Wow – I can not believe that January is almost over…There are some really exciting things happening in February around here and around the blogsphere…
First – as you have noticed I changed my blog-face again. As you remember I had three designs in mind before I make the final change from “Outdoorsy”. This new theme is called ‘Letter Frame’; still a clean look, but with a little more personalization: the photo on top is my personal favorite I took last year. The only thing I do not like about this theme is that I don’t have a twitter button. But then again, I don’t post too much on twitter 😆 .
Second – starting Monday, Laced with Grace is giving away two CD’s from a wonderful Texas group called “Church Chix“. I had the opportunity to get an interview with a long time blogging friend of mine and the bass player of the group. I hope you will stop by to check out the group and enter your name to win one of two CD’s.
Third – my friend Marsha from Marsha’s Musings is starting a new series: “Pursuing Love“. The study is based on 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. I hope you will be able to join in every Monday. I am looking forward to the 14 week study of a very important passage penned by Paul.
Fourth – I will have a guest blogger on Monday, February 1st. I will team up with Karon Phillips Goodman to bring you a blog-tour of a different kind. Guess what the title of the book is…”Unafraid” – hm, I guess that God really wants me to be fearless this year — stepping out of my comfort zone; pressing forward to become the woman I can be with His help…
Last but not least – I am blessed hosting you for Thankful Thursdays in the month of February.
Thank you for stopping by today…Remember: “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” ~ Isaiah 41:10 (ESV)
I like this blog design. The sunflower picture is beautiful!
Oh I am so excited, can’t wait for these new exciting things!!!
and you know I would always tell you the truth, I am still deciding if I like this one or the other one…not sure.
The Lord is doing new things in and through you Iris. You bless!
Thank you so much for all of your kind comments; for taking the time to read all those posts. You are such a sweet encourager. I am so grateful to have you in my life.
I love your new blog design Iris and I love the picture of the sunflower, it’s actually one of my favorite flowers.
Iris, February sounds exciting for Grace Alone. I love your new blog design too. Next week in our small group bible study at church we are doing a DVD series based on Max Lucado’s book “Fearless”. Perfect timing too.
I need to check out Marsha’s study. It sounds really good and timely. Trust and obey and here’s to living fearlessly in 2010.
Love you,
Debbie
I like the picture of the sunflower in the corner. It adds a nice touch.
As far as your comment about the books, I never thought I’d like audio books. I tried my first one with Karen Kingsbury since I love her books. Since then I’ve tried to find others at the library of authors I’m familiar with! My Mom got me started on it!
I love your new blog look sweetie. Looking forward to this new month, and all the things it holds for us.
I love the new design, Iris! I love the colors and the sunflower print.
I’m looking forward to all the new and fun things on the horizon for the month of February.
See you Monday!
