I was nominated for the Liebster Award!

I just happen to look on my Facebook page for my Blog and saw that Olivia Shaw from Viki & Livi had nominated me for the Liebster Award! I was so honored! Thank you so much Olivia, it really means a lot to me to be nominated for this Award. You should head over and check out their blog. They have some amazing recipes on there that I may be trying out soon! The Liebster Award is for blogs that have under 200 followers and blogs are nominated by other bloggers. 

I have answered 11 questions that she passed on to me below. Then I will nominate 11 other blogs and give them 11 questions to answer as well. Hope you enjoy!



1. How did you decide on the title of your blog? 
~ It is based on a poem I wrote back in High School when I was feeling depressed. It has so much meaning to me. I felt so Broken. I was already a Christian, but I was doing some back sliding. The poem just poured out of me one day and it seemed like it began a healing process for me. I was Broken, but I knew Jesus was my Remedy.

2. What one word sums up the heart of your blog and why?
 ~Light, I want to be a Light for the Lord. As you see when you first come on my blog page, Matthew 5:16 “ Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven”.

3. What's your favorite pastime other than blogging?
 ~Reading, I love to read. Just finding time to do so is hard sometimes.

4. What is your favorite aspect of blogging?
 ~Knowing that I can reach people all around the world.

5. Which recipe, project, or idea on my blog would you most like to try yourself? 
~I would love to try the Cinnamon and Brown Sugar Banana Bread. I love regular Banana bread, I also love Cinnamon. So I know I would love the recipe!

6. Where does your blog inspiration come from? 
~Reading the Bible, The Lord, and little things I pick up on a daily basis.

7. What is one country in the world you would like to visit? Why?
~Australia, I’ve just always wanted to go there. For one thing I really like their accents. I would also like to visit Hillsong Church.

8. If you have children, what are their names? If not, what are your favorite boy & girl names?
~I’m pregnant with our first child now. We have Bethany Ruth picked out if it’s a girl and Josiah Dale if it’s a boy.

9. A long lost relative leaves you a large sum of money. What do you do with it?
~First off pay off all of our debt. Then I would help all the people that I could. Also would probably buy a bigger home for our growing family. Nothing fancy, just humble.

10. In your opinion, what is the best blog post you've written so far? (Include the link!)
~Teen Girl Series: Fearfully and Wonderfully made.

Pregnancy Post

Just decided to post some of my baby bump pictures, since I haven't posted anything in a while. So far my pregnancy has gone great, other than the horrible UTI I had for over a week. All that is over with now, Thank the Lord. Other than that I have not been sick or anything, which I also Thank God for! Our baby is growing so fast and is healthy as far as we can tell. We can't wait to find out if its a boy or a girl! I will keep updating my blog to let everyone know. So I guess I will be doing some pregnancy blogs here and there. So....Here are the pictures...

First Bump Picture.

Sorry for my Absence

Sorry I haven't posted anything for a while. These past few months have been a whirlwind. I lost my grandmother at the end of August. The day I came home from her funeral, I found out I was PREGNANT! Which is so awesome, me and my husband have been wanting this for a long time. I just hate my grandma will not be here to see our baby. After that things got busy, then the past two weeks I have faced some bad issues. I ended up in the ER one night, found out I had a bad UTI. I had been dealing with it all week, but it didn't show up at my other doctor appointments I had earlier that week. Oh and the Baby is doing good, we are very Thankful. So that's pretty much been my past few months. Hope everyone is doing good. I plan on trying to post more blogs soon. God Bless
