Welcome to 31 Days of Simply Loved! I’m so happy that you are here! Once again, I am accepting the challenge to write something in this space every day for the entire month of October. I have done this a few times now, but it still seems a bit daunting. It wouldn’t really be a challenge if it was easy, right? I am excited to see what this month has in store.

I chose the topic for this series back in early August. I was on my way home from a day trip with my husband and oldest daughter. We had just visited a beautiful camp in Cascade, Idaho that we were hoping to secure as a location for our next Kids Camp event. It was a perfect day. Bright blue sky, warm sunshine, and gorgeous views for the entire trip. As I was looking out the car window and taking it all in, these words came in to my mind, “You are loved.” I immediately thought, “Why, yes I am. What a perfect day I have been given to enjoy!” As we continued on down the road, I heard the Holy Spirit whisper again, “You are loved. Deeply, passionately, unconditionally loved every minute of every day.” As I began to meditate on these words, I considered whether or not I actually believed that I was loved. What would my life look like if I lived every day resting in the knowledge that I am truly loved?

I decided right then that this would be my 31 Days topic. Over the course of the next month I will be sharing with you some of my thoughts on living life simply loved. Each week will begin with a Sunday scripture. The rest of the days will reveal some essential areas of focus and application for your life.

I hope you’ll join me on this journey of living life simply loved!
