Thirty-one days. I did it, I wrote for thirty one days consecutively
on one topic. I didn’t think I could do it; in fact I almost didn’t because I
didn’t want to commit to something and fail. But it just kept tugging at my
heart, the topic came, and I just knew I had to take a step of faith and make
the commitment to write. I am so glad I did.

 

I have learned so much the past thirty one days. Let’s start
with the obvious why don’t we?

 

I learned a lot about grace. I learned that I will never
fully understand grace. I will barely just scrape the surface of discovering
what grace is. Grace in itself is one word, one concept, with so many
attributes. All of grace is wrapped up in the being of grace Himself just adding
to the mystery of its greatness. Grace is powerful and without it, Christianity
wouldn’t be what it is today.

 

I wrote down words that came to mind when I thought of grace
and I assigned them to every day of the month. What did grace mean to me? What
did grace open up for me? What was grace? Then every day I would sit down and
look at that word and write. Some days were hard. Inspiration was harder to
flow, and harder to put into writing. Some days I could sit down and knock out
an entire week’s worth of posts. It was a great challenge. It created a growing
passion in me for blogging, if I wasn’t already excited about it enough!

 

In addition to learning so much about grace, I learned so
much about blogging. I learned how to balance blogging with all my other
responsibilities in life. I learned how planning what I am going to write makes
my posts that much greater. I learned that scheduling posts is my friend. I
truly believe blogging for thirty one consecutive days helped me grow as a
blogger, helped me learn things I don’t think I otherwise would have learned.

 

Lastly, I learned that I could
do it. I could write for a consecutive
thirty one days on one topic. I immediately thought I would fail, but when God
places something on our hearts to do He’s not going to let us fail. As long as
we put our trust in Him, and depend on Him to help us move forward, His grace
will get us through.

 

I hope and pray that these thirty one posts on grace
encouraged you. I hope and pray they opened your eyes up to grace and helped
you see grace in ways you never did before. If it did touch you, I would love
for you to comment below and share with me how. Thank you for reading and
supporting me on this challenge, I hope you will continue to join me in this
little old space and we can discover life together!
