What you See is What you Get…

blog Party

***Sticky Post Until March 9th…
Please scroll down for Saturday Photo Hunt***

I want to share with the Blog Party visitors a little summary about what you find here on Sting My Heart and a little of who I am…I am real and Sting My Heart is a collection of my thoughts and my life in Arizona…

  • I started blogging in April of 2005. Not many visitors in the first year, but I kept plugging along. Not sure what has changed. Maybe my writing got better over time (or my topics). But I am loving every minute of it…
  • God has called me back into His flock after moving me 6,000 miles from my family and friends in Germany…My desert dwelling has been good for my relationship with God. He made me realize that I can only depend on Him–His love, grace and mercy…
    “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” ~ Ephesians 2:8-10
    (now you know the reason for my blog address 😛 )
  • I love to share about my marriage, our son and once in a while I share about my life in Germany…
  • By God’s grace, I have an incredible relationship with my husband. I love to share that with my readers–A LOT!
  • I love to encourage other women to be a Mary in a Martha’s world…That is why you can find me also at Laced with Grace & CWO Internet Cafe…And once a month I host IOW sponsored by CWO. I am hosting this up-coming week (Tuesday) with a quote by my favorite theologian–Martin Luther…
  • My favorite hobby (besides spending time with my Sweetheart) is photography. All pictures you will find on this blog are taken by me and my little digital camera (or scanned from my regular pictures). I hope you enjoy them…
  • I love dogs–we have two of them–Zoey (a crazy female) & Bandit (an old male)…

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope to see you soon again. If you like to know more about me, check out My 100 Things post…

Blessings on your day and as always…

  1. Thanks for sharing that short story about yourself. Am very thankful for this opportunity to have been blogging with you for the past year and a half.

    Btw, your photo shows you truly have a beautiful heart aside from having a pretty face.

  2. Just stopping on my rounds of the ultimate blog party! I like to stop by your blog, I may not comment all that much, but I do read. Have an awesome blog party this week!

  3. Thanks for the party invite. I enjoyed my stay and hope to travel your way again soon. I could sure use the warmth since I live in snowy Indiana right now!

    Have a great day!

  6. Hello Iris!
    You are one of my first stops on the tour; yeah, I’m getting a late start. I can’t believe how many blogs have signed up! It’s gonna take me 3 months to visit them all. Have a wonderful week.
    Blessings,

  11. Hi Iris!
    I have seen your blog address when visiting a few other blogs, and finally got around to yours to celebrate the Blog Party. It’s nice to meet you – even if you do enjoy eating seafood! HA!

  12. “My desert dwelling has been good for my relationship with God.” Just like the Israelites, I had to go through a desert to find out his power, his love and his guidance in my life; it was a journey that I wouldn’t want to do again, but I loved the lesson that God taught me. Unfortunately, just like the Israelites, I often complain and grumble too, but I’m asking for God to change my heart in all aspects, especially that one.

    Thanks for inviting us to your get together.

  13. Nice blog and I love your party post. In fact, your post inspired me to edit mine! Hope you have time to stop by and say hi! (I’ll be back after the party to read more!)
