Kreativ Blogger Award


Thank you to Alleluiabelle, Humble As I Go, and Loren, The Magoos News, for giving the Kreativ Blogger Award to me. As a blogger, you always hope that people enjoy visiting your website, and to get an award for it is just the icing on the cake. Please visit these two gals and enjoy their creative blogs as well. These two sisters in the Lord are carrying heavy burdens right now, but their attitudes are positive and they continue to witness to us with the love of Jesus. They are a blessing to the Body of Christ and the blog world.

I am required to nominate 7 other bloggers for this award and they are supposed to nominate 7 others! (Be sure to leave a comment on their blog about the award.) After they accept the award, they are then asked to write a list of 7 things that their blog readers may not already know about them.

Pom Pom Ponderings
This blog is fun with lots of creativity with flowers, motherhood and grandmotherhood and lots of love of Jesus!

Keeping Up With Hunter

The Orenczak Family
This is a family blog that was originated for their little girls to practice their computer skills. How clever and creative is that!

  3. Yay! Another award! Well-deserved sister Mary for you have an awesome kreativ blog for the Lord. It's not the look, it's not about having Scripture tags on the side bars, it's not about how often you post. It's about spilling out your heart in every post, a heart that truly seeks the Lord first in every word you write. You are an inspiration and it's always refreshing to visit here. Have a great weekend! Love and blessings!

  5. Congrats for the award!

    I was reading through your older posts as well and what struck me was, you really love the Lord. I like the one under Honest Scrap where you said you enjoy waking at daybreak to meet Jesus in your garden with your first cup of coffee. i think that's no 5 on the list. i like no 6 too. the sound of birds. glorious , isn't it?

    And i saw Andrea's msg here. i was so touched..what a sweet loving woman that she is!

    Let NO weapon formed against you prosper and all that rise up against you will FALL....In JESUS PRECIOUS NAME! The enemy is UNDER YOUR FEET!

    I love you Mary and my heart is with you!

  7. Sister Mary, I had been tossing and turning and had only slept 2 hours and I'm still working tonight. I started reading one of my old journals where I had recorded the good things that the Lord had done as I started my walk with Him. I had paid particular attention to Psalm 44:5. Still couldn't sleep and when I decided to get on line and saw your comment, I knew I needed to pray with you earnestly NOW! I did and I believe there is no coincidence. The Lord showed me that Scripture to share it with you.
    Psalm 44:5 -"Only by Your power can we push back our enemies;only in Your Name can we trample our foes."
    Standing with you in prayers as the Lord stands in the midst of us now. No matter what happens, he already had overcome the world. Greater is He Who is in us than he is who is in the world.
    Lord, I ask that You cover sister Mary and her family, same with mine Your protection. Surround us all with Your angels. We know that there is no need to be afraid when troubles come because You are always there for us. You already had overcome the world so in Your precious Name, we declare our victory! In Jesus' Name. Amen. Love and hugs to you sister.

Book Review of Biblical Minimalism and Give Away

What does minimizing look like?  To the empty nester it may mean downsizing real estate.  To the co-dependent, it may mean pitching some toxic friendships they tend to collect.  I thought I had a handle on Biblical minimalism, but I wasn’t even close.  Biblical minimalism is much more than cleaning out a drawer and discarding unwanted things into a box to take to the thrift store. In her book, Biblical Minimalism, Cheryl E. Smith defines Biblical minimalism as “a complete, whole person release of anything unlike Jesus, a letting go of everything that hinders us from following Him wholeheartedly and single- mindedly , and a relinquishing of all that brings us under bondage to this earthly, very temporary life.” The author gives us a visual of a whole pie that is divided into eight slices.  Each slice describes our lives with areas to analyze to see if pruning or adjustment is needed.  I won’t name them all, but one example is the “emotional ...

Mama's Lipstick

I always wished I could do things with my mom like shop in the mall, share makeup secrets or go to the movies and watch romantic comedies.  My wish never materialized.     My mama behaved like a tomboy.   She loved baseball and pitched with a strong right arm.   She could care less about the latest fashion or the latest movies featured on the big screen.   She never polished her fingernails.    One day after elementary school, I walked into the house to find my mom all dolled up in front of the bathroom mirror, foundation crème, powder, eyebrow pencil and rouge all over the counter sink.  “Who are you?” I asked, thrilled to see my mama putting on the Ritz.  Makeup in place and blotted, she immediately took it off.  “I don’t like the way it feels,” she exclaimed. She retired in Arizona and protected her dry lips with a light rose lipstick, the color of natural lips, a step above ChapStick.  She wore it a few tim...

Abba's Lap

I noticed a behavior pattern in little Amy, twenty months old, that I want to imitate.  She moves fast engaging in one toddler activity after another spinning like a whirlwind from one room to another.  Yet, she pauses,  intermittently , long enough to get refreshed.   I want to be like this grandchild of mine because she knows where to go and how to get comforted. Amy moves at record speed, putting more miles on a pedometer in one hour than my accumulated weekly workouts at the gym.  She can build a skyscraper so tall, I wonder why those bright pink Lego’s don’t topple to the ground as she continues to stack just one more piece on top. I learned never to leave the room to get another cup of coffee.  Once, when I returned, I found her climbing past the couch with hands and feet reaching for the living room drapes. She has a consistent habit that I admire.  In the midst of her activities, as she moves robustly from one play...
