A DAY OF PRAISE!!!!!
I was given my very first blog award this past week by 3 different girls that I love with my whole heart! I was so honored that I want to share with you why I love them so much!!!!!!!
Girls, thank you for thinking of me! It means the world to me!!!!!
Julie-
Julie is one of those girls that when she speaks....people listen. I love how she really pays attention to what she shares with us. That not everything the Lord is telling her or showing her makes it to the blog. I love this about her. Her relationship with the Lord is very personal and very intimate. I can tell all this from reading her words. I am a total open book and have to stop myself sometimes from telling it all! I feel like when Julie shares her heart.....it becomes an honor for me to be able to sneak a peak at how God talks to her! Julie- I love you! I love how you are so honest with your journey of faith and how you are warrioring in prayer along side me! Thank you for my award!
Jenna-
I call her my LIGHT!!!!!!!!! I chose this picture again because I think it really captures her inner and outer beauty! I love to laugh! Simple as that! I laugh all the time and I never hold it back! Jenna continues to make me laugh on a daily basis! She is such a light, shining bright to everyone! Jenna is also in the middle of a major waiting period with job and future! She and I are just going through this time together! Trying to keep our cool and really trust!!!!! Jenna, I love how you are such an encourager! I love that you find humor even in the crazy times. I thank you for your moments of honesty with me! I treasure our emails friend! I love you dearly! Thank you for my award.Kelly-
Oh where do I start! Kelly sums up our friendship with 2 great words..."SOUL SISTERS" and I just have to amen that! Kelly is my friend but also a big sister to me! From the first time we started emailing each other there has just been a bond! The only way I can describe our relationship is with the verse in Titus 2.........."Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God".
Every emotional craziness I have gone through..........she has been there too. Moments when I desire to no longer be single.....she knows that one all too well. She guides with truth. She prays over me with scripture, she checks in on me, she encourages me in my walk, and most of all I love that God has placed someone in my path that has gone through exactly what I am going through! She does not hold back love and she always listens! Kelly- I love you friend! I love that God is so beautiful through you! This friendship has been the result of a divine appointment and in the process you have continued to help me increase my faith! Thank you for my award!

Faith, Faith, Faith..................girl you are so important to me!!!! I think that your name fits you just right! You and Julie remind me so much of each other. I am so draw to you and to her because of your deep faith. I feel like you "get" me! Or that we have the same desires to spend a lot of time with Father! I also know that without living in your house or knowing you in person.....that you are faithful in the walk with God! I know it, I can feel it!!!!!! I love that you speak what the Lord is teaching you! His words come out so clearly in you! But most importantly, you speak scripture to me in all things!!!!!! You are a constant reminder that I must have His word written on my heart! I love you friend!*****************************************
These are just some of the ladies that I am thankful for. There are like 5 more of you that I will honor soon.......i don't what to overwhelm everyone with this massive post! Anyway, I praise God for you blog girls and I will say it till the day I die...."I AM IN LOVE WITH THE BODY OF CHRIST". There is nothing like it! I also want to Praise God for just putting up with me! I am not easy to love, you know! Yet he continues to pursue me and I am blown away by that kind of LOVE!
Now, I really want to hear some praises from you!!!!!!
I MEAN IT!!!!!!
TELL ME SOMETHING WE CAN ALL PRAISE GOD FOR AND JUST LEAVE IT IN THE COMMENTS FOR ALL TO READ!!!!!!!!!
...........if we do not Praise Him then even the rocks will cry out!
