Blog Award

EDIT//Nov 26// While nobody has complained about me linking their blog, I have removed most of the links to my friends' blogs for their privacy. In the future, no blogs will be linked unless the family has posted a button for people to grab--meaning they wish for their blog to be linked--or the blog owner has given permission for me to link their blog. Thanks for understanding.

Kelly over at trustedwithmuch.blogspot.com gave me this blog award in June, but have not been near a computer long enough to pass it on until now.

There are two rules to accepting the award:

1) Accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award and his or her blog link.

2) Pass the award to 15 other blogs.
Remember to contact the bloggers to let them know they have been chosen for this award.

Kelly picked some awesome bloggers, so I am going to pick 15 that she did not choose.

First of all, my lovely friend Alex, whom I went to school with, and whom has been a dear friend for the past almost four years...one of those people who knows almost everything about me and loves me anyways...loves to write and always has encouraging thoughts to share.

My friend Allison is currently completing her student teaching, and writes about her adventures on her blog.

My dear sister Beth who is an interior designer and writes about a little of everything.

Milena, who started a blog for my little Nadya (see previous post) and is trying to help her find her forever family. Click on Nadya's button to read more about her!

Brigitte, who adopted my other prayer warrior angel, Jacob Paul.

Jenny, who adopted sweet little Levi from the Philippines.

Christine, mother of twelve children...is an inspiration to me as I desire to have a large family, and to adopt someday.

Two of Christine's daughters: Rachel and Julia have their own blogs and so I am nominating each of them as well.

Alexandra Michaela has an amazing heart for children. She reminds me alot of myself. Keep advocating for the kids, Alex!

Kim and her husband run the children's home where I will be working this summer.

Bethany has three beautiful children, and takes amazing pictures too!

Valerie is a fellow missionary in the Philippines, and she writes about life with her husband and three adorable children.

Charissa has a real heart for orphans, as well as children with special needs. She and her husband adopted little Ava a couple years ago, and they have four other adorable children, as well.

And last...but certainly not least, my dear friend Deana, who is an author. She wrote a devotional book entitled, "I Will Give You the Rain."
