Well I have decided to take the plunge.
I will be joining in with Nester over at Nesting Place for the first time for a 31 Day journey.
I have chosen to go with that which God has given me when I first pondered the question after journeying over to her site upon Lisa-Jo’s stellar recommendation.
After realizing that I had plenty I could focus on to benefit myself and others,
I considered the fact that the timing is bad. I have been pondering blogging less, not more.
Yet there it was. The call. The challenge.
Short notice. As of late a somewhat shipwrecked faith.
Struggling to stay afloat here in some very tumultuous waters.
I slept on it.
Or should I say, I slept.
Today the first thought I had was that I need to do this for me.
So often God uses these opportunities- even THIS as a Life Preserver for my own faith!
So casting my fears and reservations aside, I am diving in.
Why?
Because I believe God will use the next 31 Days to keep me afloat.
I will tell you that last year I did a 31 Days of Thanksgiving Journey in November.
That was a turning point for my blog writing.
Once I started writing for the blog daily,
I never really slowed down.
The past two weeks have been especially challenging.
I have considered pulling back.
Drawing the anchor in and drifting.
I have thought about being quiet over here at this little corner
that God has allowed me to bloom.
But I am trusting God has other plans.
I find myself unable to refuse His gentle nudges.
I am trusting He has something to say to me, and perhaps you, too.
Will you join me?
I am not sure where it will lead.
I cannot predict His Spirit.
But I can step out in faith.
And dive right in.
