31 Days of Belonging

OK, let me start by taking a DEEP breath.

My inspirational friend Kate invited me to join her and hundreds of other writers in taking a 31 day writing challenge, hosted by The Nester. The idea is to pick a topic and post something, be it big or small, pithy or pedestrian, every day in October.

Every day.

I guess that’s why she called it a challenge. (Another deep breath.)

I’ve chosen 31 days of Belonging.

I’m excited to explore….

… more of what it means to belong to God (I have some more awesome stick pictures for you!),
… how love and community in our families, friendships, homes, marriages and churches foster that all-important feeling of belonging,
… soul tattoos (curious yet?).

(Another deep breath.)

Each day, I’ll add the new post to the list below so they are all easily accessible.
