Award

"Golden Heart Award"

I was very blessed to be nominated by -BXN blog author of 'In My Sad Little Opinion'. This was such a shock considering how very different his site is from mine and to learn that he is now even following my blog. How awesome it is to know that some bloggers can be so different but still respect and appreciate one anothers stories. I love that about so many people and God teaches me through them so very much! I'm very honored to be given this award by a fellow blogger. Thank you -BXN. Please go and meet BXN and take some time to visit his site and say 'hello' or leave any a comment.

As the rules state, I'm to pass this award on to 5 blogs that mean something to me so, here goes:

1)Christy Rose at The Secret Life of an American Wife and Mom.

2)Alleluiabelle at Humble As I Go. 3)Alice at From the Heart

4)Christine at WASH, FOLD, PUT AWAY AND REPEAT....

5)Peter at When I Am Weak, Then I Am Strong

6)Kathleen Smith at Heart 2 Heart

7)Mimi at He & Me + 3 It was not easy to pick just 5 bloggers to honor this award with. There are so many blogs that are such a joy to read and every single one of you deserve this nomination. But today I wanted to do things different. I wanted to honor those blogs that never ask for a thing, never desire to make themselves noticed, or rewarded, but instead follow the beat after God's heart simply trying to please Him. Oh, and if you're wondering if I know how to count....yes, I do. I realize I cheated by adding a sixth blogger with including Kathleen Smith's blog (#6) who I just became familiar with. (After reading her post 'My Pet Peeves' yesterday I just couldn't stop laughing, probably because I related so much to what she shared. Hilarious!) And then I still couldn't stop and added a seventh....Mimi (#7) because she is just too darn silly and cute and always has such a positive attitude. So call me a cheater if you want (Wow, High School flashback!)....and if I could I know my list would go out to all you awesome and amazing bloggers like Billy, Jennifer Lee, Tracy, Lisa Shaw, Sherri Watt, Peter Pollock (who helped me look at myself in the mirror a bit longer), Katdish, (A woman who has her own unique fun personality and has given me a new way to view life), and of course if I go any further than this post will never end. In closing, I encourage you to check out all of these great sites listed in this post. Okay now for the chosen bloggers of the Award; here's the deal: You're job (if you decide to accept this award) now is to award this 'Golden Heart Award' to 5 blogs that mean something meaningful to you and don't forget to drop a note to tell them they got it. (In the same way I dropped you a little note.) Also, mention who nominated you and invite your readers to visit that person's site, leave a comment about any post, and follow the blog if you feel led to. Include the picture of the award in your blog so the nominators can forward it onto others. If you have any questions just let me know.

And then (drum roll please....) tomorrow I am so excited; I am going to introduce everyone to my brand new baby!! So don't forget to check back.....
