New Things for February

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)

  1. 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.

  2. 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

  3. 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!

  4. 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!
