This week for my Sharing His Beauty Link-up post, I thought I’d give a little shout-out to you! I love how each week this little community is sharing and encouraging one other through what God has placed on your hearts to write. Thank you for coming here each week and posting!

Even though the link-up is not a contest, I wanted to call your attention to the two most clicked-on posts of last week. The first was “Can You See the Mountain” from Sharon at Sharon Sharing God. If you’ve never had a chance to visit Sharon’s blog, I encourage you to do so! Her quick wit and humorous stories as she shares God's word are always encouraging and sure to put a smile on your face. Next, was “Give Up, Give In, and Submit” from Laura Hicks. At Laura's blog she writes about ordinary moments while serving our extraordinary God! Her latest post wrestles with hidden aspects of our personalities and how we are actually stronger than we think when we submit our lives to the Lord.

There were many other posts that inspired me and helped keep my eyes focused on the Lord this week. When we share God’s word, we can be sure that it touches exactly whom God intended to reach. 

“It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it.” (Isaiah 55:11) 

 So, as you link up today, please be sure to visit one or two of the blogs listed. You never know what word God may have for you!

Have a beautiful week!
Joan

  2. Hi, Joan! I also love reading some of the awesome posts that link-up here! Wish I had time to read them all, but there are SO many!! Since becoming blogger, I have gotten to know some wonderful ladies(including yourself!), but I also have been so encouraged and often learn some Biblical truths that I needed to hear, in order to grow spiritually. Love you all and am so grateful for the blogesphere of godly women!! Have a blessed week, my friend!

    1. Getting to know other bloggers has been one of my greatest blessings since starting this blog almost 6 years ago. (I'm so glad to have met you IRL and consider you a great friend!!) And you're right... so often we hear just the exact Biblical truth that we needed to hear when we click on a link and read an inspirational blog post written by those who write for Jesus! What a joy it is! Thanks for linking up!

      Blessings, Joan
