blogger reflection award







Karen from Surviving Motherhood a dear sweet Christian sister, that the Lord has blessed me with, has given me this blogger reflection award. This is my very first award and I am so very honored! Astonished I am!

Karen said, "I love Jenileigh, not just because she says nice things to me, but because she loves her girls so much. When I am feeling frustrated with my children I can visit Jenileigh and (after I giggle at the silly pictures) renew my perspective. Her love for her girls is infectious and helps me see past the petty frustrations and realized once again how blessed I am."

I never dreamed of or even ever knew that there were such things as blogger awards when I started blogging, much less that I would ever receive one. When I began blogging it was for me a journal to keep of our life. In the beginning I had thought it would be more about homeschooling but the Lord has led me to use it as a place to share our life through Him. I share the good and the bad. I have great days and then there are those that you don't like to mention! I just open up and share what is in my heart. My girls and my precious husband they are my life. I have never planned out a blog I just sit down and allow the Lord to pour out what He wills. There are times that I myself am astonished at what I have learned and then there are times that I feel my blogs have little point. So is life. Although everything has a point even if we never realize what it is.

I also never knew that blogging would open me up to whole new world. A whole new family. A family with such love and dedication always there and always uplifting you with such support. How grateful I am that I receive many more blessings than I feel I share. God is like that though isn't He? He multiplies back to us everything we give to Him. How Great is Our God!!!

I am ever so thankful that the Lord has used me to touch my friend Karen in such a deep way. She has in return brought great encouragement and knowledge to me. Much love that I am amazed can be felt online.

Now I know I am suppose to pass this on to five other bloggers. At this time however I hope that it will be fine if I just say a mighty Thank-You. Thank-you Karen for sharing this with me. I simply haven't been blogging long enough to pass this on to five other bloggers and the few that I would send it on to already have it! So just know that I am blessed by and grateful for all of YOU!

I love how God works everything out. We have our plans, but His are always best. Thanks for allowing Him to use your blog for His glory!
Love you,
