Linky Love - New Discoveries and an Award!

As I was making my way around the blogosphere this week, I found a few new-to-me blogs that are just fabulous!  I thought I’d let you in on my discoveries, so you can enjoy these blogs, too!

• I discovered Duckabush Blog from a link at In the Life of a Child.   Tim and Kathy are a husband and wife blogging team.  How cool is that?
• I found The Diary of a Hope Filled Mom when Heather installed my new theme for me.  (She created it too).  Her by-line is “Relying on God Every Second of Every Day”.  Isn’t that the truth!
• Finally, I found Calladpidder Days when I discovered Fall Into Reading at God’s Grace in Practice.  Anyone who loves reading enough to put together a whole blogosphere-wide reading challenge is A-OK in my book!

Also, I received this award from Michelle at In the Life of a Child.  It’s the Mathetes Award, given for excellence in discipleship.  I am absolutely blown away that she would think I deserve an award for excellence in discipleship.  I can tell you, that’s not me.  That’s God for sure!  I am truly humbled.

And now I must pass on this award to 5 other people.  So, I am going to pass the Mathetes Award for Excellence in Discipleship to:

• Jennifer at Where the Heart is.   Jennifer’s faith just amazes me.  She has been through some hard times, yet she still is able to praise the Lord through those times.
• Rebecca at A Walk Through the Valley.  Rebecca isn’t one of those Christian’s who pretends to be perfect.  She’s open with her struggles, and I think a lot of people could learn from her example.  As Christians, we don’t have to be perfect.  We should strive to be authentic, though, and Rebecca is just that.
• Heather at Especially Heather.  Even as she struggles with cancer, Heather is always encouraging others in their faith.  I usually go to her blog to pray for her, but I end up being blessed by her words every time I visit.
• De at Just Another Day in Paradise.  I met her through Wrapped Emotions, and I just love visiting her blog.  She’s one of those bloggers who doesn’t necessarily post on her faith outright very often, but you can just tell by her writing that she’s got something special going with God.  I really appreciated this post, because I can totally relate to it.
• Julie at the Surrendered Scribe.  I also met her through Wrapped Emotions.  The banner on her blog reads, “My past was all about fearing rejection and worrying about what others thought of me. My present is all about obeying God, surrendering my fears, and stepping out of the comfort zone. My future is sharing His messages of encouragement and love with you, as well as personal posts on marriage, parenthood,writing, ministry, and pretty much anything in between! Be encouraged, blessed, challenged, but be back often!”  That pretty much says it all!

Have a very blessed weekend, everyone!
