Bloggers Support Bloggers

bloggers support bloggers buttonJirah Merizz tagged me for this Bloggers Support Bloggers Challenge. #bloggerssupportbloggers. I do apologize to you Jirah. I am usually very prompt with such things but y’all know I have not been feeling the best in the word. I also want to apologize to my blogging family because I have not been as visible, or vocal in commenting. My immune system is giving me a fit. I am exhausted 90% of the time, the other 10% I am trying to catch up on life duties, family matters, chores, etc. Some days I can barely put sentences together BUT God is good, and has this, and me. Praise God! The blog, and all of you have been neglected. For that I am truly sorry. I miss all of you, and your blogs. The encouragement, your adventures, and inspiration.

Ok, back to the task at hand. Jirah was kind enough to challenge me to spread some love to our blogging family, with this Bloggers Support Bloggers Challenge. This I am happy to do :):) This is in no particular order, except for the first 2 :):) I guess I can’t say “Jirah” since she tagged me but Jirah, I love you :):)

Rules:

  1. Thank the one who has tagged you for this challenge and link their blogsite.
  2. Add the official photo in your page.
  3. List at least 5 bloggers you like. (Suggestion: You can list up 3 bloggers that you’ve known for a long time and you can also list up 2 newbies or more. It’s up to you though!)
  4. In 5 sentences or above, give a short description about why you love the blogger.
  5. Tag at least 3 bloggers to do the challenge.
  6. Put #bloggerssupportbloggers in the Tags section so whenever a blogger is looking for new blogs to read, it will be easier to find!

Blogs I love :)

Diana at La Petit Muse now, I know Jirah already mentioned her but Diana is my beloved, my girl, my Sister.  She loves me as I am, is always there for me, will never forsake me or leave me alone. Oh wait, that is God but I tell ya, Diana is right there too. I love her! She is funny, and smart. She is full of knowledge, a great writer, supporter to all of our blogging community, and loves God. Visit Diana, and you will love her too :):)

Next, is Yaskhan, also known as Yassy. I love Yassy :):) She writes me the sweetest, most beautiful poetry. Ok, she writes it for all of us hahaha but I am in love with her sweet soul. Her love for others, and her giving nature :):) Visit Yassy, read some of her wonderful poetry, and you will love Yassy too :):)

Let’s see, who is next, oh yes, Elizabeth but I call her “E” because we are cool like that. I jest, she goes by both :):) E,  at Born in Providence, doesn’t post a whole lot but I am so happy when she does :) She always has me walking away thinking.  E is uplifting, supportive, and she is always willing to help you if you need it. :):) I love E :) Visit E, and after reading a few of her posts, you will love her too :):)

Who is next, oh my yes my Jill, my Jillybean, J-dub, Jilly Jilly bo billy banana…oh sorry I got carried away. Which, by the way is allowed over at Jill’s place which is called, J-Dubs Grin and Bear it.  As always, at Jill’s, there is always more to come :):) Jill is honest, humble, caring, doesn’t sugar coat it. She has a heart as big as Texas :) Jill talks about life, the nitty gritty, the good, the bad, the ugly. And that’s why I love Jill. Give her a visit, and I bet you will too :):)

Up next we have Daily Hopeful. I love Daily Hopeful for the uplifting, motivating, hopeful messages that she does each day. Daily Hopeful shares God’s Word, and insight to how she applies God’s Word to her life. I often find that it applies to mine as well. Daily Hopeful doesn’t tell you what you should do but she has a way of helping you see how much better things are if you follow God’s will for you. I love Daily Hopeful, and if you visit with her, I am sure you will too :):)

I’d love to introduce you to Ade2, or you can call her Bisi, you might also know her as Bisimodupe1975 from femininematerz.wordpress.com. However you know her then you will know why I love her so much. Ade2 accomplished, successful, and spreads such a wonderful message of awareness. She cares about people, and it shows. I love that Ade2 doesn’t just bring up an issue that is a problem, she gives solutions to go along with it. Go see what I mean, see why I love her, and you will love Ade2 in no time :):)

This post is getting longer by the minute, maybe I should have done a bullet point (?)

Miriam from The Showers of Blessings, my goodness, what can you say about Miriam. There aren’t enough keys on the keyboard to express how wonderful Miriam is. I’m not going to even try. If you don’t know Miriam, you are missing out, so stop missing out. Go fall in love with Miriam just like I did :):)

Cherylene, over at Living vs Existing is just a bundle of positive encouragement. Every post is full of words that will pick you up, make you feel love, get you out of any funk you might be in, help you get your head on straight. If you don’t know, and love Cherylene yet, like I love her, you will :)

Sweet Dori at Celebrate His Love,  I love Dori because everyday she post a Bible verse along with an encouraging thought. So really Dori post 2 encouraging thoughts, one from God, and one from her :):) I love you Dori :):) Please, please, PLEASE visit Dori, you will love her too.

Caz at Invisibly Me, is just amazing. I love Caz because she brings awareness to issues dealing with invisible illnesses. Caz is so supportive to the whole blogging community, gives great information, and is always willing to get out on that limb to help others. You can’t help but love Caz. Go see her, and see what I am talking about :):)

Grace at Following Him Beside Still Waters, is another amazing blogger who I love. I love Grace because she loves God, takes beautiful pictures to share with us, writes wonderful poems. What’s’ not to love. If you are looking for some examples of God’s beautiful creations, well not only is Grace one of those creations but so is her blog :):)

Beholding Him Ministries is another blogger I love. She gives me God’s Word each day, and also God filled post, talking about the scripture, and how it applies to us.  I always love the insight that she provides through her post. Go and see for yourself at Beholding Him Ministries, and you will see why I love her :):)

Oh my goodness, this could go on for weeks. I can hear y’all yawning :):) I am going to streamline this and do a bullet point of all the blogs I love. You don’t need me to tell you how wonderful they are, what they write about, or why you should visit their blogs.  If you want to know why, you can comment below, and I will list the reasons :):)

I know I have missed so many more of the bloggers, and blogs that I love. Please forgive me but this post has wore me out :):) I think it is officially the longest post ever done on this blog :):)

Thanks again to Jirah who started this all by wanting to spread the love of our fellow bloggers around.

I thank God for continuing to bless every one reading this :):)

  4. Oh my… Margret you leave me speechless by your kind words. I can only blow kisses your way right now not really knowing how to respond to this😘😘 You are such a sweet soul… I felt you expressing love, passion and encouragement as you mentioned each blogger you support. I don’t know how you do it but I admire the time you spend visiting and reading other bloggers post. Just so you know I am encouraged each time you visit my page. I usually miss you and wish I could visit more often 😊 Keep shinning your light in your own little corner… You have no idea the number of lives you are a blessing to. So don’t give up if you ever feel like it and take a break when you must! Love you loads 🌹🌹 I hope I can take up this challenge of blogger support each other… Not having enough time this days because of work schedule and other tasks but I keep pushing.

    1. You have warmed my heart my dear Sister :):) I don’t know how you do all you do! But I feel very blessed that we have met, and blessed that you find time to write posts. I don’t know if you remember, it was a while back, shortly after I started this blog but you commented on one of the post. I was thinking to myself if posting the Bible verses was helpig any one and you commented and said, paraphrasing here, you said you were so thankful for this blog and that after a long day of work, and family time you looked forward to reading the verses that I had posted. It was as if God used you to confirm to me that, yes, this was helping someone. :):):) That comment meant the world to me just like this comment you left here. Big hugs, kisses, and love Sister. I thank God for always blessing you :):)

  5. Margaret, I feel so blessed that you shared this–so much support for this community of passionate and caring individuals. I am also so grateful (and flattered) to see my page shared–many thanks to you.
    It pains me to read your struggles with your health and immune system. How closely I can relate to the overwhelming fatigue followed (in the 10%) by a scramble to catch up and take care of the day-to-day necessities. Your perseverance and ability to manage life throughout this difficulty is remarkable; and I wish you all the wellness–the goodness–that you give to those around you. And for that, there is no need for you to apologize.
    Thank you, again. God bless.
    Warm thoughts to you :) xx

      Thank you for the well wishes, my friend. With God, all things are possible, and He has put in front of me, people like yourself that encourage me and confirm that truth that all things are possible :):)

      1. I saw and loved how God had your heart just pouring out His love on others! It was AWESOME! The longer the list went, the more excited I got, and my smile grew bigger and bigger! :) Then imagine my joy, and my humbled heart… not just to see my name included in your outpouring, but to read your God filled words! <3 His Word is ALWAYS the most touching! Thank you for your kindness! May He always be what anyone ever sees in me! Me and God cherish you, Margaret!

      2. :):):) I knew if anyone would appreciate that reference that it would be you :):):) Yes, yes, yes, HIS love pouring out, hallelujah! Anything good, nice, kind, loving that comes out of me, or from my general direction is ALL God. I am none of those things except for Him. Praise God :):):) And it makes me feel uncomfortable when people say those things because it is Him not me, and I feel like He isn’t getting the Glory that belongs to Him, when it directed at me. Praise God for all. He is everything!

      3. I completely understand! That’s Him giving us that spirit… as it should be! We can still say “It’s all Him.” “He makes it possible” and so many other things the Lord gives us. It is such a treasure to have someone who gets that because they are the same way! It’s Him! It’s all Him! ;)

    1. You are so sweet and one of the many reasons I love you and your blog. That love reads through each post. You are always saving things that would otherwise be lost forever, giving them love, and making them all new again. Then the cycle begins again. The beautiful things that you recreated are now loved once more. What is more beautiful than that? I am so thankful for your words about me. That is proof of God right there because if you see all that in me, that is truly proof of God :):) I thank God for always blessing you and your family. And thank you for the prayers, they are worth everything :):)

  23. Mags, (we’re on the next level now) this is so great! I’m following a fresh bouquet of writing wildflowers. Dori was the name of my very first car which I bought after my divorce; a little blue Honda Civic who told me every day to just keep swimming. I’m excited to read all these great new writers. Hoping to post more over the next week off; staycations are the best. I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling exhausted and battle your body. I had adrenal fatigue a year ago and was so tired I couldn’t sleep and cried like a small child at little tasks like brushing my teeth. Holy Basil (aka tulsi) was one of the most helpful things I took. Let me know if you want more info otherwise know you have my prayers. He’s got you. ❤️

    1. Oh this makes me happy, all of it :):) the doctor says it’s Epstein Barr. My body has decided it is the enemy and is furiously trying to kill it, and has been since late last year. My normal anti bodies for it should be a negative 18, mine are positive 319. Which he said is high. My vitamin D is none existant which makes sense since it feeds my immune system. BUT he said the good news is the rest of my blood work is like a teenager hahaha Matter of fact his exact words were, are you happy? Because you are going to live forever hahaha My reply, so, what you’re saying is I’m going to live forever, I’m just going to feel like poo :):):) Love you Sister, and love your prayers and all the advice you are willing to bless me with :):)

      1. Ugh. And there’s hope. I know about this Epstein guy and he’s a jerk. Thankfully you’ve got an eternal teenager and Jesus in you so it’ll be fine. Can you take vitamin d supplements? Methylated D dissolves under your tongue and is supposed to not upset sensitive stomachs. My d is also missing. I’ll put out an APB, meanwhile there are also liquid d drops for infants. I bought some but chickened out. Let’s pray and try it together. Holy Basil is an adaptogen; meaning…I don’t know exactly but it’s a kind of Basil that boosts immunity, cures acne, fights inflammation, reduces anxiety, supports the adrenal gland (which makes stress juice which is very bad when there’s too much) oh and freshens breath. I take it two to three times a day and it has also healed the pain in my breast fibroids which: Amen because the cabbage bra wasn’t pretty. B Complex and Emergency C are also great friends for stress, immunity and replacing water soluble essential vitamin and minerals. Epstein doesn’t like zinc so for desert try a half a can of pumpkin purée with your favorite sweetener, pumpkin pie spice and raisins if you’re feeling crazy. Warm it up in the microwave, mmmm. I eat mine with a baby spoon because I think it tastes more dessert-y. The rest of the pumpkin can be used in a face mask. You’ll be glowing. :)

Things I eat normally but had been craving, and eating lots more than usual. God made us so our bodies just know. Doc put me on a d suppliment it hasn’t made me sick but he put me on a low dose because I am sonsensitive to everything. I’ve been getting in the sun as much as possible, so I can get it that way too. But I will look into all of your wonderful suggestions. I God for you :)

      2. hahaha well you never have to worry about writing a post like that if I mention you dear Sister. I always skip the nominations, and just nominate anyone who wants to participate hahaha. I wouldn’t do the tags/awards/challenges at first. Then I felt bad, and realized it was just another chance to talk about God :):) When I first started doing the tags/awards/challenges, and I nominated anyone they ALL said no, and when I say ALL I mean literally ALL. There was one or 2 people who did it but the other dozen or so didn’t hahahaha. Which is perfectly fine but I decided I didn’t want to make anyone feel uncomfortable. So, I just stick at the end of the post, “anyone who wants to participate is nominated” :):) takes the pressure of me and them :):) You are right about the work. I am pretty sure that is the longest post ever done on the blog :):):)
