Receiving Encouragement to Give Encouragement!

I cannot tell you enough how wonderful and inspiring Miss Julia is over at crippledatYourtable is. I have gotten to know her over the past few months, and she leaves inspiration all over me every day! When she nominated me for the ‘Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award’, I was completely honored and so excited to be able to share her with all of you. Her heart overflows with love. Seriously it pours all over the place.

I have looked high and low for the description of this award, but haven’t found an official meaning. So to my nominees… I get to create the meaning I suppose! Just like the movie, the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, a pair of pants was passed from friend to friend that reminded them of their special bond and friendship. So, this award will be going to all of those ‘sister friends’ I have around the world. How thankful I am for each of you! You have all inspired and encouraged me!

The Rules:
1. Thank the blogger who nominated you, linking back to their site.
2. Put the award logo on your blog.
3. Answer the ten questions they have given you.

Julia’s questions for me:

1. What are you most afraid of?

Overwhelmed by Big Daddy Weave

    I love you so much, Emily! ❤ As God as my witness, there will be hugs one day!! 🙂 I needed this today, for the fact it put a smile on my face. And I have Larry's best sily songs on my phone, and pretty much any time I see tomatoes or cucumbers, I name then bob and Larry. I know, I'm 5. Haha.

        🙂 I should be jumping up and down right now, with what I just got in the mail. Instead, I’ve been sitting here crying randomly. Maybe I need some VeggieTales, too. ❤ Thank you.

        The magazine I was published in. He makes two dreams come true within two months, and my reaction is to cry. Not even tears of joy. And now, Hold Me by Jamie is playing and I’m sad. Sigh. I feel horrible I can’t even say thank you, Emily. I feel like a horrible daughter for not just responding happily.

        Hey! There are so many times in life that we can feel low and it’s okay. God knows your heart and He knows all of your situations. He has seen every second of every day and knows exactly why you have reacted the way you are. He understands and He is holding you still. Tomorrow will be a beautiful day, and maybe tomorrow we will cry happy tears for this amazing accomplishment! But today, we can sit and watch veggie tales and cry and let out all the sorrow. Love you! ❤ I'm so happy for your publishing! That is amazing!! Have you posted that poem on wordpress? I'd love to read it!
