Welcome to the Bloggy Giveaways Carnival hosted by “Bloggy Giveaways/Rocks in my Dryer“.
What is a reflection of me?!? I thought, what do I share most here and at Laced with Grace? Bible passages from the ESV Bible (which I personally use in my readings/studying His word).

…and this week’s ‘Chicks’ carnival. This week was an open theme, so you will find a wide array of topics ~ enjoy
…
- Check out Melanie’s post about eavesdropping – sure made me giggle. Especially the conversation between Max and Husband…
- Kailani is looking at the ‘Inner Betty’ in her post titled ‘Channel Your Inner Betty‘. Some great thoughts and encouragement she is sharing..
- Laurel Wreath talks about how what begins as true can lead to something false in her post ‘What began as truth is now lie‘. Wonderful words of wisdom…
- Robin at PENSIEVE had a few unexpected gifts this week; the first one was followed by a second. Be thankful, she almost included a really disgusting post for the Carnival this week, but changed her mind at the last minute
.
- Do you have real beauty? Tasra at Lessons from the Scrapbook Page shows us how to find it for ourselves and help others discover their real beauty too.
- Jennifer, at Snapshot, thinks about her angry outbursts and ponders Righteous Anger?
- Sometimes a gals just got to ‘bare‘ it all. Why don’t you join Rach at Dutch Femka and bare what your kitchen cupboards hold…
- Biker Betty’s motorcycle scavenger hunt is now over and she recounts the last few days of scurrying around to get the last few precious points. So go on over and read about her motorcycle adventures…
- Have you ever seen the Black Screen Of Death? I have, more than once. Check out Catastrophic Hard Drive Failure at Of Making Many Books to find out when and how it caused blood, tears, and worse.
- Polly at Life is a Buffet discovers she’s slowly being poisoned. Find out who the culprit was in her post, “Help, I’ve Been Poisoned!“
- Visit with Gattina from Belgium. Her entry for this week’s carnival is titled “Annex to Yesterday” and “Russia’s new rich“
- Check out who enables Linda to have a “love affair“. Believe me — it is absolutely not what you might think…fun read, indeed!
- As for your’s truly? Well, I didn’t actually write a post for this week’s carnival. But my personal favorite post I have written this past week is over at Laced with Grace, titled “He Whispers“…
- Just added – Visit Beth at Ramblings of an Undisturbed Mind and read her thoughts about her aunt’s and uncle’s 50th anniversary…
I hope you enjoyed the above posts. Thank you Michele for allowing me to host the carnival this week…Hope I didn’t miss anyone

Have a blessed and peaceful Sunday,


“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.” ~ Philippians 4:8
First I would like to thank Sallie at A Gracious Home to allow me to host this week’s Carnival of Beauty. As you know by now, Philippians is my favorite Epistle lesson in the New Testament. This week we have 8 wonderful ladies and myself joining the “Carnival Circus”. I am thrilled to announce that we have some ‘newcomers’. It is always such a blessing to find new reads, isn’t it. I hope you are as blessed as I was reading this week’s posts on the Beauty of Philippians…
- Jennifer, at Snapshot, examines her own Parenting in Philippians and remembers Who is really in control.
- Nicole, at ‘The Girl Next Door‘, talks about the peace of God that transcends all understanding she experienced when her mom was diagnosed with cancer.
- Like all growing Christians, Gina over at Portrait of a Writer…Interrupted is a WIP! A Work In Progress. And her favorite book of the Bible, Philippians, has been the perfect road map in helping her continue on her journey until the day of completion in Christ Jesus.
- Janice from 5 Minutes for Mom reflects on Paul’s Infectious Joy and her favorite way to read Philippians.
- Michele of Life Under the Sun looks at our citizenship in heaven and standing in the presence of God.
- Keziah, at A Woman who Fears the Lord, is sharing her thoughts on her favorite book ~ Philippians; probably because it was the first book she properly studied when she became a Christian. There is so much in the book, but Keziah is mainly focusing on the verses referring to joy in her post My Joy and My Crown. What is this joy that Paul is talking about?
- Over at Crickl’s Nest, Christie is remembering how a promise in the book of Philippians changed her view of God’s peace and created depth in her spiritual walk. Practicing Peace is the only option when walking through the hard times of life.
- Paul is held captive away from those he longs to encourage. Through reading his letters to the church at Philippi, Blair notes that we too can have Freedom in Chains.
- Forgiveness is the easy part for Iris at Sting My Heart. But there is a harder part than forgiveness. Read her post To Forgive is Easy about the harder part of forgiveness.
Thank you ladies for making this carnival once again a beautiful one
