today is my 4 year blogiversary!
4 years!!
1,460 days ago i stumbled into the blogosphere unaware that i would become a full-time resident of Blogville!
Blogging has provided for me a place to worship-
to "enter His gates with thanksgiving in my heart,"
to "enter His gates with thanksgiving in my heart,"
as i seek blog-worthy moments,
and discover and delight in the abundant life
and discover and delight in the abundant life
God has generously given me.
Blogging has created a space for the Spirit to rewrite my story,
bit by bit,
in Victory,
and in Grace.
Blogging has blessed me with community;
as i read your stories,
as i read your stories,
see glimpses of your lives,
and am inspired by you
to know Him,
to share Him,
to live in Him,
to make my life daily an offering of worship to our good God.

Happy Blogiversary!!!!
I have been so blessed through blogging and met people who have encouraged me in ways I never expected.
In fact, just about a year ago you commented on a post of mine (I said I was considering leaving my church) and you cheered me on along that journey. I never thanked you for that, but it meant the world to me.
YaY Happy Blogiversary!!
I have been blessed through others inspiring me to keep writing even when I felt fear creeping up. I am learning to trust Him in all things, even the words He gives me.
I have become a follower.
Hmmm favorite nacho topping would have to be jalapeno's! Yummy!
I just signed up to follow!
Nachos aren't complete without black olives :)
God has used blogging to help me express creativity. I lead a womens ministry called { t w i r l } and my blog is my main source of communication with my ladies. You can check it out here: twirlministries.blogspot.com
Blogging has allowed me to open up and be real about who I am and who God made me to be. It has also taught me a good deal about persevering instead of giving up. I have been blogging for about 18 months and there have been times I have wanted to just give up.. but God has pushed me on and told me to write.. and just when I am about to push the "delete" button He gives me something to write that not only shocks me but blesses someone else. This is why I blog.
i'm a new follower!
ha ha... my favorite nacho topping is beans and lots and lots of cheese!
I facebooked! :

I'm posting, but don't count me in the drawing since I already own the book. My greatest blessings through blogging have been the dear friends I have met along the way. Including you, my dear! Happy Blogiversary! :)
My greatest blessing has been meeting so many sisters. I have been so encouraged with my walk as a mommy, wife, and daughter to the King. I love it!
My favorite nacho topping besides the cheese would have to be sour cream. I could eat it everyday. Thanks for the chance.
Blogging for 4 years...wow. I can't believe it has been that long.
I used to blog everyday and then a shadow fell over me and my voice seemed silent.
Happily I am blogging again.
THanks for your encouragement my friend. I need and love you.
What was I supposed to answer?
I forgot. LOL.
I will post about your giveaway, cuz I'm a blogger...again.
Oh Nachos!!!!

Ok, I love cheese on my Nachos. Not glamorous, but hey, it isn't nachos without cheese, right?
i have been blessed through blogging to make some great online friends. also, i love that i am recording our life for my children. :)

I've been blessed through blogging by meeting so many new wonderful friends, many who I've met in real life. I can think of a few who I've only known for a few years, but it seems like a lifetime.
Happy blogiversary to you!
Just plain old nachos with cheese for me. Boring, I know!
I'm a follower!
Denise-
I don't know if you even remember me, but you've been on my heart lately and I wanted to share.
There is so much about you that I admire, so much that inspires me. I think you and I share some burdens, but you have carried them so well, and given them to God in such a way that your joy is genuine. I love that about you. It gives me hope that I will be there too. When I read your blog, I see more of who I want to be. Thank you for being you, for loving Jesus the way you do, and for being the woman that you are. Years after we first 'met', you're still affecting people with your story...thank you!
I've been blessed by the fact that I'm {slowly} coming out of my shell and writing about my life again. Reading others' blogs has been a real encouragement in that.
Following you with Google Friend Connect.
Favorite nacho topping: BBQ Chicken. Sounds weird, but Smokey Bones has these BBQ Chicken Nachos that are to DIE FOR.
Happy Blogging!
Like others, I have "met" so many new people and created some memorable friendships (my kids are pen pals with Kristen Cheney's kids)! On the otherhand, my kids say I'm "addicted" to blogs....and they might be right, I just love reading about different families, cooking & craft ideas, etc. Anyways, I so enjoy all that you bloggers do and feel that I have gained so much from all of you!

My favorite nacho topping is probably the cheese......but I LOVE a good "loaded nacho!"

I am a follower!
I have the book already, so let someone else have a chance.
Happy Blogiversary !!
Blogging has blessed me in ways I never ever would have imagined. It makes me cry to think about it.
Okay, you got me into this blogging thing because I sooo loved the title you came up with :D. I enjoy "keeping" up with people both far and near, I love the encouragement I've received through gifted writers like yourself, and I love being able to document my thoughts and my pictures.
I've ALWAYS followed you!
It is easier to tell my least favorite topping rather than my fav, jalapenos.
I've just left a post on my blog :D
I have been blessed through blogging by having been introduced to you and encouraged by you to live my life so that He is the only one honored!
Happy Blogiversary!!!
paige
and you do not have to enter me into the drawing...I have the book already!
:)
Happy Blogiversary! I stumbled upon blogging almost a year ago and I can totally relate to your feelings about it. Here's to many more happy years in the blogosphere :)
I am linking you up in my blog right now!
I sure do love that God has brought our paths together. You bless me.
Wow, blogging...I think it has blessed me most by being able to share my family with extended family, to share my love of creating with others and finding others who also are like me. It is a little bit of my peace and strength admist my life.
I follow your blog (and love you and it!)
WOW! 4 years of blogging! What a great virtual scrapbook for the kids : )
Blogging has helped me keep focus on the things that matter most to me, and keep me accountable to staying on track with being the mother, wife and woman of God that I strive to be. It also has connected me with several mentors that I cherish...such as you!! Another Denise-Shelby date day soon??
hmm..blogging is such a blessing being encouraged and convicted when i read other believers blogs. God works through EVERYTHING!

Uh Nachos....YES PLEASE! Aside from the obvious cheesy deliciousness...I'm going to have to go with grilled and saucy chicken...and sour cream! hahah ok that's two, but their perfect together!!
I have been blessed through blogging by being able to record our family's life; otherwise I wouldn't be able to keep up near as much. And, also being able to keep our far-away families updated with our little family happenings.
Favorite topping on Nachos would have to be lots and lots of cheese and black olives!!
I have been following you for quite some time!!!
