31 Days of Deep Love Diving

For the month of October, I'm joining the The Nester and a community of bloggers in a challenge to write on one topic for 31 days. And I'm diving headfirst into the deep pool of God's measureless love. Here's why:

• my dad is having heart surgery on October first and love is a matter of the heart -
• it's a month filled with birthdays, including mine which I have love-hate relationship with
• it's the month of my wedding anniversary and a family wedding and we are wedded to God in love
• the theme for my MOPS group this year is "Plunge: love like your life depends on it"
• I kinda think God's serious when He says love Him and love others as myself, so this is a personal challenge to learn what He means by these words
• God has a lot to say about love which might help out immensely on the 31 days of consecutive writing thing

Here's an overview of what's to come (which includes the theme song for the month). I'll be updating this page with the links to each day's post though October so if you miss a day or two, you can view everything in one place.
