October is one of my busiest blogging months as I take on the Write 31 Days Challenge. Last year, during October, I introduced you to 31 lovely Christian women bloggers. Be sure to check out my landing page for this series: 31 Days of Christian Women Bloggers Whom Change Lives and Glorify Jesus.
This year, I have accepted Kate Motaung’s 4th annual 31 Days of Five Minute Free Writes.
Steps in participating in writing challenges take time. I completed my introduction page, Free Writing in October, just in time. Now, I have to link up to the #FMF page and the Write 31 Days page.
Are you working on either blogging challenge this month. Please share your introduction pages and link up all your posts for the week. I hope the #LMMLinkup community will join us in supporting others as they strive to meet this month’s challenges.
Also, we will wave the three-blog-post limit in October.
Thanks for your support.

Now let’s

Last Week’s Top Clicked Post!
My Favorite Post of the Week

Be the Change & Tune In Thursday #30 Guest: Roseann Hampton
This past three months’ challenges worn my out. My life seems so hard at times, but we can overcome by looking for ways to help others and to grow closer to Christ.
Roseann’s post really hit home for me. I love this quote that she shared:
“To the world you may be one person; but to one person you may be the world.” unknown
I really encourage you to read more of her post. It will uplift you and help you refocus your energies for the new week.
Now, it is time to link up to the Literacy Musing Mondays hop!

Linkup Rules:
- Include a link back or the blog hop button linked to this hop on your posts.
- Link up the urls to your posts not to your blog.
- Please remember this is a family-friendly linkup. Although we believe in the right for adults to read whatever they want to read, we prefer to read wholesome posts that feature literature that edify and uplift families. We reserve the right to delete any posts that are not family friendly. We love all kinds of literature and genres including family-friendly inspirational romances, fantasy, or science fiction. We do not welcome any posts that feature excessive violence, sexual content, or any cursing. This rule also applies to book review posts that feature books that are not family-friendly. These posts will be deleted without notice to the blogger or explanation. While we believe in the right for all adults to read whatever they want, we feel our linkup is for family-friendly posts only. Thank you for understanding.
- We also want to be loving community by supporting one another. Please make a point to do this this week! Visit the two posts before yours and at least one other blogger’s post of your choice! I want to see lots of clicks on everyone’s posts. Remember it is also nice to follow them on their social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook.
- Follow your hosts and co-hosts on their social media.
- Tweet about the link up too.
Be sure to check out my Linkup Parties page for great blog hops that I join each week.


Thank you everyone for your continued support. I enjoyed reading your comments today.

I’m always amazed at bloggers who accept the 31 Day blogging challenge in October. I’ve never done and and feel like I’d need to take a 31 day vacation afterwards just to recover! ha! But more power to you and the rest of these fine bloggers! Thanks for hosting the linkup, Mary and friends!

Thank you so much for choosing Roseann’s post from by Tune In Thursday guest blogs! And thanks for sharing the 31 Days of Five Minute Free Writes with us!
Awe. Thanks for the kind words Mary. I love your Monday Link Ups :0)
October does get busy when you add #write31days. But I love the discipline of writing and the opportunity to read so many new authors. Praying you feel God’s love as you work this month.
I hope your October gets off to a great start!

I enjoyed participating in #Write31Days before but just had nothing on my heart to write about this year. Plus we’ve come off of a very busy time with surgery and family visits, so I felt I needed October as a restful spot between that and the holidays this year. But I’ll enjoy seeing what others are up to as I am able.

I love the memory of participating in your last year’s 31 Day challenge! (Was that REALLY a whole year ago???)
Looking forward to this year’s offerings!
