“For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you— that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine.”
~ Romans 1:11-12 (ESV – emphasis mine)
I haven’t given out the ‘Encourager of the Month’ award for some time now. Last time was July of 2007. I think it is time that I will start again giving out my little award. Of course my award is really nothing special, it is just an award from my heart…
The winner of January’s award is a very dear friend of mine. I can call her if I have a huge burden on my heart…I can email her when ever I need a prayer. She has been a co-author of Laced with Grace from the beginning in 2006 and she is wonderful prayer warrior…not only on my behalf, but on behalf of many women in bloggy-ville.
If you have never had the pleasure to read Lynn’s blog “Spiritually Unequal Marriage”, I encourage you to head on over to her blog. If you need prayers — well, she will storm the throne of grace on your behalf.
Lynn, I hope that you will accept my little award. You are a wonderful friend and an encourager to many in bloggy-ville. I am glad that the Lord saw it fit to cross our paths this side of heaven…
Your award is wonderful. Congratulations to Lynn.
I couldn’t agree more with you. Lynn has blessed me and I pray that she will continue to do so as I make my way (hopefully with my family) toward Jesus.
Now, about that baklava. E-mail me your address and it will be on its way. Have a blessed week. And thank you for everything.
How Sweet! I’ve been blessed by her posts! What a great friend!
Amen, Lynn is such a wonderful friend, and encourager to me.

What an excellent choice. I’ve recently started visiting her blog because she hosted TT. Her blog is wonderful.
What a very nice award.
Oh Iris,
I started to read this and tears sprang up in my eyes. I am humbled…. The Lord is my author and I give Him all the glory.
The award is especially sweet because of our long and deep friendship. I love you my sister. You are a rich blessing in my life.
Lord, thank you for my friend Iris. Her heart for you is as big as the universe. Continue to protect her, guide her days and lavish love upon her. In Jesus name, Amen.
I have just found that site in the past few weeks…… as a product of divorce from and non-believer I so relate………. It is a difficult path for any person and when there are others out there to give you a hand up then that is just God……. she is a sweetie…….good choice……..
