1. Content(writing styles, etc.)

The content on this blog is original and very well written. It focuses on the author's life living as an abused child and growing up using a variety of drug/alchol/self-abuse addictions caused from it, and how finding God helped to relieve the anxiety, depression and released a way of expression that will give hope to others who have experienced abusive relationships in their lives.

2. Colors (eye-catching, blends, etc.)

The colors chosen on this blog fit it very nicely, warm browns and creams tend to cause a comfortable relaxed feeling.

3. Fonts (Background contrasts, etc.)

The fonts used on this blog are easy to read and the cream background really helps remove the glare while reading which can cause eye fatigue.

4. Layouts (orderly, theme etc.)

The layout/theme for this blog work for it.. But I have a feeling that this author will be dumping the pre-made template and creating a template that will highlight the importance of this blogger's message.

5. Navigational (working links. etc.)

All the links seem to work just fine, and it is easy to navigate through the blog. It is easy to find the different areas offered in the blog including comment section, which is important.

Sarah: You have a very awesome writing style, your writing is very descriptive and will help many identify with what you have been through and the changes that have happended in your life since you met the Lord. I truly believe that being so transparent in your writing will help someone else escape the horrors of abusive relationships, addictions and self hatred. Keep writing, you may never know how many you have helped... even if it is just one... it will make it all worthwhile. Beautiful writing, Great job! I'll be back to visit occasionally to see what else you've been up to!
God Bless You!
