Afternoons.

Posted on by Rachel

I watched as the leaves stilled and the sky turned a slow orange hue splashed with colors of fiery red and pink.

Mosquitoes began to bite my legs while Jewel sings in the background with the birds humming pretending to be back-up singers. I turned my attention to the sky, I have always loved looking at the clouds and sky.

There’s something magical about it. It exudes God’s power and serenity into a perfect picture. It reminds me constantly that He is big and I am small.

The world is huge and rich. Full of life and chances and joy and risks. Looking at the sky gives me courage because I am reminded that the wolves of my life are nothing compared to my God.

Someday, I will make a leap of faith.

Someday, my life will be meaningful.

Rest assured, though I make mistakes, the sky will always be there to give me peace.

A Daring Adventure or Nothing

Posted on by Rachel

Happy new month, lovelies!

I am so grateful that God has gifted us with another month to cherish. It’s exciting to think about what He has in store for us these coming days.

I love beginnings because it provides me with a clean slate. I am planning to incorporate journaling into my life again. I used to do this everyday when I was in college. Unfortunately, my dedication for this hobby got drained in the sink and so a downward spiral began for my thoughts.

Happiness oozes in me as I share with you that yesterday I started with my November Scripture Writing Plan and November Writing Prompts.

Goals

Here are some of the goals I have for this month.

  1. Buy a whole outfit.
  2. Eat at a restaurant I haven’t been to.
  3. Start a new Prayer Journal.
  4. Finish my book by 50%.
  5. Finish “The Four Million” by O. Henry,

With all my heart, I am hoping I can accomplish these 5 simple goals. As a person whose commitment gets lost faster than a bubble, this can be pretty hard for me. I will be needing the good Lord’s help for this. (tbh, I can’t do anything without Him)

I’m just full of excitement for this month! What about you? What are your goals for November? Share them on the comments below.

Truly,

Rachel

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.
