“If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.”
– 1 John 1:6-7 KJV
How sweet You are, dear Lord, to allow such kindness to continue to flow my way, and to allow that kindness to overflow towards others. How Fatherly You are to allow such sweet fellowship among sisters. You’re a good Father. A wonderful Father. A heavenly Father. Though the paths have not always been going the same way, You allow the same Light to shine our way, and at times design our paths to cross yet again. How delightful it will be when all our paths reach the same destination, and the circle will be unbroken!
To my dear sisters that I have nominated as Tangie of MRS. T’S CORNER nominated me for the Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award, the Lord has allowed me a long time prayer in being able to look back through names that I just don’t seem to see any more so that I can say hello, how are you, and pray for you. I pray you are doing well during this COVID-19 Pandemic. I’m not sure how WordPress decides whose posts we do or do not see, but I thank God for allowing Tangie to give me this opportunity to seek you out. God has given Tangie a spirit of generosity. You would really enjoy her blog… MRS. T’S CORNER.Thank you, Tangie , for allowing God to use a little whisper in your ear to allow me an opportunity to share with sisters who have been a treasured part of my journey with God in this blogging community. I am thankful God has made you, each of these ladies, those who have not been blogging for awhile, those who left altogether, and those reading one large community, and that one day we will finally be free of all that keeps us burdened, sickened, wearied, and separated. What a day that will be! How beautiful haven must be! ❤
RULES:
- Thank the person who nominated you with a link to their blog.
- Nominate up to 30 bloggers and give them 10 questions to answer.
- Answer the 10 questions from person who nominated you.
Tangie’s Questions for Me:
- Ladies, how were you inspired to blog?
During a difficult living situation God gave me a place to talk with Him one on one, and in private. He then led me to encourage a friend by doing a challenge on her blog. At the same time He led me to trust Him with changing my private settings to public. So far so good. - Ladies, how long have you been blogging?
4 years - Ladies, is blogging your full-time job?
No - Ladies, how does blogging inspire you?
It amazes me that God can take what we think is ranting and or doodling with words, and allow others to write and comment how it inspired them, comforted them, encouraged them, or as they often write…. was just what they needed. And then to add the cherry on top, He creates a Blogging family also known as a Blogging Community! ❤ God is so generous! ❤ - Ladies, are you encouraged by fellow bloggers?
Absolutely! I thank God for each one! ❤ - Ladies, do you actively blog (more than three times a week)?
Depends. I blog as the Lord allows. It’s HIS blog. - Ladies, have you ever considered closing your blog site?
I once did when we began to have the fake email onslaught a couple of years ago, and then when I started continuously receiving hundreds of spam mail (mostly porn ads). WordPress has not been able to do anything about these issues. It was absolutely only the blogging community (more precisely MY blogging friends) that led me to stay on. I would have deleted every single post and poem, but God reminded me of why I blog….. It’s for Him! It’s to encourage others. It’s to pour my heart out to Him with the same struggles others have. So I make sure to make settings strict, pay to keep ungodly ads off the blog, and just trust Him. If He says leave, I will leave just as obediently as I have stayed for now. - Ladies, are you excited when blogging?
Sometimes…. especially when able to share awards with others!
It allows me to share a little of God’s love! ❤ - Ladies, when is the best time for you to blog?
When the Lord is leading and allowing. When He speaks, I try to listen and obey. - Ladies, do you sometimes feel addicted to blogging?
I have experienced the stress of feeling like I needed to keep up, but then again the Lord reminds me I am not here to impress anyone, to deceive anyone, to pressure anyone, or to do anything that would take away sharing God’s love with others, or turn what is supposed to be a blessing into stress. I don’t focus on numbers, or tricks to get someone to the blog or to make them click. I write it, and leave it to God…. literally… I just leave on the page. And I leave it to deliver or post in its full format.
It’s like when someone comes to church. You don’t want to play trivia games or try to “lure” them to come back. You are to welcome, encourage, and teach in your own obedience to the Lord, and leave the rest to the Holy Spirit. It is about Jesus. Not me. Not the people. Not a denomination. Not the church. Not a religion. So make everyone opportunity God gives to just be and do what He gives YOU! 🙂

Congratulations sweet sister on your award. Your friendship and fellowship have meant a lot to me and I know to many many others as well!
I am incredibly humbled that you chose me as one of your nominees as well. 🤗 You’ve made my day! Sending love to you Gail!
I adore your answer to #10. It is amazing how much pressure we can feel to ‘keep up.’ It can be very overwhelming if we allow that voice to win in our hearts and minds. It’s just one more way the devil can take what we love and twist it into something unrecognizable. Your reminder is a valuable one. I love you for sharing this nugget of wisdom! 💕
