"Park"
Write 31 Days Challenge - Day 21
Hello, friends! It's Friday and I wanted to break away from my routine a little because frankly, I didn't know what to write about today. So just for fun, I decided try Kate Motaung's Five Minute Friday which she hosts on her blog. (I found her on Facebook)
Today's prompt is "park". Go
When I hear the word "park" it conjures up . . .
Bring God's Fullness
Write 31 Days Challenge - Day 20
I am an introvert by nature and I was intrigued by the title of Chapter 4, Alone in a Crowded Room. (from "Uninvited" by Lysa TerKeurst) She states on pg. 43, "Proximity and activity don't always equal connectivity." Wow, I can certainly relate.

It's one of my favorites, not because it makes me feel good, but it's a great promise and weapon to hold onto! 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 has become a battle cry of sorts for me...to defeat the enemy and to take my rightful authority.

Be Still
Write 31 Days Challenge - Day 17
As I sat on my back deck recently, I was looking at the trees. The ones in the foreground were still, but the ones in the background were being blown by the wind. I was struck with how that is like life sometimes.
Near others, or on the surface, our life looks fine. however, further away, deeper, in the space that no one else sees; . . .

"Live loved"
Write 31 Days Challenge - Day 16
Chapter 3 from "Uninvited" by Lysa TerKeurst took me on a journey to "live loved" and to step away from the busyness of life. I love the quote in the picture. Jesus was never in a hurry. I was even more thrilled when I noticed the italicizes words form an acronym. (Yes, I love acronyms and just shared one a few days ago.) In order to "live . . .

Rest and Fun
Write 31 Days Challenge - Day 15
Wow, today marks the halfway point of my journey in the Write 31 Days Challenge. I have met some new friends along the way. I have learned some things about myself, become more disciplined and decided I really do enjoy writing. I am also in a period of transition and learning how to take time for myself. It's ok and necessary to just "be". I . . .
