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.

Yay! We will take the plunge together. He will take our weak “yes” and use it for His glory! I'll be praying you through!
