a sampling of posts from my favorite blogs

I want to give my blogging sistahs some guest traffic and also perhaps introduce some of my own readers to some great women out there in the blogdom who have such a heart for Jesus and who are also just fabulous, humorous writers!

This one from Sarah's blog, "In the Midst of It"

This one from Erin's blog, "Embracing My Cup"

This one from Amy's blog, "Amy's Humble Musings"

and this one from DeeDee's blog, "It Coulda Been Worse"

The blogging is out of control, people

So apparently one blog wasn't good enough for me. Now I have two. Let your eye wander over to the column on the right...there you'll see the header, "My Other Blog" and 'neath it, a link that will take you to "This Girl's Books." There I have given my explanation for the blogging madness. And there you will discover that there is, indeed, method to my madness. (She's not entirely ready for the straitjacket, folks.)

the beauty of hope

Please take a moment and check out this lady's blog:

I just happened across this blog through another blog that I occasionally read, and wow! What a fortuitous find! My heart literally stirred a little bit when I started to read...this lovely lady is 38 years old, has been married for 9 years, and is finally pregnant after years and years of trying!!!

The best thing for me is her wonderfully sweet attitude about it all. You can tell from her writing that her attitude is very much one of: may God be praised, whether He gives me children or not! What an example for me to live by, and what a sense of hope I have received by her hands from the Lord! May God bless her, her husband, and especially this little long-awaited person that they will meet in a few months. My joy is with and for them.
