For I long to visit you so I can bring you some spiritual gift that will help you grow strong in the Lord. When we get together, I want to encourage you in your faith, but I also want to be encouraged by yours. ~ Romans 1:11-12 (NLT)
I don’t even know where to start with this month’s Encourager of the Month~ May’07. She makes me laugh, smile, think, how I act in public…I think I like her sense of humor the best. But then again there is her Biblical teachings. What can I say about that? Wow really doesn’t cut it, does it? She always finds ways to apply Scripture passages to every day life situations. And this post made me cry and reflect deeply on who I am in Him…
Most of you know her through her beautiful Bible study “I Am…so I don’t have to be“. Lisa, you have been really encouraging not only to me, but to a lot of women IRL and in Bloggyland. I am so thrilled that the Lord has crossed our paths. I am very blessed and I feel privileged that we are blogging together at the Internet Cafe.
I pray that you will accept this little award and that you know that I am challenged by your thoughts on your personal blog, “The Preacher’s Wife” and your post on the “Internet Cafe”…
If you have never, ever visited Lisa, I urge you to just check her out. I know that she will draw you back for more…
Blessings on your Friday and as always…
She really does deserve this award……I love the study and she’s been an encouragement to many I am sure!
Blessings
Though I just visits her blog several times, I think she really deserve the name of Encourager.
Wish every sister has a wonderful weekend…and happy Children’s Day to you..having child’s heart all the time…
Lisa is absolutely deserving on your award…
GREAT PICK!!!
Wow Iris – I don’t know what to say but THANK YOU~!
How much more perfect to receive this on a day I could use a little encouragement myself…Can the recipient share the honor with the presenter? 🙂
To all of you girls – I never dreamed when I began blogging in !only February! that God would bless me with so many women who – thought I may never meet you face-to-face – are as much a part of my circle of girlfriends as the ones I can see. I know if I need prayer, you pray. If I need a laugh, you tell a funny. If I need to cry, you give me a cyber-hanky. (Just so you know, my hubby just read this over my shoulder and said, ‘sheesh, can you just see us guys giving each other a cyberhanky?? what is a cyberhanky, anyway??) They just don’t get it, Girls! :))
Thank you Iris, for being my IRL friend and for blessing me with this award. You’ve made my month!
Great choice, Lisa is so deserving of this award.
I TOTALLY agree with this one!! This study has truly blessed my life, as well as Lisa’s other encouraging and hilarious posts. She is a wonderful woman of God, as are you…and I thank Him for you both!!
I will miss Thankful Thursday next week while on vacation (which I promise I will be VERY THANKFUL FOR!!:-)) …but I will catch up with you ladies when I get back. Take care and God Bless!!
Thanks Iris. I’m on my way to check her blog.
Have a blessed day!
I’m really thrilled that we snafood her for the Internet Cafe. She’s awesome. –Is snafood a word? I guess it is today!
Iris, I’ve lurked a few times at your blog, and have only found wonderful posts. I’ll be back, for sure, and appreciate your recognizing Lisa this month. I also want to thank you for the lovely Thankful Thursday post idea. Bravo!
Just popped in from Lisas blog to say hi and to say what a sweet post. I’ve just recently joined her online bible study and was so excited to find a study…..I’ve been involved in several online studies that fizzled but this one is just perfect!
Have a wonderful day :0)

Great choice! I love Lisa—so sweet and funny and her study rocks!

Wow, that is a powerful verse. Just reading the verse alone is thought provoking! Hmmmm.
