So I have been nominated for the Sunshine award by Brittany Laeen! Quoting Brittany’s words exactly, “This reward is for bloggers who creatively inspire others”

It was the nicest thing today to know my blog was appreciated :). Thank you so much Brittany!

I follow Brittany’s blog and you should too. Check it out here -> http://brittanylaeen.wordpress.com. She talks about love, marriage, faith and lots more of the good stuff!

When you receive the Sunshine Award, you are then given the responsibility of completing 4 simple tasks.

1. Post the logo above
2. Accept the nomination and link back to the blog that nominated you
3. Answer the ten questions in this post
4. Nominate 10 blogs and inform them of the nomination

Firstly, let me nominate the amazing bloggers that I’ve come across-

1. Favored Girl – http://journeydowntheaisle.blogspot.com – Tolulope’s blog is the one that got me interested in the world of blogs and truly inspired me to pursue my desire to write. She writes about love and her experience before she got married and after, really blessed. She’s an amazing author, if you haven’t come across her blog, do check it out. She doesn’t post much on this site because as I know she is pursuing her calling as an official author.

2. Today’s Woman – http://31todayswoman.wordpress.com – Now the Proverbs 31 woman is a high standard to fill in to, don’t we all know. Jessica puts to words her efforts towards being a Proverbs 31 wife in today’s world!

3. A Story By Me – http://astorybyme.wordpress.com – Terri writes about her faith and shares her experiences to help encourage others. So often, she posts about certain experiences or places and I feel like I’m right there with her, which is just amazing.

4. Wild Heart Scribe – http://dmariedoucette.wordpress.com – The poems, wow, it’s amazing how a few words put together can be so magical. Daphne’s had from what I can imagine a great deal of hurt and bitter experiences, but seeing her posts, I feel something beautiful has come despite it all. So cheers to that!

5. Jon Lilley – http://jonlilley.com – What’s great about this blog is this mix of faith, biblical studies, humorous posts as well as the ‘Agree or Disagree’ posts :). Am a huge fan, especially of the ‘Just for laughs’!

6. Bubbly Wise1 – http://bubblywise1.wordpress.com – I’ve come across this blog recently but the posts I have read had so much depth and encouraged me.

7. Honey Did You See That – http://honeydidyouseethat.wordpress.com – Am sure everybody loves a good laugh and Shelley has this unique ability to just make you smile and laugh as you picture all that she talks about. To me there’s not much more uplifting, than hearing a humorous experience from a friend, and that’s what this blog is to me 🙂

8. Kristinastumphhawthorne – http://kristinastumphhawthorne.wordpress.com – The interesting thing about this blog is that there were times when the words she said, seemed like something I would have said. I guess it was easy to relate to her, and so encouraging to go through as she shares her personal stories.

9. Word of the day – http://litroads.wordpress.com – This blogger shares word from Joyce Meyer – now since I absolutely love mama Joyce, I can’t get enough of these posts. Really blessed.

10. The Journey Within – http://brittanylaeen.wordpress.com. – now Brittany, I know you nominated me so this may not count, but this list would be incomplete without your blog mentioned since I have recently started following your blog and find it really inspiring 🙂

So here I go on the question/answers-
