Blessed Aroma Winners!

You voted. They listened.
Internet Cafe's Blessed Aroma winners for 2009 have been announced. 

 It's kind of like the people's choice awards for bloggers.
The winners of the top 100 Christian blogs are there for your perusal.
So, grab yourself a hot Starbuck's this weekend and make some new friends.

I am honored and humbled you have included me among the winners.
Along with the two sites I write for;

 Laced with Grace and online magazine Exemplify.

Thank you soooooo much!

I am slowly learning that ministry can happen with and through everything, including blogs.

It is the same with my word, I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it. Isaiah 55:11 NLT

Laced with Grace Giveaway!

Laced with Grace is having a special giveaway. Make sure to read through to the end and don't forget to stop by LWG to enter!



Material from Kitty Designs' kit "Dream of a Blue Sky"

And he said to them, “Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?” Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. ~ Matthew 8:26

They're talking layoffs at work, slowdowns in the economy, flare-ups in the Middle East, turnovers at headquarters, downturns in the housing market, upswings in global warming...Imagine your life, wholly untouched by angst. What if faith, not fear, was your default reaction to threats? (text taken from Max Lucado's website)

To find out more about the book itself, please visit our very own Lori from Lori's Reflection. She read the book so she can share her thoughts with us: Fearless by Max Lucado.

Now to the niddy-griddy part of the giveaway (LWG writers are not eligible to enter - sorry, girls :wink: ). The package includes: Fearless - Hard Cover, Fearless - DVD Study, and the Fear Not Promise Book. You have four chances to enter your name into the drawing. Wondering how to get your name four times into the drawing -- pretty simple...

Control Freak!

I've suffered from this condition most of my life. A condition that I am still learning to live with. I desire to control things. Lots of things. Not just big things, but little things, important things, and even not so important things. I try and give God a hand, all the time.

Hello. My name is Joanne and I am a recovering control freak.

Are you getting sick?

Cold and flu season is just getting started and already I feel a sinus infection coming on. Once I feel the symptoms of an achy head, burning throat, or stuffed sinuses, I get my armor on, ready for battle. With a few years under my belt, thankfully, I have gained a little bit of wisdom. I work quickly to try and stop any ailment in its tracks. Taking vitamin C, Airborne, and Zicam, I arm myself to beat it down before it starts. I know just how miserable it is to be sick and I will do everything in my power to not let my enemy advance.

Head on over to Laced with Grace to read more. You will find out how I keep myself healthy, from the inside out!
