My First Award!

Robin at Heart at Home has awarded me with the Excellent Blog Award! I'm just so humbled and so blessed to have been chosen. Being new to this blogoshpere world, I'm am truly honored.

I was really hesitate to dive in and start blogging. Now it's become such a source of joy and actually a great passion of mine. The Lord has used so many of the wonderful and gifted writers I have met to speak directly into my own life. I feel as though I personally know many of you already! Again, thanks Robin so much for this nomination. I'm so grateful.

Mother Teresa once said: "We are all pencils in the hand of a writing God, who is sending love letters to the world." The word instructs us to minister and encourage each other daily. Now in accordance to the rules of this award I will pass it on to 10 more people who's blog's have blessed, inspired and encouraged me greatly. (These are in no special order!) Here are the instructions I received:

One of the most wonderful things about knowing God is that there's always so much more to know, so much more to discover. Just when we least expect it, He intrudes into our neat and tidy notions about who He is and how He works. Joni Eareckson Tada

Thank you all for being used by God to teach me more about Him daily!
