Rodney Olsen over at The Journey has started an award to give to those who we think deserve to be noted. Rodney describes the award as:

Want to highlight someone making a positive difference?

Is there a blogger who deserves a pat on the back or simply something that has you feeling thankful this week?

The blogosphere can sometimes be a pretty negative place so I reckon it’s great to make a habit of accentuating the positive.

I would like to give this award to two people in the same post. Firstly, to Carol Wilson. Carol has been battling cancer for a while now and posts most days. She writes often about her struggles, the lessons God is teaching her and what its like to live with cancer. She works for the same mission we do - SIM editing the magazine. Carol, your postitive attitude and belief in FROGging (Fully Rely On God) is inspirational!!

Secondly, I always enjoy reading what Suzy Shipman over at Diuranta has to say. She shares her thoughts about life as a mother. Suzy is involved in different charities as well including running the Race For Life and fundraising in her workplace regularly! Suzy, you are also inspirational and I always enjoy reading your blog.

So, thats two thumbs up from me! Thank you Carol and Suzy.

Aww thank you Amanda - that is so nice of you :)

marianne Says:

Hi Amanda, I’m surfed in via Keith’s Under the Acacias (and I’m a regular reader of Rodney’s The Journey too).
I notice that you have a link in your sidebar to Go! Reachout. Are you affiliated to or have you attended the camp? I’m just wondering since it does sound like something I’m interested in but have never heard about before. Any info (other than that on the website) would be great! Thanks!

Molly Says:

Marianne,
I’ve answered your questions over on your blog.

Molly Says:

Suzy - you’re welcome!

Sarah Says:

Hi Amanda, just a random question…how come you’re called Molly when you comment on your blog?

carol wilson Says:

Oh, you dear! Thanks so much for the award. What a grand idea. I’m grateful.
Thanks also for highlighting Sahel’s video. Since Steve came on board to coordinate SIM’s communication efforts, so many good video products have been developed and are gradually being posted. It’s so good to have him.
Love, Carol

Molly Says:

Sarah - I think its because my sign in name at some point was Molly (which is another name for Amanda).

Carol - no worries, the video was done really well. I’ll be highlighting a few more of these over time too. Oh , and you are most deserving of this award too!

Nancy DeValve Says:

Hi Amanda, I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. A few days ago I saw your latest posts from August. Now there are no August posts…at least not that I can see. What am I doing wrong that I can’t see past July?

Nancy DeValve Says:

Amanda, I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong, but a few days ago I could see posts from August and now I can’t. Any suggestions for me so I can see your current posts?
