Half Way!!!! Week 7 Update - Walking By Faith Choosing Courage

I cannot believe it!!! Yesterday marked 50 days blogging in a row. I am officially half way done with this challenge and the funny thing is I feel like I am only just getting started…and that is great!

#31days2021-The Power of Your Influence

Many of you know that I planned on doing this from the beginning of the 100 days and when I started on Friday I had a plan. Don’t worry I still do! But I hit a snag. It was with my Patience Post which will go live tomorrow. I had made a big mistake and I found it….as I thought I was wrapping it up.

I was frustrated and discouraged. And I will be honest, I wasn’t at all being patient with myself- How fitting right! I set it aside and continued on my journey. And this morning as I was proof reading and fixing it I realized two things

First it wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be.
I saw a major amount of growth within myself. Once upon a time I would have done whole bunch of negative self talk. I would have just saved that sucker as a draft never to revisit it again- (can I just say that I deleted over 30 such posts about 3 weeks ago) AND I would have avoided blogging altogether because those types of things made me think I was just posing as a blogger (AKA I suffer from spotter syndrome)

The amount of growth that I saw this morning as I plugged through the mistake- a mistake that I made a complete mountain out of two days ago- I worked through and didn’t give up on it. THAT”S HUGE PROGRESS!

The FAM

The older two kids are about half way through their soccer season and they are both enjoying playing with their teams.

The older two and Hubby returned from their hiking trip in the Adirondaks yesterday. They had a great time.

Hubby starts an internship today with our church we have been attending and the search process continues with a get to know you interview tomorrow night.

The Younger two are plugging away at school and all of their adventures.

As I look over the last month or two we have all been on a journey of being stretched. Many are in ways that we have never been stretched before. And That is great. That means as a family we are on a learning journey. We want to do new things and explore new areas of ourselves personally and grow.

Reading

As I grow on my reading Journey I have learned something about my reading goals- As much as I like to finish books every month I have to let go of some of that because the reality is when you have to read a bunch of books at the same time , they might now all get read in one month. So this month I am in line to finish 6 books.

We will finish another morning basket book today or tomorrow (Corrie ten Boom) and I have already finished S.H.A.P.E.

Blogging (in General)

I have been staying ahead. I have been able to blog every single morning since changing my routine and that has been amazing. I know I am setting up habits for the future and that is a huge encouragement!

I am also beginning to see a blogging routine formulate in my brain for after the 100 days challenge is over! It will look different and I am contemplating letting somethings go. It’s funny because once you have a distinct purpose in something it forces you to evaluate what you do through the lens of that purpose.

Your Turn!
