1 Thessalonians 5:10-12Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
I was so excited, yet humbled by the very sweet gift I was given first thing this morning! My sweet siesta, Kim gave me the nicest gift I have ever received! I mean this...
I don't share with people about how my quiet time with God goes, but today I must share this with you girls! I had just been talking with God about my friendships and the insecurity that I have always felt in that area of my life. Then...just a few moments later, when I checked my e-mail there was this gift from Kim! I am not kidding!
She is such a NICE, neat girl and has been a great friend from the first time we met (in this blog world). I really hope I get a chance to meet her in person because I admire her so much! She has been an inspiration to me and I'm sure everyone else who meets her! Her courage to lead her Bible study is amazing. Even though it hasn't been easy, her perseverance is unbelievable! Thank you so much, Kim! If you stop by to visit her you will be blessed!
If you don't know about this gift, it is meant to be passed on to others who we think are very special women. I have been blessed by my sister-in-law, Stacey for many years since she married my oldest brother! I've watched her grow in her faith so much and it is so great to have her as my sister-in-Christ! We've had many special moments together. One of them was when we stood above my sister who passed away. I will never forget it and I'm sure Stacey won't either. I also admire her because she has a heart for God like no other! She and my brother have taken care of so many children in foster care over the years and have treated them as one of their own. She was also the one who gave me my first Christian c.d. ever! It was the beginning of my addiction! It was a Clay Crosse c.d. and definitely one of my favorites. So... long story short, I must give this award to my favorite sister-in-law, Stacey! I love you!
I'd love to give this award to every single woman who has commented on my blog! You are all so sweet and I've enjoyed the e-mails and all of the nice, encouraging, support you have given me since I started this. I can't believe I can have tears in my eyes while typing on my computer to total strangers! :)
Thank you all for being my Siestas!!!
In Christ Alone,
Angie xoxo

Thanks for stopping by. I have seen your comments over at Holly's (Crown Laid Down)--that's probably how you got to me.
Congrats on the award.
I can see why Kim gave you the award! What a great blog...She gave me one, also. Isn't she fun?
I just visited my dental hygenist this week. Gotta love a good tooth cleaner (lol)
