The Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award

 

Look what Sara passed on to me!!! Thank you, Sara!! Like me, Sara is a rebel when it comes to following rules, so in her honor, I’m only going to pass this one on to a couple of people, instead of a whole 15-20. Seriously, let’s keep this fun. Last time I won an award and followed that rule, it took me something like 3 hours just to do all the linking, and by that time I’d forgotten what I had wanted to post that day. You wouldn’t want to miss those nuggets of brilliance, now would you? 🙂

What can I say about Sara that I haven’t already said about a million times? I write whole posts on or for her, so there isn’t much left to publicly say. other than I am so glad that we’re both on the same path of healing these days and we are both emphatically against men wearing nipple shirts. I like seeing the light in her posts these days, and even though she’s a brand new sister, she has an uncanny way of hearing from the Lord exactly the same thing He seems to be telling me…I’ll never buy that there is no proof of a Living God!!

So, mmm…what do you not know about me yet? Can there possibly be anything at all left untold?

Ok. Here’s one for you: I was unable to buy a pack of cigarettes last week because I wasn’t carrying an ID and the counter-girl seriously believed I was under age. Sweet! Of course, they ID under 40 anyways, but I’m choosing to believe this was a really cool compliment. 🙂

I have a ton of sisters in this blog world, but since I’ve jacked a couple of her posts and hacked off her favorite atheist, I was  going to nominate Anne at My Life Uncut…Almost, but Sara already nominated her for the Magical Blogger Award, so I’ll just mention that I love this woman’s blog and she’s pretty patient, kind, gentle…no problem telling who she’s serving by the fruit on her trees.

So, I will nominate the following women, who I’ve grown to really love as sisters as well: I’d vote for Ed at pinkagendist.wordpress.com but obviously this is for girls only, so next time, Ed!!

1. Rendezvous With Renee – I love that Renee writes me these little “cheerleading” comments that cut through all the emotional crap and just tell me I’m just simply awesome..no matter what. Sometimes, a girl just has to hear that, whether it is true or not..Thanks, Renee! Renee writes a lot about real world emotions, and I enjoy her articles daily!!

2. For His Glory and Praise – I call this lady Forhisgloryandpraise because she still has the WordPress standard message on her About page, and for some reason, I laugh and laugh about that…I just know she stays mysterious on purpose!! I’ll bet she pulls off the mysterious and dangerous look without looking constipated at all!!  Still, she always shows up every time I write and uplifts and encourages me. Plus, we both could just die with pride in our grown children! A nickname would be nice, ForHisGlory… 🙂 Anyways, check out her site, too, okay? She’s a really sweet person!

3. Home’s Cool! – I love Katharine here, who is a fellow Oklahoman. Katharine and I, while we both love the Lord, are not always  interpreting scripture the same way. So what? I wrote an article way back when  about just because two people don’t agree, doesn’t mean one person is right and the other person is automatically wrong. There can be things that are right for one person, and plain wrong for another..God puts us where He wants us, doing what He wants us to do. If I tried to live your life, it wouldn’t work…it isn’t where I am supposed to be. And trust me, not too many people are going to be all that happy living mine.. 🙂 Don’t be afraid to float your stuff out there, Katharine. People can disagree with you..it doesn’t mean you are completely wrong and everyone else is right. Be bold, sister!!

So, once again, thanks to Sara at Kyllingsara for remembering me. Love ya, Girl!!
