When you think of faith bloggers, you have a picture in your mind. The ladies that wake up early. They wear bangles and perpetual smiles. There's an inner balance you envy and a peace that you can't explain but actively seek.
I'm not that person. I'm a night owl. I feel deeply without regulation or a filter. I'm much more of a regular Joe than a person with insight to share. If I were to sum myself up in one word, I would pick the word flawed.
So why blog?
I've given myself a 30 day challenge. I'm challenging myself to be better and reconnect with my faith. I've picked a handful of goals and plan on checking in. My intentions for this blog are not long term, but I hope to make something beautiful in the next 30 days.
Goal #1- Be positive. This is no easy feat for me! I have a bad habit of negativity. I know in my head the value of speaking life, but it isn't what comes out of my mouth.
Goal #2- Take care of me. I tend to put this off and deal with it in ways that aren't the most productive or beneficial and I want to change that.
Goal #3- Be in the word everyday. Simple.
Goal #4- Regulate my feelings. Worry less. Enjoy more. Let the little things go. Handle the big things better.
It's hard to move forward when you know you have a long way to go. But I want to believe that there is value in the reaching. There's something beautiful in the attempt. There's something forgivable in the intention.
