favorite inspirational verses and hymns. Photographers–we’d love to have submissions from you as well! Head on over to the Submissions page to see what we’re looking for as far as our color scheme. We also want to make it easy for you to Pin, share and save our content through the website. In fact, several people have told us they have saved Peace for the Storm pictures to their phones or computers and used them as wallpapers, so guess what? We’re formatting some of our most popular posts as wallpapers! We only have a few at the moment, but keep an eye out for more coming soon on the Downloads page. We’re also beginning to share expanded content related to our daily images–devotional thoughts, guest posts, and even music links. So please bookmark our site and keep coming back!
We’re pretty excited about how well the project has taken off, and we’re so thankful for all the support everyone has shown, sharing our posts on Facebook and Instagram and even Pinterest (we just got going with that last week!). We’re nearing 600 followers on Facebook, and we’re just a bit over 200 on Instagram so far. We actually did not expect our following to grow this quickly, and we know that it is all due to God. But Peace for the Storm is not about likes and followers, in that it is a popularity contest or that we’re trying to drive numbers. It’s about spreading the message we feel God has given us… the message of hope and peace and encouragement in the middle of the chaos of life. It’s about joining together as believers (or non-believers looking for hope) as we wait for the day when all the pain and heartache in this world will one day be over and we will finally be with Him. We’re so glad you’ve decided to visit our site or follow us on social media, and we truly hope this project can be a blessing to you and to others you share it with!
