my circle of friends

 

quite some time ago, i was given this award from my very sweet friend andrea @ arise to write and also from another wonderful blogging friend, maryleigh @ blue cotton memory.  both of these ladies are such an inspiration to me and have befriended me here in the blogging community where i have developed such a circle of friends with so many wonderful people that i have been totally amazed to be a part of.  these women share their faith through stories, challenges, and messages that God has put on their hearts. their moments of sharing their lives with God bring forth messages I need to hear everyday. i truly feel like i am a part of their lives and they are a part of mine. we pray for each other, we cry when we are hurting and laugh when we are experiencing joy in our lives. to me, that is the best kind of circle of friends that there is!


The rules for this award are:

• grab the award
• post it on your blog along with 5 things you love to do
• and 5 other bloggers you want to recognize

the five things i love to do:
1. i love studying the Word of God
2. i love being with my husband, he makes me laugh so much
3. i love to laugh
4. i love great conversations with my kids and enjoying their lives with them.
5. i love having coffee and/or lunch with my friends.

now, to the important part of this award – the ladies who have become a circle of friends to me. some day i am going to be able to sit down and have lunch and coffee with some of my blogging friends, i just know it and you would be some of the first friends that i would love to circle around a table to laugh and talk with.  the rules are to pick 5. but i am going to have to expand it just a little because i can not just pick 5. i am so pleased to have each of you as part of my life.

first i have to include maryleigh and andrea as they have extended their hand of friendship to me so openly. i would have to say that the others that have reached out their hand of friendship to me and made me feel so accepted and loved are loren, kat, debby, mimi, rosel, adeye, darcie, kristin, and tara. I really would just love it if we could all sit together and fellowship in real life. what a blessing from God that would be. you never know ladies, it just might be possible some day. :)
