Although I have been linking up to most of my regular places, during the month of October there were times I was unable to make all my usual rounds with the 31 Day Challenge hosted by The Nester over at
The Nesting Place. Pop on by if you missed it for some great reading.
I do not know what possessed me to do it as I honestly was considering stepping back from blogging a bit to work on other writing projects BUT I ended up with this crazy idea of 31 Days of Faith Life Preservers…and wala! I was in.
Top Five Posts of The 31 Day Series

Day 15: Christian Chicks and Mama Ducks
Day 16: A Heart Like His
Day 22: When You Feel You Don’t Fit In

The last week of October blew me away,
seriously. The Hurricane blew in, blew a tree down in our front yard, took our power for a few days and then left us a heap of mess to clean up. I took pictures of the storm but they came out terrible.
I know full well how lucky I am.
How minimal in actuality the inconvenience and damage that we experienced.
So many are still dealing with the aftermath.
Praying for New Jersey, New York and also the devastated areas of coastline in my own area.

It seems so incredibly fast paced to me.
Sandy came through like a freight train and people just want life to return to normal.
But some things will take time…as well as prayers and hands to help when possible.
We squeezed in Halloween and still the Book Fair at school.
Some families still did not have power throughout the week, including the poor teachers.
But God has dealt mercifully with us.
My heart goes out for those who have more loss and damage.

This Sunday our church joined in the town efforts to clean up the debris that overflowed from ocean to the nearby lake property. Sadly the fresh water lake was overtaken by the saltwater of the sea and much of the animal life has been negatively impacted. Fresh water and saltwater fish who cannot survive in the opposite water environment were left dead. So many things I did not even think about which are impacted by the storm.
I also wanted to share with you all a really cool ebook
I won (I love to win stuff) on a twitter party this weekend for the books release party!
You might very well be interested in it too!

Congratulations on the devotional site appointment. My month pales in comparison to yours, but there's a reason for that. I am beginning a six week time of busyness.
