~Awards Day~

I was honored today with the "Being Real" Award by Beth at I'm Headed Towards My Destiny.

What an honor this is, Beth!

You have blessed me beyond words with this award. It is hard sometimes to expose yourself for all the world to see your faults, flaws and shortcomings, but this is what God is asking me to do. He has asked me to help those who need encouraging, are hurting and the ones that feel there is not any hope. I can only do that from my own experiences, pain, tests and trials.

Who would I ever help if I kept it locked away inside my little secret place...you know...the place you keep all your hurts and mistakes...praying no one will ever know you thought that, felt that or ever went there?

Thank you again, Beth! I love you.

I am so sorry that I haven't acknowleged the other awards that I was given back in early December, but with my mom breaking her hip, hospital stay, rehab, Christmas and New Year's...I'm just now getting around to posting them. Please don't think that I didn't love and appreciate each one. Each one holds a special place in my heart, as does the precious bloggy friend who gave it to me.

This one is from Samantha at Mama's aMusings and Heather at A Day In My Life. Thank you so much, Samantha and Heather!!!

This award represents this:"These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find, and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers."

I am supposed to pass it on to 8 people. I am sure some of you have already received this award and if you do...that's ok...I'm a little behind :-(

If you haven't received this award before, please feel free to grab this one because in the nearly year that I have been blogging, I haven't met anyone who hasn't tried to befriend others. You ladies are all winners of this award in my book!!!
