“I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” ~ Ephesians 4:1-3 (ESV)
Well, I can start with a huge, humongous “Thank You”! I have been truly blessed by my readers over the last six months. Not only was Sting My Heart honored by Sallie (A Gracious Home), Amy (The 160 Acre Woods) and Heather (Graced by Christ), but now also by Carol from “She Lives“. Carol liked this post and awarded it with her “She Likes My Post Award“. Yup, I have another cool button gracing my sidebar. Thank you Carol :razz:…
Not even 24 hours later I was informed that Sting My Heart was nominated for the “Sweet Scent ~ Unified Heart” award and was selected as a finalist. I want to thank all of you who nominated this blog. It humbles me that you believe that Sting My Heart is worthy of this award. I am in wonderful company: Holy Experience (Ann Voskamp) and Unfinished Work (Dianne) are the other two finalist for the award. There are many other bloggers nominated for different categories. Please check them all out. I know that you will find some awesome bloggers and some might even end up on your personal blogroll. The voting started and the deadline is December 15th. You just have to click on the below image and it will take you right to CWO’s award page…
And you deserve all the awards and more! I will be casting a vote for you my good friend! 🙂

Warmest congratulations, Iris! Thank you for the sweet fragrance of Christ you bring to the blogosphere! ~warm smile~

Oh my, nothing about either of these honors surprises me in the least. Very, very well deserved. Congratulations to you on both!
Wow, Iris…have I really not read you in this long? My bad…but more so, my loss. I have pulled up your page most every day, but I KNOW when I read you (and a few other of my sweet blog faves) that it takes TIME! I can’t just pop in and pop out, ESPECIALLY when I get behind. Sooo…by the end of the day, I have closed out my tabs without having spent time “here” (or “there” in several instances, too 😉 ).
ALL THAT BEING SAID, CONGRATULATIONS, sweet lady! I think I’ll join CWO so I can vote (I bet some of my other favorites are nominated as well). Of course, I know it’ll be a great place to stop in to be encouraged, too :).
