Looking Back & Book Winners

Posted on by

I guess it is perfect that this is my 1000th post (VALENTINE’S DAY NO LESS). The fact that I WROTE and you READ 1000, of my posts amazes me. Thank you does not cover how I feel.  I am blown away when I look back and see where the Lord has taken me since I began blogging.

Through blogging and reading your words of wisdom I have drawn closer to God.  Sometimes drew closer by what was said, sometimes it made me go read and research what I believed myself.

The friendships I have made are a blessing.  Many of you have seen me through several surgeries and bad days of being a Mom, but your words of encouragement and love lifted my spirits!

Through blogging the door to reviewing books opened up to me.  I LOVE reading.  God blessed me in allowing me to review books I believe will help you grow closer to God.  The opportunity to know some of these wonderful authors humbles me!

I don’t know where God is leading next and my plan is to stay faithful to Him.  My prayer is that whatever I do in some shape or form, leads you back to Him.  Ok now on to my “Looking Back” links.

Can I just tell you I am DROOLING over the Kindle 2!  If anyone would like to donate one to this book reviewer I would be forever grateful.

If you enjoy reading and you are in the Dallas area did you know they are having a Christian Book Expo?  Oh my lands all my favorite authors under one roof.  It would be like a kid going to Disneyland.

You may know John Piper but CJ Mahaney did a great, quick interview with John Piper (who rarely does interviews).

My sister sent me this wonderful list of The 125 Healthiest Supermarket Foods in America. I love it and bookmarked it for reference.

Happy Valentine’s Day

For my Valentine’s Day treat I am not only giving one book away (as stated before) but two additional one also for a total of THREE BOOK WINNERS.

  1. Congratulations Lori on your 1,000th blog post! Wow; that’s a lot of writing.

    I am so thankful that I discovered blogging. I probably wouldn’t be doing this if I hadn’t been helping my husband in his company. I had to learn about social media and helping companies to interact with consumers. As an added benefit, I discovered blogging which is now my hobby on the sisde. I guess there’s another lesson in that too. When we are obedient to what God is telling us to do (like helping the hubby), He opens up other doors and blessings. :)

    I’m also thankful for the relationships I’ve made through blogging. I wouldn’t have “met” you otherwise. :)

    I must say that I love my Kindle. Right now, I won’t be upgrading to the Kindle 2 but it is very convenient. I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves to read. You can download books from Amazon in no time and there’s lots of storage space. I tend to read several books at once and I can easily do that and keep my place with the Kindle.

    I love your Saturday posts on looking back. I think it’s great to share things you learned with others. I’m going to check out the John Piper interview.

    Happy Valentine’s Day Lori, my BBF!
