I’m joining The Nester<\/a> and a lot off others <\/a>in the 31 Day Writing Challenge. We pick a topic and write a post on that every day in October!<\/p>\n

My topic:\"morelikemyfather\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Living is learning and living is growing. Being a child of God is that, as well. I’m glad I keep on changing and learning and growing, because I do not want to stay where I am at.<\/p>\n

I used to think I had to do it the same way as others. If I looked up to a specific someone, I felt like I was not a good Christian if I did not do it that way.<\/p>\n

But I’ve found that since everybody is unique, everybody’s story is unique. During this 31 day series (joining up with thenester.com for the 31 day writing challenge. Check out the others here), I want to share my story. I want to share how I’m changing and growing as a child of God, and what it looks like in my life to be becoming more like Him. I’ve asked some friends to come visit here and share their stories as well! (They said yes!! \ud83d\ude42 )<\/p>\n

Will you come join us on this 31 day journey to grow more and more like our Father? We’ll hear how different people came to know God. People who grew up in Christian homes, people who didn’t. How does Jesus change our lives? In the daily grind, in the exciting times? How can we live our life for Him? It’s different for everybody, and I’m so excited to hear some stories!<\/p>\n

I’ve made a new page<\/a> for the series, as well as a button on the sidebar. Go to the page More Like My Father to read more about the series and see the links to the posts. This page will be updated each day and hopefully there will be links to 31 posts at the end of October!<\/p>\n

Tomorrow will be the first guest post, by Richard and Maartje Mommaerts. They are two very dear people who I’ve known since I was about 8. Their story has tragedy and sorrow, but ultimately, it leads to a place of comfort and safety in Christ.<\/p>\n

This post is part of my 31 days series ‘More like My Father’.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

The series has stories?in which people of all kinds of backgrounds share how they got to know the Lord, and how He can change our life.?<\/em><\/p>\n
