Wow

I'm so surprised!

I've received a blog award from Meredith Ivy:



"Brillante Weblog;" sounds pretty cool, huh? Thank you, Meredith Ivy. You've encouraged me to keep trying to be a light for my Saviour in my tiny little corner of the web. Sometimes I wonder if I'm reaching any young ladies at all, but then one of you will drop a comment that simply makes my day, lets me know someone - at least - is being blessed, and gives me so much more back than I've given out.

I think the best part of all this is that I get to pass it on! I believe the rules are that I can give this award to seven other blogging friends.

So, I'd like to give this "Brillante Weblog" award to the following:

~ To Crystal, at Biblical Womanhood, for introducing me to blogs and blogging, and for being an encouragement to me in so many ways that she doesn't even know about.

~ To Sarah, at As Lilies Sewing, for blessing my soul with her posts, and for being so kind as to comment on here very often. :)

~ To Tammy, at Tammy's Recipes, for doing such a good job at upkeeping her blog consistently, for being real, and for recipes that work EVERY time! :)

~ To Bethany, at Bethany's Blog, for doing such a good job at tying together marvelous photography, words of wisdom, and spiritual encouragement.

~ To Ms. Nina, at Portugal Bound, for taking the time, as a busy missionary wife and mother, to let the rest of us know what it's really like to be serving the Lord in another country.

~ To my sister, Heather, at I Peter 5:7, for a heart that longs to reach others for Christ.

~ And to Kim at Life in a Shoe, because of her tongue-in-cheek style of writing that reminds me that all written work should contain a drop of humor.

I believe I can't pass the award backwards, Meredith, or I'd include you. :) Thanks once again!
