There are numerous categories for bloggers to place their link-up. I am new to the world of blogging. I am having so much fun. I love studying God's Word and sharing what I have gleaned from my own study time. There have been numerous women in my life who have inspired me in my relationship with God. I hope I can do the same for others. I am not perfect. I am just a woman who wants to know God and serve Him to the best of my ability. I have my devotional time each day. It goes something like this ~ I start my coffee brewing, head to my computer and watch the day's video from Wendy Pope. Her ministry is Walking with Women Through the Word. Her website is www.wendypope.org . After watching the video, I read from the NLT Chronological Bible. I try to find one nugget from the day...
