A Desire of My Heart!!



First of all I would like to say, LORD, Thank You!(:.  Secondly, I want to say, "Thank you!" and give a BIG virtual hug to my blogging friend Stacie from "No Idle Bread" no-idle-bread.blogspot.com  for giving me this Blog Award!!! 

{I received this award about a month ago.  I wanted to adhere to the Blog award rules and that's why it has taken me awhile to post.}   




I have always desired a Blog Award...   Psalm 37:4:
   4Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.  As I told Stacie, I hadn't spoken these words aloud.  God is so faithful to his word.  It cannot lie(:

Now, as I've learned, blog awards come with these rules:

  1. Thank and link back to the person who awarded you this award
  2. Share 7 things about yourself
  3. Award 15 recently discovered great bloggers
  4. Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award
Rule #2:  Seven things about myself.

1.  I have a twin sister (Bertha).  I am the oldest by five minutes(:
2.  I am an Army Veteran (Captain).
3.  I served in Operation Iraqi Freedom 05'-06'.
4.  I like marksmanship.
5.  I am a former educator and home-schooler.
6.  I looove ice cream(:
7.  My word for life is "evolve".

Rule #3: Award fifteen recently discovered great bloggers.  

 I enjoy stopping by and/or following these blogs.  I gain insight and perspective!  The fifteen awardees are:

  2. Hi Mrs Gertha

    Thank you for awarding my blog this award! Love your word for life.. if we don't we can't really experience all that life has to offer. I don't understand why anyone would not be thrilled to know that others appreciate their blog (maybe its too much trouble to pass it on?) Anyway, thank you again and God bless!
