Thanks for visiting my blog...and linking to mine on yours! I actually attended "She Speaks" in 2005 and Charlene was the leader of my evaluation group. I'm so excited how the Lord has led for me to return this year and take the writer's track.

I look forward to coming back and visiting your blog again.
Have a great weekend,
Joy

I love this list. I have seen it before on other blogs but I think today on your blog it touched my heart in a special way b/c I knew you 10 years ago!! That was the season of life the God knit our hearts together in friendship. Isn't it amazing what He has done in our lives in 10 years? I am going to do this on my blog this week. I think it will be most fun for me to think about all my 5 things!

Hugs and Happy Monday!
