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.
What, I’m not on the list!!!??
Just kidding. Those are such wonderful women. You make so many women happy!
Laurel…I am sitting here dumbstruck! Yes…speeeeechchchcleesssss!
I have been working on a new blog for the youth of our church—my butt is numb…my hands are swelling….and I am in dire need of a diet coke! But it will keep this crazy 45 year old hormonal woman up!!! And I can’t believe what you just did! You amaze me.
It is to you I run when I need to hear a word from HIM. You fill my day with wisdom from your heart. You have given me insight in to “ME”….yup! I am following after Christ harder than ever. Because of your passion for telling others.
So—take that! I love you girl! Thank you for the honor of making you smile….and maybe laugh a bit too—-trust me…if you saw me tonight—you’d laugh out loud!!!
Congrats on both awards! You are definately deserving… of both!
You deserve those awards and I have to agree with Lizzie that you are an encouragement to many.
Oh and for my award – you are so sweet, Laurel. Thank you, thank you, thank you, my dear friend!
Awwww! Thank you! Thank you!
We are going to meet one way or the other!
Love you, girlfriend and love your blog!
Congratulations, LW. And you chose some really great women to forward these awards to.
Hi Laurel; I just read your testimony on CWO and Isn’t the Lord Wonderful; the way He uses our weaknesses to strengthen others! I know there are no coincidences in God’s Plan; and I am going through an amazing “stepping out in Faith” situation. For the first time in my 53 yrs I have no income, no permanent home; no people to call on. I have El Shadai, who is more than enough! I have been praying for a financial miracle, as according to Deut. 28: He shall open the Heavens; His own storehouse and send down rain in due season… the Holy Spirit showed me that
that means miracles to us; not necessarily (unless you are dieing of dehydration) water….and He sends us miracles when they are needed! I have recieved many physical healings; I even got to go to Heaven a few years back; but I have never ever experienced a financial miracle… where there is no other way to explain it… a couple of days ago, I was watching the 700 club; and Gordon Robertson had a specific word of knowledge for me… he mentioned my name; and the exact words I’d used in prayer, and the exact amount of money I’d been praying for… there is no way that I can’t claim this! The amount is way too much for me to ever obtain myself… $35,000.00… I mean, especially now; I’m literally in dire straights!
but, I know that I know that I know that my God is Faithful to Perform that which He’s promised! And, He will meet ALL MY NEEDS! So, somehow, I will see the manifestation of this money in my hands, RIGHT ON TIME! I will not be made homeless! NO weapon formed against me shall prosper! Your testimony just told me that my God is on top of it; and I will not fear! Fear has no place in me! God Bless you! mari.
Wow! I am completely speechless! Thank you so much for the shout out! And most of all for your prayers! You definitely make me smile as well! I know I can always come to your blog for a pick me up and a smile!
p.s….As of today One strong healthy heartbeat! Praise the Lord!
Laurel,
This award, especially from you, …. you can’t know how it fills my heart. I adore you and have seen Jesus so alive and working in your life. Your wit and sense of humor are always a delight. But, Laurel, your heart, your willingness to share real living is what touches me.
I love you my sister, I am undone you would think of me. Thank you… Thank you… Thank you…
