Over the past several weeks, Sting My Heart received award nominations from these very dear ladies: Crystal, Dawn, Crystal, Sharon and Debbie. I didn’t mean to ignore your kindness toward my blog. Between finishing my first ever interview (more about that at the end of this month), working, being wife and mom, administering Laced with Grace, writing devotionals….well, I just haven’t had the time to respond.
I am so thankful that our Lord is using my little place on the Internet to encourage you…So, I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for these awards you graced Sting my Heart with:
Crystal (“God is in Control…NOT ME!”):
“Iris -well Iris just blesses me every time she stops by which is quite often. I am so thankful for a sweet friend like her, plus she is helping me promote my CD she is such a great friend.”
Dawn (“Simplified Life”):
“Here’s what the Power of Schmooze Award is all about: ‘As it goes, schmoozing is the natural ability “to converse casually, especially in order to gain an advantage or make a social connection.†Good schmoozers effortlessly weave their way in and out of the blogosphere, leaving friendly trails and smiles, happily making new friends along the way. They don’t limit their visits to only the rich and successful, but spend some time to say hello to new blogs as well. They are the ones who engage others in meaningful conversations, refusing to let it end at a mere hello – all the while fostering a sense of closeness and friendship.”
Crystal (“The Song of my Soul”):
“Iris at Sting My Heart. Iris is another one I found just this year. She has a very inspiring testimony and I am always encouraged by her posts.”
Sharon (“Sit with Me Awhile”) & Debbie (“My Spot of Blog”):
Sharon: “I am going to try and hit all the blogs I hit regularly. There is a reason why the are my regulars -they touch my heart, stir my mind, and they keep me on my toes(sometimes they step on them too).” Debbie: “Iris from Sting My Heart is another most deserving. She gives of her time to encourage us ladies all over the blogosphere. If you’re not a regular reader of her blog, I suggest you go on over and check her out. I think you will agree with me.”
Thank you again for you kind words. I pray that God will continue to use Sting my Heart to encourage you…
Be blessed today and as always…
You are beautiful indeed!
God Bless!
Betty
And you will know them by their fruit.
Seems like I am not the only one noticing the fruit! 🙂
Love ya girl
Well deserved, and I second every kind comment!!
You are so deserving Iris! You touch so m any of us with your kind, encouraging spirit and ready words of wisdom.
DITTO DITTO!! Iris you are a “life toucher”, a “heart-speaker”—you have touched my life with your thoughts, devotions, comments and definitely spoke to my heart time and time again. I prayed for you and several other sweet bloggin’ buddies that I have been blessed to know since I first started this bloggy journey especially strong yesterday morning on the way into work (not that you aren’t prayed for everyday…but yesterday was a strong nudging).
Congrat’s on the sweet awards—totally deserving!
God bless you sweet friend! (((hugs)))
I couldn’t agree with their choice for those awards more. You are very special Iis. You sweet spirit and love for the Lord just overflow from your posts. I am blessed to know you!!
All very well deserved, Iris. Congratulations to you on all these nice awards.
Hi! I paricipate in Thankfuk Thursdays. There is a family that REALLY needs prayers. Their 2 year old son is fighting for his life and he needs a miracle. I am trying to get as many prayers for them as possible. Please post about this or pass on their need for prayer! Their link is on my blog.
Thank you,
Kim
