Things are Changing // Quick Blog Update

Hey peeps! I hope your August has been fabulous and you are enjoying the season of life you are in! I just wanted to write a post to keep y'all informed and to let you guys know of some changes I'm needing to make to Showers of Blessings. 

I'll just cut to the chase: 

My life has been busy. And I'm not just saying that. Truly. I've been feeling really overwhelmed with everything on my plate. So, I need to start posting once a week. Posting twice a week is great, but it's just not realistic at this time in my life (more on that in a sec) so I think it would be wise if I cut back on the quantity of posts and just focus on the quality. I plan on continuing to post every Wednesday. I also might be less active commenting on other blogs. I don't want to take a blog hiatus, but I definitely need to lighten my load. Thanks for understanding! 

Blog posts in the future will be related to life happenings, devotionals, and poems. I hope to continue to do some bookish posts and fun tags, but I'm not going to promise anything. I absolutely still want to post things that interest my readers, so if you have any post ideas/requests, then shout them out in the comments and I will see what I can do! 

Now, for the main reason of this change:

I am a college student!!

I never thought I'd say that. I never thought I'd do college because it was never fitting into my plans. But obviously God had other plans and I'm stoked! I'm nervous and excited. But I'm mostly feeling blessed for this opportunity. I'm going to Liberty College Online. I'm getting a Bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design with some classes (maybe getting a minor) in Creative Writing. 

I started classes on the 24th, and I'm really excited for this next chapter (four years!) Prayers would be appreciated. This was unexpected and it's all very new to me. But it's really been a God thing, and I'm excited for this opened door and for my next step, because it's a lot clearer than it was two years ago when I first graduated high school. 

I hope to write a post that goes more into detail about this big life decision (and my journey up unto this point) but until then, just know that since things are changing really fast, I'll need to make blogging less of a priority. It's still a priority in my life, but I only have so much time in a day. I love sharing posts with my readers and interacting with you girls in the comments. But, I'm learning that I can't do things with the best of my ability if I stretch myself so thin. Hopefully, by cutting back, I'll be able to keep Showers of Blessings active without it becoming too time consuming. Starting from now on, only posting on Wednesdays.

Many Blessings,
