day 31 - big: reflecting

31 Days Index

Well, dolls, today marks the end of our 31 Day series. Wow. What a journey this past month has been...in so many ways! I feel like I've really gotten to dig deep into my daily life, my decisions (big and little), and why I do what I do; moreover,  I feel renewed, recharged, refocused, lifted up, and blessed.
I think reflecting is a natural and necessary result of being intentional. Why did I do that? What was the intention behind that choice?

If I had to hammer down one a few big takeaways from this series, they would be to keep being intentional about my life's purpose, my time, and my priorities. Writing about those 3 topics was very convicting for me. The time post (combined with the gifts one too!) convicted me so deeply that the shop was born!! Glory to YOU, Lord!!

I want to renew my sense of purpose in each of those areas on daily basis! Regardless of what the world thinks...as long as I'm honoring God, my family, and my life for HIS glory...well, I think I'm doing just fine. ;) I am a sinner who make all sorts of mistakes. [All the time.] That's why I need Jesus! But I'm trying...striving...seeking...needing Him more in every moment of my life. Thank you, Lord, for Your grace!! Thank you, Lord, for your constant Presence!

Sweet, sweet readers friends...I am humbled that you walked and ventured in this journey with me! You have no idea how blessed I have been by yall's encouragement, feedback, thoughts, texts, phone calls, comments...(everything!) along the way. With a full heart...thank you. Bless you!

And (of course) CHEERS!
...To being intentional... :)

Keep at it! And I'm always here if you need a little encouragement. :)

A Blessed Life Link-Up
Today I'm linking this post to my sweet friend Tara's first monthly A Blessed Life linkup. Let's be intentional about sharing the blessings in our lives!!! Reflecting on this series certainly gave me new eyes to see the outpouring of blessings God bestows upon me daily. Pop on over to Tara's blog and link-up! You'll love her. She's basically my long lost life twin. See if you can figure out the multiple reasons why!! ;)

    Love this! I just finished up my first 31 days series too! We definitely had some of the same ideas...must be our newlywed status ;) http://atwelladventures.wordpress.com/2013/09/30/31-days-fall-2013/ I'm happy I found your blog through NC bloggers link! Like me, you specified where in NC you were! We are here in Hampstead {about 20 minutes outside of Wilmington} for another month before we make a move to Augusta, Georgia. I'll miss this little first home of ours but I'm excited about new adventures too! Cheers to you!

    Ok, so now I get to go back and read your last 31 day journey! I feel like I am actually in the exact same place and have a draft of a post about very similar topics that I need to finally get the courage to publish! Thanks for the encouragement! XO
