All I want for my 30th Birthday {Personal}
This past year has been a year of growth for me in many facets. I'm now a married woman and I've grown in my Faith. This past year I have put Jesus at the center and decided that I want to make sure everything I'm doing is organic to me and glorifying God. This will start with myself, and becoming less scheduled and enjoying life as it comes at me. I'm using the extra time to reflect and realize where God really wants to use me. I will also be working towards a revamping of my blog to make sure that I'm doing less "fluff" and more things that are real to me and my family. Which are actually the posts that my readers seem to be reading the most, which is a huge compliment to me! Thank you! Don't worry, I will still be doing honest reviews and giveaways!
With that being said, I'm turning 30 on October 4th and when I sat back and thought on how I wanted to start this new decade of my life I knew I wanted to start with serving others. My heart, at the center, loves to help others in any way I can. I started an event on Facebook and invited close friends to do Random Acts of Kindness through the month on October with me. I've set a goal for myself to do 30 acts in the month of October. Some say they believe random acts shouldn't be posted and that's fine but from where I stand I think it's a beautiful thing to see others inspiring others to serve their community and that requires posting about it. I would love to invite my readers to join in on this movement with us! I'd love to hear what you and your family are doing to serve others! I've set up a hashtag that we can use on all social media platforms, #randomactsoctober (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc) I am really looking forward to this! A great calendar to inspire you with ideas is HERE.
With my birthday right around the corner, friends and family have begun asking, "What do you want for your birthday?" My usual answer would be a giftcard to Marshalls or Sephora. But this past couple of weeks I've had something heavy laying on my heart and I feel like God is calling me to help in any way I can. Brandon and I are a part of a wonderful Couples Bible Study Group and the couple that runs it is in the process of adopting and have began fundraising. Ever since I heard about their story I've been racking my brain with all kinds of ideas to help them fundraise. They're such a wonderful couple and I could really spend all day going on and on about how amazing they are and how they're great parents searching for their child(ren)! When I thought about what I wanted to tell people to get me for my birthday there was no other thing to say but to ask people to donate. So, if you're planning on getting me a gift I ask that you use the money towards a donation to their fundraising efforts. Whether it's $10 or $100, every little bit helps. If you would like to read their story, you can do so, HERE. If you'd like to donate in my birthday honor, you can do that, HERE.
"Give generously to them and do so without a grudging heart; then because of this the LORD your God will bless you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to." Deuteronomy 15:10
There is no doubt in my mind that this is going to be a great year, and an even better decade. I'm so excited for what God has planned for my family and I. Thanks for all your support!
