Awards and Postscripts
It’s a lovely Tuesday. (I feel like I’ve used the word lovely a lot on my blog lately. Maybe it’s replacing my former favorite, poignant. [My husband says I used to use that one all. the. time.])
Anywho, I have several things on my mind to share with you today.
Blogging responsibly: I haven’t forgotten about my blogging responsibly badge idea. I actually designed it already. I am just trying to figure out the best way to set it up with everyone’s links. I would like to let everyone who uses it link to a page or post on their own blog delineating their personal guidelines for blogging. Let me know if you have any ideas! (Ironically, I am writing this post before some other things I need to be doing.)
Vacation: A.J., Christian, and I are leaving for Ohio on Saturday! I am so excited. This is the first time I’ve been home since January 2009. I can’t wait to introduce Christian to my dad, who hasn’t met him yet. I can’t wait to see my sisters – two of whom only seen once since I moved, and that was on my wedding day, so it wasn’t exactly quality time. I can’t wait to see the church family I grew up with. I can’t wait to see my Ohio fields and woods again. I am hoping I will have enough time to get a few posts written and scheduled for while I am gone.
Awards: I have recently been given two blog awards, and as a good little blogger I am going to pass them along. 
Callie gave me the Humphrey Bogart award… definitely the most unique award I’ve ever been given! The rules are to state where I want to be in 10 years, and to pass it on to 10 other bloggers. (Although I agree with Callie, pass it on to however many you want!)
In 10 years, I would like to be mama of a few more adorable children. I would like to be supporting my husband in whatever ministry he is involved in. I would like to be much more self-controlled, joyful, and disciplined than I am now. And I would like to be homeschooling my children. Here are the 10 bloggers I’m passing the reward along to:
- Cheyenne at These Are a Few of My Favorite Things
- Sarah at Sarah’s Wanderings
- Kaylene at Face Value
- Leanna at Thoughts ‘n’ Whatnots
- Traci at Ordinary Inspirations
- Katy at 110% Surrendered?
- Natalie at Scribbles ‘n’ Things
- Elizabeth at Study Quiet
- Elisabeth at Hope Scribbles
- Page at Crazy Joy
Elisabeth gave me the Pure in Heart award. I can only hope that I do write with purity of heart… I know that it’s not always so! I am supposed to pass this one along to five bloggers. Here they are:
- Reeve at A Poured Out Life
- Jennifer at Planted By Streams
- Raechel at Finding My Feet
- Susanna at Mommy, Inc.
- Talitha at Godward
Hope you enjoyed this post of randomness this morning. I’m off to take care of my little one.
Anna, this comment is unrelated but I was curious about something. I’ve been a reader for some time, on and off, and I can’t remember if you have mentioned this topic… what do you and your husband believe about the gifts of the Holy Spirit? (cessationism or continuationism) Would you write a post about that? Bless you!
Awww, thanks! I am so grateful that we know each other, even just a little, in the blogging sisterhood of Christ!
May He fill your heart with JOY!
