Blog Challenge

Like I said in my first challenge entry, I would quit the 30-days when I felt like the challenge was becoming a bit too "this girl" centered.  I kind of feel like this is happening so I am going to be stopping for a little while - at least.  I want this blog to be encouraging, uplifting, and inspiring.  Also, I want my life to be centered on Christ alone, I want Him to be my everything and my passion in life.  I have enjoyed creating every post and will continue to write, but I want to prioritize my passions.  Although I do enjoy lots of things that this earth provides (decorating, photography, traveling, blogging, writing, cooking, etc...) everything here is really rubbish in comparison to the treasure I have in heaven.  Amen?  


Philippians 3:7-16 
7 But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. 8 Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; 10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, 11 if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
 12 Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. 13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you. 16 Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule,[b] let us be of the same mind.


Another point is that I am leary of posting too much personal information, (although I doubt many strangers read this blog) you just never know who reads what you write.  Most importantly know this: I thank you for reading, I will continue to write, and please continue to check back here and there.


Much Love,
Kendra
