I’m so eager to spend time on my real-life porch, but we keep having doses of winter temperatures. If the sunshine stayed out and we were on my porch together, overlooking the pool we’re all eager to open, I would tell you all the compartments of my mind feel full. And, truthfully, I have a hard time compartmentalizing anything. Everything on my mind spills over and runs together.
This full mental capacity isn’t bad. God just has me in situations that have required a lot of mental energy to stay intentional with living faithfully. And He’s reminding me of the beauty and purpose of seasons.
With that said, I’m needing to change up things here at the #PorchStories linkup. For this season in my life, I’m going to host this gathering monthly instead of weekly. I’m going to go ahead and have the linkup today because I truly love reading your stories. I love seeing you all support one another and watch this community grow.
Then I’ll settle into hosting #PorchStories the last Wednesday of each month. I’ll likely share my usual monthly roundup posts, but you’re welcome to share about whatever is going on in your life, how you’re seeing God, or what you’re learning. I’ll remind you on social media in the days before the linkup, and I’d love for you to bring along a new friend.
I’m still going to write other posts here during the month, I just need to free up a little mental space for all the other things in my ordinary life requiring my attention and thoughts. I also have other ideas and project I’d like to pursue and share with you. In the meantime, be sure to subscribe to my emails and follow me on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.

Missing the weekly visit on the porch will just make us all REALLY appreciate the monthly gathering. Thanks for all you do, Kristin, and blessings to you as you make room in your life for all the many demands and challenges of this season.
I appreciate your perspective and encouragement. xo
I’ll miss being here each week but it will be exciting to see what God has for you and your family in the days ahead. Seasons change and it is always for our best and good to follow where He leads. Blessings!
Thank you for always cheering me on. xo
I’ll miss the weekly visits but look forward to the monthly ones. I understand the need to restructure in order to refocus. I’m praying about the same in my own life.
Thanks for understanding. xo
I think it is very wise of you to identify the need to “slow” a bit and focus a bit more on other things. Smart girl. So, we will find the linkup on March 27th? xoxo
Thank you, friend! Yes, March 27 for the linkup, although I think I’ll have some review posts coming between now and then. 🙂
Praying for you as you shift your focus! laurensparks.net
Thank you, friend. xo
Once a month is plenty. I think we all need to be wise and remember to take time to slow down and free up some mental space for other things. At least I know I do!
I’m glad I’m not the only one and to have friends online who understand. Hope you’re finally getting a break from all that snow!
good for you for listening and obeying. please link on wed if you can, and I’ll see you there and here once a month. sue
Thank you, Sue! xo
