I am encouraging you to take this 31 Day writing challenge.:) “Too overwhelming” you say? Thankfully my friend Kate has a brilliant solution. You can write each day in 5 minutes flat (like we do with Five Minute Fridays). Read the details here. What a great way to write daily, but in manageable bites.

There will probably be well over a thousand (or more) series to read via The Nester’s 31 Day site. We obviously don’t have time to follow them all, so I am here to help.:) I am honored to introduce you to some of the 31 Days series, written by some of my twitter friends. What a gift it would be to leave some “comment love” on their blogs today as they take a flying leap and share their hearts on screen.

Kate Motaung

31 Dreams from the Street
Amy Pederson

31 Days of Moments in Africa
Jen Daugherty
Jen used to live in a deep rural village in South Africa, serving with the United States Peace Corps. The Lord led her in that direction for two and a half years, and only recently has she started to understand why. Life in Africa was incredibly hard, but ultimately rewarding. And it’s one stepping stone in her journey of faith.

31 Days of Messy Faith (I will be guest posting for Jolene’s series-yeah!)

The Performance Trap (I will be guest posting for Kasey’s series too!)
Kasey Hanson
Does this title resonate with you like it does with me? Kasey will explore questions like…God, who are You and what do you think of me? God, what do you want me to do? God, how can I serve you? God, this is hard. Will I ever get this right?

31 Days of Finding Joy in the Journey
Julie Lefebure
Be intentional each day with finding joy in life and living it out. You’ll find short, daily posts filled with appreciation for the simple things, ways to cultivate joy, and how to share your joy with others.

Living Like I’m Dying
Meredith Bernard
We don’t know what month’s worth of days will be our last. If we did, would it change the way we lived them? Of course it would. Meredith’s hope is to do something each day that makes an impact on someone’s life and to get some things done that she’s been putting off.

The End of the Line: Quitting the Legacy of Control
Gina Detweiler
We all pass down a legacy. Usually the things we pass to our children are positive and wonderful. But sometimes, those things are not so pretty. Control is one of those things. We live it out, our daughters watch, and the cycle gets repeated. It’s time to put an end to this generational curse. We can walk in freedom, and not just for us but for our daughters.
