Happy Blogoversary.....to ME! ;)

So on the actual day of my blogoversary, April 16th, I forgot! #EpicFail

However, since it is still April....I know, it's the last day....I thought I would honor that "momentous" occasion by sharing some of my favorite posts AND some of YOUR favorite posts.

{May 2010}

My blogging got a slow start as I was figuring out what I wanted to write about and what message I wanted to "get out there", so I didn't have a lot of post those first two months, but then in June...

Here is one that I feel really got me started in sharing my heart for people....

How God Loves The Muslim People

and how much I love working with kids and how they put life in perspective....

From the Mouth of Babes....Bye, Bye, Jonah Day!

Last year, due to health issues and dealing with the underlying emotions that the Haiti earthquake had left in my heart as well as the whole "trying to conceive" deal, I really felt like the Lord was prompting me to write a 30 day series on hope.

Here is the first day....

30 Days of Hope: Day One

....and this one about a great love story....

Day 9 - No Ordinary Love Story

....and this one is about courage....

Day 13 - Get Your Courage Back

....on growing up....

Day 21 - It's Hard Being A Grown Up

Finally, by August, near the end of my 30 days, I was finally able to share a bit about the impact that the earthquake had on me and my family....

Day 24 - Haiti Earthquake, Part 1

Day 25 - Haiti Earthquake, Part 2

and finally, I shared some of my own dreams.....

Day 29 - My Dreams, Part 1

Day 30, My Dreams, Part 2

And then for better or worse, I shared a few of my obsessions

What is My Obsession? - Part 1

What is my Obsession? - Part 2

In September, I shared about how we had to make the difficult decision of taking some time off from full time ministry and leave South Africa.

A Bittersweet Symphony

Farewell to the Faces of South Africa

A Season of Transitioning

Another Chapter Ends

It took a few months to figure things out and to get A LOT of needed rest, so my little blog here was quite neglected during that time, but the new year brought new promise and renewed vision.

Those Who Dream

One Word 2011

These are just a few of my favorites over the past couple of months

I See Their Faces

I Know Your Pain

The Love Bandit

We'll Be Okay

When God Writes Your Story

You Are NOT Abandoned

Seeing From the Inside Out

What My Mama Taught Me

What If Blessings Come In Disguise?

A Reminder of His Grace

I also joined up with some amazing bloggers & women this year. This is a sample of some of my link-ups with them....

The Day A Letter Set Me Free - Faith Barista & Mama's Losin' It

Five Minute Friday: The Power of a Woman - The Gypsy Mama

Multitude Monday: Going Home - A Holy Experience

Wordless Wednesday: Downtown Retro Valentine - WW & many others

Okay, so that is kind of a lot! I would love for you to check a few out and let me know what you think. Maybe you have had a favorite that I didn't include....won't you let me know?

I have SO enjoyed all of the new friends that I have made in this blog world and I look forward to many more posts and connections to come!!
