Two years.
I cannot believe it has been two years.
Two years ago today, on a warm Sunday afternoon, God clearly spoke to my heart. He told me to start this blog, this ministry. As I sat down at my computer, clicking away, I had no idea how often I would blog or how long I would be blogging, yet here we are two years later. I knew my parents and grandparents would read the blog, but I am completely taken aback at the wonderful people I have "meet" through blogging. Some that I consider very, very dear friends. Shortly after starting this ministry. God birthed in me a new vision and Woman to Woman Ministries was created. I am utterly amazed at what God has done.
This ministry has helped me to count my blessings, journal what God is teaching me and be encouraged by other blogs I read and by your comments. You, my friends, are incredible. Thank you for coming to my little place in the world wide web and taking your precious time to read what God has laid on my heart. And from the bottom of my heart, thank you for your comments. They encourage me, teach me and bless me.
In celebration of our two year birthday, we have a party going on! Check it out:
As I mentioned, I have "meet" many wonderful people in this crazy blogging world. I want to introduce them to you. If you are a blogger, please help me celebrate my two years by linking up. The only rules are that the blog is family friendly and encouraging (no bashing of anything at all - those links will be removed) and that you link back to Sweet Blessings. I greatly encourage you, blogger or not, to check out as many of the blogs as you can. I know you will be blessed.
And...
We have an two incredible giveaways! One of my best friends is a Thirty-One consultant. Thirty-One is a Christian based business where you can get bags, purses and more. You can personalize your items as well. I have a couple bags and a purse and LOVE them!
