Autumn Update

As autumn rolls in and the holidays near, I understand that schedules (including mine) get busy with school and sporting events, family gatherings, outreach ministries and so much more. It's also a season where bloggers take breaks and readers read less. 

Knowing such, I am choosing to back down my posts for the months of October through December. Rather than work on new posts for these few months, I am going to do a few different things.

1. On Mondays, I will take a scripture God has brought to the forefront and use it in a devotion format to encourage us at the beginning of the week.
2. On Wednesdays, I would like to get to know you better. You, my readers, are important to me. I'm thrilled to see some new faces and hear some new voices leaving comments. Thank you for joining us! I will post a brief "Getting to Know You" post in which I will tell you a little bit about me. I would then love it if you would share your thoughts about you. Hopefully, this will be a lot of fun!
3. On Fridays, I will share a photograph I've taken or a graphic I've created. I hope these will inspire and encourage you, as well. They may or may not be attached to a brief post.
4. I will still continue posting book reviews on Thursdays. I have a lot of books I'm loving reading and/or promoting and will continue to share these finds with you. Please watch for posts concerning Mary DeMuth's October 16th release Everything. I will most likely continue blogging through this book and share the review with you on the 16th. I am hosting a blog tour for the release on October 30th. Please stop by and leave some comment love for Mary. She's an amazing woman of God.
5. Please be sure to visit my website, Inspire a Fire, for more encouragement to ignite that flame for God in your spheres of influence.

Thank you so much for joining me on this journey we call life. I appreciate you and hope my words continue to reflect God's heart and bring encouragement to your hearts. 

Busy Seasons in Life

May nears and my life books up. Literally. I've got chapters to write, chapters to edit, articles to develop, business supplies to round up, other people's works to edit, email to check, Tweets and posts to schedule (and that's just the business/work side of life).

In this busy season, I don't wish to neglect my blog or you, my readers. In hopes that I don't miss a post (or a week of them), I decided to share some of the most visited posts I've written in the past couple of years. Hence, the titles "Revisiting". I pray you find continued encouragement, something new and fresh. If you've read them before and enjoyed them, feel free to pass them on to a friend. If you haven't commented, please do. I love to know your thoughts and insights, as well!

If your life is as busy as mine, I pray God supplies the rest and nourishment you need both physically and spiritually. If it's a slower season for you, may you find peace in this time and may God prepare you for the next busy season to come. Either way, enjoy it!

I'll start posting new thoughts again toward the end of May. Until then, keep a watch out. I may add a Tuesday or Thursday post here and there as inspiration strikes (and time stands still for a moment or two). I also have a couple of book reviews coming soon...
