girl talk book club.
hahaha.... okay, so this is kinda fun....
on a daily basis, i read this lovely blog written by four godly women (CJ Mahaney's wife, Carolyn and their 3 daughters, Janelle, Nicole and Kristin).
their blog is always a source of enjoyment and refreshment for me to read. Lately, they've been doing a weekly book club series on one of my favourite books, Twelve Extraordinary Women by John MacArthur. Every week, they pose a question, and people from all over send in their answers. Each week, they choose one of the responses and that person is the winner of the week.
Two weeks ago, they posed the question, of all the women we've studied, whose life has encouraged you the most, and why?
I had a little time on my hands, so i sent in a little response. It wasn't anything big, and i hardly considered it worthy of anything special. So, when i didn't win, i wasn't disappointed. Rather, i was glad that i had spent time considering the lives of the twelve women and thinking about how each one had encouraged me. i was especially glad to think over the life of Lydia, the woman my parents named me after.
Anyways, i thought it was particularly funny when they asked the final girltalk question, which was, in what ways did Lydia's life inspire you? This was exactly what i had submitted to them a week earlier!
Funny enough (and probably not so coincidentally either), i checked their blog this afternoon...and lo and behold..
i'm this week's winner!
hahahah.
thats pretty sweet.

That's awesome, Lydia! :) I also read this blog daily, and just got my hands on a copy of "Twelve Extraordinary Women", and also got a copy of it for Pri, for her birthday. I haven't given it to her yet, so if she reads this, oh well!
Congrats Lyds. That was very special *
