“So then, brothers, stand firm and hold to the teachings we passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter. May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word.”
~ 2 Thessalonians 2:15-17
Believe it or not – I am actually on time this month. Only because this lady has been on my mind all day long…But before I share with you who the Encourager of the Month ~ Nov’06 is, I just want to say something…
I have incredible women on my blogroll!!!! You encourage, you make me laugh, and you make me think. You challenge me to stand up for who I am in Him. Thank you ladies – you are the most awesome women I am privileged to know.
Okay, but now to the encourager: She is direct — she challenges me the most — she is loving — she is honest!!!! My favorite part though: “Check the Bible first and pray about a situation and than make a decision”. Any clue? You are right when you said: Carol from “She Lives“. I have been reading her blog for almost over a year…Not only are her posts wonderful – but the discussions we have via email. Carol makes me dig deeper into His Word — challenge what the world says and waiting for clarity through Scripture.
Carol – I know you have had your blogging blues, but I do hope that it is over. I can see it in your post today! It is wonderful, and written just like the Carol I know. Thank you for always pointing to Scripture and making me want to have an even closer relationship with our Lord and Savior. Thank you for your honesty…You Rock!!!!
BTW – would you please continue to pray for Carol. She has a really bad knee right now (you can read more about here)…
Excellent choice Iris. Her post today was especially awesome!
I could not have picked a better person myself. I enjoy her immensely.
You have such good taste;)
Well deserved. Blessings to you.
Okay. Trying not to get all tearful over here.
Iris, thank you. It blesses me to know you. You are one of the most faithful bloggers I know – not just in the blog relationships you build, but also to the truth that is Christ.
Much love,
What a lovely lovefest! And a well-deserved award. I discovered Carol soon after I started blogging in May, and I’ve enjoyed popping by her blog ever since. Her latest post is excellent.
Hey, sorry I missed your meebo messages. Drat! I toggled away from my site for a few minutes to leave a comment somewhere, and when I came back you were gone. Thanks for trying. Have a wonderful weekend. :~)
Awesome! I love Carol. She’s the real deal when it comes to her faith.
I loved Carol’s post. Thank you for introducing me. Will visit often. Blessings to you. Lynn
Well done! Blessings from Nancy!
Carol is special…her personality and love for Christ exudes from her written words, and she simply draws me in. I understand your affections and affirmations for her. I would love to be a fly on the wall of y’all’s emails–I bet I could learn much from the dialogue!
BTW, I realized following my bloglines/template/blogger problems, my “Sting” award was dropped from my sidebar; I uploaded it this morning, and now my blog looks fully dressed :). Can you tell I’ve been discombobulated for too, too long?? 🙂
