LOVELY BLOG AWARD

Thank you, Linden Barrick for nominating me for a Lovely Blog Award. I also follow her blog and can see why she was nominated. You can find her at www.LindenBarrick.wordpress.com. Her posts give insight into being a Christian in the education world as well as being a Christian mom and writer.

This honor asks that I recognize the one who nominated me, tell seven things about myself, and nominate 15 other bloggers.

Seven things about me:
1. This year makes 12 years of homeschooling my daughter. Wow, the last year - I'd do it all again.

2. I'm married to my highschool sweetheart.

3. I'm proud to say I'm a pastor's wife because my husband is a wonderful pastor and preacher of the Word.

4. I was proud as I watched my daughter go forward during an invitation surrendering to Christian ministry to children.

5. I'm humbled by the fact that God orchestrated the publishing of my first book this year.

6. I am an interpreter for the deaf who interprets my husband's sermons each week.

7. Recently, the sponsor of our local writer's group got me addicted to Peanut Butter M&M's. God meant for chocolate and peanut butter to go to together.

My 15 Nominations:
