Love, love, love...Day 7 and yet again another great giveaway!

So, today you will be visiting Kelly at Sufficient Grace Ministries for a terrific blog post on love. As with all of these mothers, I have never met Kelly.  I feel like I know her though.  She writes so openly and freely.  She has a wonderful heart for Jesus.  Her love post today is so wonderful.  Kelly is also having a really great giveaway.  So, make sure you hop on over to her blog and be blessed. Thank you Kelly for sharing today. 

Thank you so much for your prayers for me and Amelia.  I woke up feeling somewhat better today and hope that it continues.  I think I am going to turn into a cranberry.  If it helps....well I'll just be a cranberry! I'm holding off on calling the doctor right now.  Thanks again!

Much love,

Who doesn't love to talk about love? Day 6 and a giveaway!

Today's love blog was written by a mother whose blog I have never visited before.  I promise you I will be visiting again.  She really inspired me today.  Hop on over to Heidi's blog to be inspired yourself. 

Also, Mattie is having a giveaway today.  If you have not read the book she is giving away, you should check it out. I read it in a day.  I just could not put it down.

Thank you anonymous for posting a poem also!  I love it when other's play along!  I saw your heart in your poem.  It was evident that your focus is where it should be...in the Lord! So thanks again!

I would also like to ask for prayer for myself and Miss Amelia.  I have been feeling like I am developing a UTI for the last two days.  I called the doctor on call yesterday and he suggested I go to urgent care and let them run a simple test to see what was going on.  I went to urgent care yesterday and the doctor there said everything according to the test looked good.  Well, I am still having some discomfort.  I have been drinking plenty of cranberry juice and water.  If it continues, I will call my doctor tomorrow.  As I learned with my pregnancy with Eli, a UTI can irritate the uterus and cause contractions.  I do not want that.  So please pray that whatever is going on will clear up.  I am in week 31 of my pregnancy and it is just too soon for contractions.
Much love,

Lovefest: Day 5 and a giveaway!

I'm pretty sure Lori, who wrote today's love blog had a hard time tearing herself away from her brand new and so stinking cute little guy, Luke to write for us.  I was so blessed by her words and I know you will be also! Lori is also having a giveaway on her blog today thru Sunday night.  If you love Thirty-one goodies make sure to hop on over and leave her a comment.

I really am enjoying all of these lovely blog posts! Thanks to lovely Marie and my super sweet hubbie for adding to my poems! Marie, I loved yours! Jamie I laughed out loud at yours (You know me so well, don't you!).

Much love,

Lovefest day: 4

Today you will be so blessed to read Lissette's blog.  She shares her love for her family so beautifully in her post.  Thank you Lissette for sharing with us today. 

I was so completely bummed that there were no takers on my poem challenge.  That's alright, I'll post mine anyway and if you still want to share you can in the comments section of this post or yesterday's.  I still love you guys! If you are like me you have been way busy!  I'll share with you later about the concert I went to last night.  Just a hint...Kerrie Roberts, Jason Gray, 33 Miles, Building 429... tired today...can't get moving. Well, I digress.  Without further delay I will post my poem.

Lost in the joy with
Openness abounding even through
Valleys and on top of peeks
Everlasting affection remains.

Alright, now your turn! The challenge remains!  I'm just determined...or stubborn...or I just can't let things go. You'd have to ask Jamie which one it true, but then again maybe not because as I said...I just can't let things go.

Much love,

You guessed it!  It is an acrostic poem.  Leave your poem in the comments section of this blog post.  I can not wait to see what you come up with! I'll post my poem tomorrow! Now go...hop on over to these sweet ladies and show some love. 

You can get to these blogs in one of two ways.  You can click on the button on my sidebar or you can just click on the person's name. I have created a link that will take you directly to whatever page you want to visit. Hope this helps. I had a question about how to get to specific pages.

Much love,
