The Barnabas Award #2
Once more, one of my favorite blogging friends has nominated me for this prestigious Barnabas Award.
This is one of the best award in the blogging world.
Therefore, I give the Lord thanks and praise for allowing my big brother Matt of Jesusluvsall blog to nominate me.
Lord, I thank you for this dedicated man of God whom you have chosen to minister your Word to many people.
Lord, I thank you that before the foundation of the world you chose and created Matt for such a time as this.
He has been giving selflessly of himslef to help many people who are in need for many years.
So, today, Lord I pray that you will give him the desires of his heart.
I pray that you will bless him with health and long life and you will pour afresh on him a rich anointing of your Holy Spirit.
Lord, strengthen Matt with power when he is weak and give him wisdom and understanding to continue the great work that you have called him to do.
In Jesus name, Amen.
The way this Award works:
Thank the person who nominated you, and share their blog.
Think of five bloggers that encourage and inspire you and nominate them.
List five things about yourself.
Lastly, ask your nominees five questions. Why five? Because five is the number that signifies grace.
5 Things About Me
1. I am a Jamaican who reside in the British Virgin Islands for the past nineteen years.
2. I have been working as a Medical Imaging Technologist for over thirty years. It is my desire to retire and write full time.
3. I enjoyed studying and sharing the Word of God.
4. I love the Lord. He has been a Father to me throughout my younger days when I lost my earthly father. Now He is a husband to me since I became a widow.
5. I love to travel, but I do not like flying.
Answer the five questions about yourself.
My answers remained the same as the last Barnabas nomination.
1) Who in your life is your biggest encourager?
My biggest encourager was my mother. She has passed away, but I can still remember her words of encouragement to me.
2) How do you see yourself as being encouragement to others?
This blog is my main source to encourage others. However, whenever my path cross with anyone I tried to encourage them as best as I can.
3) When was the last time someone gave you words of encouragement?
Every day from all of you guys who are part of this wonderful blogging community.
4) When you are down, what encourages you to get back up and keep pressing on?
The Word of God.
5) Who was your greatest encourager when you first accepted Christ?
My mother. Her love for God and deep faith has been the greatest legacy that she left me.
