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.
