Know and Tell Friday…

To Know Him wanted me to answer a few questions….so here it is ;) Have a great weekend.

1.What scares you? Ummm spiders, driving in heavy traffic,

2. Coke or Pepsi (Diet counts)? Neither, in fact I have not drank soda for a couple of weeks. This is a big for me. Umm Cranberry juice (that is what I am sipping right now).

3. I would love to try… Hmm (thinking here) Feed the hungry and grant world peace (Oh wait that is my Mrs America speech… sorry). Write a book.

4. Spiritually speaking, do you have a Quiet Time? If so, where, when, and how long have you had one? If not, what is stopping you from having a Quiet time? (Quiet time is defined as time alone with God. It can consist of praying, reading God’s word, and worship among many other things) For years this has been a battle for me, but now I get up at 6am Mon thru Fri for quiet time, before the hustle and bustle of the day. Before it was at my kitchen table, now it is sitting on my couch beside my Christmas tree.

I love your blog and you make me smile….

Laurel Wreath encourages women to walk with the Lord. I enjoy reading her perspective and am always encouraged.

To be honest I could not have a higher compliment that I help encourage women with their walk with the Lord. That is my passion. Thank you Lizzie.

Let’s see I will pass it along to (and goodness knows I should just point you to my blogroll I have under People Who Inspire Me) but I won’t torture you like that so:

Molly at Molly-Coddled is someone who blesses me nonstop. I love the big heart she has, the love of her family and her love of FOOD. (who does not need to respond to the meme, just wanted to let you know you bless me girl!)

Nicole at A Gauntlet with a gift in it there are a few people who I feel a “God connection” with, some of them I may not meet in person this side of heaven, but I have to say with Nicole from day one it has been that kind of connection. I would tell you more but you are going to have to come by next week as I talk more about her, and I will have a free gift (there is your teaser =))

Terri at In His Hands has been such a blessing to me. And this is one girl I PLAN to meet this side of heaven one way or another =) How do I even put into words how you have touched my heart in many different ways. Even if you do have a racecar kitchen =)))

*********************************************************************************

OK (the people all above make me smile but in an effort to tell more people how they bless me I will give this award to three others).

Terri at In His Hands said:

Laurel called our rental house kitchen the “racetrack kitchen” and every time I think of that I laugh my head off. She is very thoughtful and quick with the cards. LOL She always finds the perfect e-card to send at the perfect time and she makes me smile.

Angie at The Knightly News is someone who blesses me with her words and her heart, with every comment, email, etc… This is a girl who has picked me up when I was down. And whenever I chat with her she always makes me smile.

How could I talk about smiling without mentioning Deedra at Nspired By Faith, this girl cracks me up and always makes me smile. Girl I am praying for two just so you know =)))

Lynn at Spiritually Unequal Marriage has such a gift with words. She always uplifts you, encourages you and is a faithful prayer buddy.

And you guys know I probably would not still be blogging if it were not for Iris at Sting My Heart, she is my rock and keeps me sane =) Enjoy your break next week. And she is probably going to kill me that I gave her this award….

There are so many more that make me smile and who I love their blogs, that is why I sometimes cringe when I receive these awards. I am so blessed by everyone that visits me here, and when I visit you. Your time is valuable but yet you chose to spend some of it with me. Thank you.
