My 100th Post!

Wow, it's hard to believe. When I first start blogging I could not think of anything to write! Hmm, looks like I have not been lacking for "words". Hope you enjoy this fun post. No preaching I promise. I want to thank each and every one of you who have been so kind to stop by. I appreciate all the many encouraging words, you'll never know how much they mean to me. I feel so honored to get to know so many wonderful, talented women who are on FIRE for the Lord! Blessings to you my wonderful friends out there in blogland~
