*** Ada Victoria has won the giveaway. Congrats! ***
Today I am saying goodbye.
I have enjoyed writing for The Feminine Intellect, but during the last few weeks, I have been forced to rethink my purpose for the blog and where I see it going in the next year. Truthfully, this place isn’t going anywhere, and my heart has just not been in writing for it – I now find this blog more of a chore, rather than an outlet for my thoughts.
I love blogging so much. I love the community, I love interacting with all of you on social media, and I love all the elements of writing and posting online. But I’m not able to do this adequately or successfully through The Feminine Intellect. With that in mind, I may pop up somewhere else on the web, someplace more me, and someplace where blogging brings me joy instead of headaches.
I do not make this decision lightly, and multiple reasons have played into the end result. If you are truly interested in all the gory details…..email me.
I still have one more book review commitment coming late February, but as of today, this is my last post.
In honor of your reading freedom though, I am hosting a Dayspring giveaway! This gift set was sent to me by Dayspring, for their February (in)spired deals promotion, and I just love the colors. But then again, I love just about any product by Dayspring!
Set includes Journal, Mug, Memo Pad (not shown here), and Gift Bag
Dayspring will be giving one of my readers a $20 gift certificate, so you can snag one set for yourself, or you can browse their website and find another product you might like. These Mr. and Mrs. mugs are to die for!
All you have to do is leave a comment on this blog post – it’s that simple. Then, on Monday, February 20th, I will announce the winner via Facebook, as well as update the post here.
Thank you all for your loyal readership. I will be posting any future announcements of my endeavors through Twitter. If you don’t have a Twitter account, now’s your chance to sign-up. It’s a great way to quickly keep in touch with those who share your interests!
Have a blessed Spring!
Disclosure of material connection: This is a “sponsored post.” The company who sponsored it compensated me via a cash payment, gift, or something else of value to write it. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will benefit my readers.
to The Feminine Intellect, your connection between the Bible and the real world. 
I’m sad to hear that you’re stopping. I’ll miss your posts. Thanks for one last giveaway.
Thank you for reading!
I appreciate your honesty. May God bless you and guide you in your future endeavors. Seek Jesus first. Everything else will fall into place.

Ok, I think I recovered now. I will miss your blog, and hope you will return to contribute to the blogosphere in the not too distant future. (oh, and don’t put my name in for the giveaway…shipping could be a hassle)

I have only been following you since that allume tweet chat but have enjoyed all your post and will definitely keep up with you on twitter… God Bless, it’s always a blessing to meet other women of faith who truly love God and inspire.
Thank you, Ada, for such kind words! We will definitely continue to be friends on Twitter.
I’m so sorry to hear that you are leaving.
However, I totally understand! When your heart just isn’t in it anymore, that means God has something else in store for you! Thank you for your confidence in me. You were the first person to give me the opportunity to guest post. I will always be grateful!
May God bless you as you let Him lead you into this new chapter!!
