inspirational blogger
Thanks go to my friend De’Etta for passing the Inspirational Blogger Award to me. I’m humbled that anyone would find anything inspirational about my blog ~ it’s definitely not me but the Holy Spirit! The funny thing is, I’m usually inspired by something De’Etta has posted! LOL
Now I have the pleasure of passing along the Writer’s Reviews Blogger Awards to 5 blogs/bloggers of my choosing (click here to see “the official rules”). This is not an easy task! There are so many inspirational, courageous, charity, thoughtful and/or creative bloggers out there. It’s hard to believe these “awards” have only been in existence since July 4, 2007 ~ I think at least half of the blogs I read on a regular basis have been given these awards already!
1. Meredith at Life at 7000 Feet ~ a mountain girl with altitude : I came across Meredith’s blog by way of another blog. I immediately realized that Meredith and I have quite a bit in common. I emailed her, and we’ve been email pals ever since. She pops in on my blog occasionally, and I pop in on hers too. I have learned about her and her family by way of her blog. Meredith’s fun outlook on life and her willingness to be real on her blog, warts and all, consistently inspire me and cause me to re-examine my relationship with the Lord (not to mention the fact that I’m just plain jealous that she gets to live in Colorado!).
2. Tamara at Training Hearts ~ Tamara could easily be awarded both the Inspirational Blogger Award and the Courageous Blogger Award; I’ll let her choose which one she would like to display on her blog. Tamara’s sweet spirit, love for the Lord, love for her family, her heart for homeschooling and her desire to share her talents are so evident within her blog design and her posts. Tamara has faced great pain in her personal life; she’s not afraid to share what she has learned by way of her suffering, and she offers solace and hope to others who experience similar pain.
3. Alycia at Where My Treasures Are ~ Alycia’s blog is another one I found through a link on someone else’s blog. As a sister military wife, I understand well the lifestyle Alycia and her family are currently living. I remember vividly what it was like to have a husband who was away from home frequently while our children were little. Alycia is also a sister in Christ and a sister homeschooler. Alycia’s faith is unmistakable ~ and I think she handles homeschooling small children while hubby’s TDY better than I ever did!
4. Angela at The Potter’s Hand ~ Whenever I need a chuckle, I can count on Angela’s blog to provide it. The really great thing about Angela’s blog is that while she never fails to pick me up, she consistently points me back to the Lord. She writes about homeschooling, coffee, her relationships with others, decorating, coffee, being thrifty, studying God’s Word, and did I mention coffee? 
(BTW Angela, I’m with ya on not being too happy with Starbucks lately!)
5. Joy at Joy in the Journey ~ Joy currently lives in Indonesia with her husband and children. She and her family are missionaries there. Joy has an incredibly sweet spirit that shines through in all of her posts. She has an amazing heart for God, and she so desires to serve Him by ministering to His people. She relates well with those who read her blog, whether she knows them personally or not. I have been so blessed just from reading her posts and observing her desire to care for others and spread the Gospel.
I encourage you to read all of the above-mentioned blogs. There are so many more that I could list ~ and I’ve only touched on ONE of the Writer’s Reviews Blog Awards! If I listed all of the blogs that came to mind under each of the headings, I’d be sitting at my desk writing for at least the rest of the day.
Thanks again, De’Etta, for thinking of me. And thank you to Christy, creator of the Writer’s Reviews Blog Awards, for the chance to recognize bloggers who make the blogosphere a better place.
