Congratulations to Denise from ‘Shortybear’s Place‘ for winning Mary DeMuth’s books “Thin Places“. As I had mentioned in my Thankful Thursday post last week, this book has changed something drastically in my heart…As my sweet friend Lori said in her blog ‘Chill, Be Sick, Be Loved and Live out Plan B‘ – ‘God is gentle and God leads…’. I am a work in progress through His hands. I pray that I will allow Him to do the growth until I see Him face-to-face.
“Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” ~ Philippians 3:13-14 (ESV)
I also wanted to share a new Blog with my readers. Joan’s blog “The Beauty in His Grip” is beautiful and her writings are such an encouragement to me. If you have not visited Joan yet, I greatly encourage you to take a look when you have time. I am most certain that “The Beauty in His Grip” will soon become a well-know Blog in the blogsphere 🙂 .
Thank you for stopping by today. Remember: God is ready to lead us if we let Him.
Thanks for directing us to Joan’s blog. I too felt the same way after reading Mary’s book.
Thanks sweetie, appreciateyou.
Hi Iris,
Congratulations to sweet Shortybear (Denise). The book “Thin Places” sounds very interesting.
I’ll have to pop over to your friend Joan.
Love you!
I’m so glad to read that Denise was the winner. Yay Denise!
And yes, I’ve found Joan’s blog and am loving it. She’s a great writer and is definitely an encourager. I love women like that as we can all use some more encouragement, can’t we?
Hugs,
Debbie
