Deborah from Chocolate and Coffee gave me this award, she said:
Laurel at Laurel Wreath Reflections is such an encouragement to women. God is truly using her to speak into the lives of women in blog world.
I have to say she hit me at a weak moment. This was my response to her:
Ok you win the “She made Laurel totally speechless today” award.
Deborah seriously, this morning I spent my quiet time telling the Lord how much I mess up and make a mockery of His grace. There are some days (weeks, etc..) that you feel like you just travel from one sin to the next. And you wonder why God puts up with you.
Then you pass this award on to me and tell me I am an encouragement to women. I could just sit down and bawl right now.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Better go find a tissue. Thank you.
Here are a few (out of many) who lift me up:
DeeDee at It Coulda’ Been Worse - not only does she make me laugh daily, and I think of her whenever I am poping zits or rinsing my mouth with hydrogen properoxide she has been an encouager and cheerleader for me.
Barb at A Chelsea Morning is a huge encourager for me. She makes me believe I could acutally make a blanket out of my two hands while fermenting in my kitchen all at the same time.
Rachel Anne at Home Sanctuary makes me feel like I could paint like a pro if only I use blue tape, and makes it seem normal to have a donkey as a regular pet.
The three of you daily lift me up, thank you!!!

How very nice, Laurel. What a nice award and it just made my day to see that you’ve given it to me.
I don’t know Rachel Ann but it’s an honor to be in the same company as DeeDee.
It always surprises me when someone says I lift them up - sometimes if feels like it takes all my energy to keep MYSELF up!
Thank you, sweet friend. xoxoxo
You my friend are so deserving of this! You are an inspiration to me. You have the gift of encouragement!
And thank you for bestowing the honor on me. You made my day.
I adore Barb as well. I’ll have to go check out Rachel Ann!
Well! I am completely speechless. What a sweet, nice, kind, thoughtful thing to do! Thank you for the honor, and I must say thank you for putting me in such fine company. You definitely made my day.
You are an incredible encourager…you light up your corner of blogland–and everyone elses.
Congratulations, my sweet friend. I think that you are huge encouragement to many women out there. And you know why? Because you do mess up AND you admit it.
I agree, Laurel, you are an encouragement!
