And so it begins… the October writing challenge that overtakes your Facebook feed, possibly floods your email inbox, and pops up all over social media. Writers everywhere are taking part in this challenge to #write31days throughout the month of October. I am throwing my writing hat into the ring so to speak and I am humbly asking you to join me in this journey.
My year to this point has been filled with books, devotionals, scripture and quotes all revolving around brave. Over and over, this theme has reoccurred in my life. I am no expert on being brave and I am walking through each day trying to figure out what it all means, but it is only fitting that my 31 Days topic will be “My Journey to Brave Faith”.
There are no guarantees that I will have reached a full understanding of brave faith at the end of these 31 days and that I will be brave. The beauty is that God is leading me through this study of brave to teach me, show me and take the blinders off my eyes as to what brave means for me.
Each week I will look at an idea that will lead us through a deeper understanding of brave to help us all begin to form what brave looks like for each of us. Some of the ideas that will be covered are:
What is brave?
When brave is staying right where you are
When brave is saying yes, when you really want to say no
When brave looks like fear
When brave requires you to step out of the boat
There will be days that you will have a post to read and other days where a picture and a quote might be the idea for the day. I even have some guests to share their thoughts throughout the 31 days.
I am praying for all of us that choose this journey with God because when we match our steps with His, we become brave.
Thank you for joining me and looking forward to seeing you along the way.

Hi Mary! Congratulations on taking the writing challenge! I just don’t think I’d have enough to say, so I really admire your taking this on. You are brave in my book!
Blessings,

I am hoping that I have enough to say!!! I am glad to see you here today. I hope your time with your grand babies was wonderful. Happy almost weekend!
I look forward to seeing where your journey takes you, my friend!
Thank you and I am praying that God is with me throughout this whole process. So glad you stopped by.
Really looking forward to your series, Mary! You are one brave woman and I am inspired by you!
I believe those we choose to hang with make us brave too. You, my friend, are one of those people who motivate me to be brave. Thanks for joining me!
I wrote about bravery a couple of years ago for this challenge, and it was a very eye-opening experience. Definitely want to learn more and to cheer you on as you explore!
I am thinking that this month of writing will be quite the adventure. When we ask God fro bravery, I believe He is going to give us that and more. So glad to be on this journey with you.
Mary,
What a great topic! I am not so brave since I didn’t throw my hat in the ring for 31 days of writing, but I am cheering you on in this adventure of discovery that you are on. I look forward to see and hear what you have to post!! You go girl!!
Blessings,

Really writing for 31 days either makes me brave or stupid! I have been planning for this so I can share intelligible thoughts versus haphazard ones. I am so glad you are here and I love how God takes each of our lives and makes them brave for Him just by us saying “yes”, when He calls.
God, surely has a sense of humor. The last two Write 31 days posts I have read are about “being brave” and my one word just happens to be “brave” for 2015. Looking forward to journeying with you, friend!
Well, brave is not my word this year but I sometimes wonder if it should be. God loves getting us right where He wants us, doesn’t He? Thanks for joining me on the journey!
Joining you in your journey, Mary!
So glad you are her June! I am looking forward to having you along for the ride as well as learning from you in this journey.
I so look forward to this series Mary. I need to find my brave and boldly walk it out.
I am praying we both find our brave together friend! There is so much to learn but sometimes I think we just need to go out and grab it! Love you!
Mary, this was it for me right here > “…when we match our steps with His, we become brave.” Looking forward to this series. Blessings!
We need to walk in sync with God not only to be brave but to follow the call He has planned for us. So glad to see you here and I look forward to you stopping by again as well as visiting you over at your place.
Mary, I am rooting for you and your readers as we all discover our ‘brave’ while we lean closer on God and receive His reassurance in the month ahead. I’m looking forward to seeing where the journey takes you, my friend! Blessings. 🙂
Thank you for being here, Joy! I pray the journey teaches us all how to look to God to lead us and as we follow may we learn how to embrace the brave faith that He is equipping us for.

Bravely waiting with you as the clock ticks down these final minutes.
We’re ready, we’re set … let’s GO!

I am thrilled that we are on this writing journey together. Thank you for walking with me! I look forward to seeing all that God will reveal through this process.
Ok friend, I am waiting for your encouraging posts, friend.
God Bless
I needed to introduce the 31 day writing fun! Tomorrow will be more of what you can expect. I love that you stopped by.
