Day 31 {farewell chai date...}

To close out this 31 day blog challenge I am supposed to write this as if we are sitting at a coffee shop sipping coffee and having a nice chat. I, however, do not like coffee so we will be drinking chai. You from your house (or wherever you might be) and I from mine. 

I am most certain that you have learned things about me that you never knew before. There were plenty of things to learn over the course of 31 days. Out of all the things you learned and read though, I hope the main thing that stuck out to you was this...

{Jesus is the best thing that ever happened to me} 

It's really all about Him and what He is doing. I hope you see that point running through every post I write on this blog. Like my blog title states I, the adventurer, am truly blessed. 

James 1:17 KJV

[17] Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

{God is so good}

I enjoyed this blog challenge, though some posts were hard...like the post {10 things I like about myself} or {personality types}. I would definitely consider doing another blog challenge again, perhaps in the very near future. 

I must thank my sisters {mrs.} and {yella rose}. It was definitely nice to have people to do this with and also have people to converse back and forth about each post. You guys are the greatest...not just blogging partners, but the most amazing sisters. I'm so blessed. 

My least favorite post was {10 things I like about myself}. One of my favorite posts was {17 things I'm thankful for}...though there were many others. 

I hope you have enjoyed taking a glimpse into my life everyday. For all of you who corrected me on my {small} errors, I express my gratitude. 

I must be running along. I have an appointment and other things to do. Please come back often!!! 

{farewell}, 

Erin

Day 30 {one thing I could never tire of...}

If I would even start to make a list of things I could never tire of, we would be here all day, so I have picked one.

I could never  tire of 

||adventuring|| 

Whether heading to...

{the lone star state} 

{the majestic peaks of Colorado} 

{a foreign mission field} 

{a church activity} 

{the hills of the south} 

{or a place I've never been before} 

I may get tired while adventuring, but never will I be tired of adventuring. 

{Photo Shoot}

I had a photo shoot on Saturday...

it was perfect weather,

and this family is so photogenic...all 7 of them!! 

{family shots}

{kids all together} 

{the love birds} 

{the kids single shots}

Day 29 {blogging resources and beginning tips}

I don't really have "blogging resources", the only place that I normally go to for blog stuff is Shabby Blogs...they have free backgrounds, buttons, etc. A lot of my blogging inspiration just comes from reading other peoples blogs. 

Some tips for new bloggers: 

{be creative} 

{don't feel obligated to post} 

{let people know about you, but not all your personal information} 

Day 28 {highs and lows}

|LOWS|

{being apart from family} 

{spiritual failures} 

{failing to give my best} 

|HIGHS| 

{celebrating 11 years of salvation} 

{teaching junior church all month} 

{babysitting church kids every Monday night} 

{fall}
