SERVE has been in the rearview mirror for a little less than a week now but I hope for most of you that you haven't already forgotten what you've learned, what you accomplished, and how you grew. We also hope that you plan on joining us for the next 31 days as we go through the "Fresh Start" devotional together. Many of you have probably already thumbed through it and made judgements one way or another about whether you think it's for you or whether you're going to jump in. I hope you'll give it a shot and I'm even raising the bar a bit. I believe that August is one of the best months to dedicate to personal growth. School is approaching but not here yet, lots of summer adventures are over, and August still has free time to spare to dedicate to doing something new. I took a long grueling hike this morning up one of Vermont's most iconic peaks "Camel's Hump". As I was hiking I decided that not only am I in for a month of the fresh start devotional but I'm also in to document 31 Days of Adventure (#31DaysOfAdventures). Maybe adventure doesn't speak to you but maybe one of these hash tags will suit you better.

We'd love to have you document your progress. We'll be posting here about our reflections on the Fresh Start stuff but it'd be awesome if you commented and interacted as we go along. They say it only takes 21 days to make something a habit - 31 goes the extra mile and what a better month to do it in to keep you in forward motion with your faith before the chaos hits in September.
Be on the lookout for our first post later today and follow me on Instagram or Facebook to keep an eye on my #31DaysOfAdventures too :)
#31DaysofOnlyGodsWord - my challenge is to only read the bible, my Fresh Start book, and any other God related book this month. I will post about what I have read/learned on Facebook each night! I will have to make an exception for my AP English book but that's not a fun book to read so it's okay.
