WOW! Jennifer from here, awarded me with this Integrity Award. My very first award in blogland! This brought a smile to my face. I have enjoyed getting to know many women during the last year. So many of them are encouraging and I love reading about how the Lord is using them in their ministries, their homes, with their children or grandchildren and at their jobs if they work outside the home. I wish I could meet every single one of you in person but.....someday, for those of us who are Believers, we will meet in Heaven!
Here are the 5 women I would like to pass this award on to:

Connie Marie from Living in Alaska
Connie is someone I recently "met". She lives in the state of Alaska and posts the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen. I have always enjoyed reading her devotional posts...they really make me think!

Susanne from Living to Tell the Story
Susanne always has very Biblically based posts and I enjoy reading them and "hearing" her thoughts on the Scriptures, her daily life, etc. She is dear to me although I have never met her in person, and she works with prek kids which of course is the kind of teaching I prefer!

Karen from Sower's Corner
Karen is a dear friend from my former church. We have been friends for many years now and our husbands are friends as well. One of her daughters is my oldest daughter's friend. Although we are attending different churches now, we have remained in touch and she always brings tidbits of wisdom about marriage, children, education into our conversations. She is a good role model for other mothers and wives and I have always learned alot from her.

Debbie from Press On
I just discovered this blog and lo and behold....she is my pastor's wife! Her posts are very thought-provoking and full of Scriptural truths. She has a huge role as pastor's wife of a large suburban church and my family feels very blessed by the Lord to know this couple and their 2 children and to be in the church where they are serving. They have servant's hearts and bring excellence in all that they do for the church family.

Amy from Laughing through the Tears
Amy always brings laughter to my lips! Her posts are funny and real! I love her honesty when she writes. She is also an encourager even in the midst of stress or "stuff". I have loved getting to know her!
