I think it is safe to say

that if each of us threw our troubles in a pile and saw everyone else's, we would most certainly want ours back.

While some of the hurdles I must get over are quite large, I know that my God is larger and will see me through. I pray for all of those who have not come to the Truth yet and don't feel there is anyone helping them. He loves us all and those that come to know Him will be blessed.

ISAIAH 46:4

And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.

 That said, I must thank ~ Andrea ~ for the

Lemonade Award!

Me and lemons weren't always so good together.

I didn't realize how easy it is to make lemonade.

We are { lousy with it } now though!

So I accept this award because I have come a long way but

I give the Glory to God

6th award is for...

Courtney Jane from cjane enjoy it

Her blog is a perfect balance between

{ Hope }

{ Humor }

{ Humility }

and of course, { Baby Stuff } !

I do not think she will accept this award and the terms to do so (found here) because she keeps her blog pretty clean of clutter - which is refreshing - but I had to share her blog here on the chance that there is still someone who hasn't been fortunate enough to find it yet.

Thanks for blogging, Courtney!

I'd like to give the 5th award to...

Lynnette Kraft ~ Dancing Barefoot ... On Weathered Ground

I am new to her blog but I must share her with you. She and her husband have been blessed with 9 children, 3 of which God has since called to be at His side. Lynnette's writing is full... Full of life, full of love, full of compassion. It has been wonderful reading what she has shared.
