Welcome friends to another edition of The Friday Five, where I share five inspiring posts that I read while blog hopping this week. It’s a small attempt at shining the light on the many talented bloggers.
The Seeker of Shards by Karen at Hallelujah Now shares a very touching piece about brokenness.
Have you ever been plagued with the what ifs after making a decision? Bernadine shares Second Chances at Lace With Grace.
Do you ever consider what type of light your casting off. LaVonne does a nifty job of showing us how it’s better to be a lighthouse than disco lights in Hidden Light.
We all have had those habits that we would love to break and at times we find ourselves slipping back into some we thought we had lone past. I like the how LaToya honestly shares about her recent struggle in The Cussin’ Christian.
I recently came across a new blog The Word of a Nerd where Charity blogs. In her post, Devaluing Men: Part One she shares how an absentee father skewed her view of men in general.
It’s A Friday Five Fellowship
Each of us need encouragement from time to time. And I can’t tell you just how surprising and encouraging it was to come across a post from Jackie at God Brought Me Here for A Reason where she decided to join my quest to share her inspirational reads. To honor her efforts, I decided to create a link to allow each of you to either share something your read recently or a post that you wrote.
What are you waiting get linked up and share some your favorites this week!
Jackie says
Thanks Wanda! 🙂
Wanda says
I should be thanking you Jackie. I can’t tell you just how I was surprised and honored to see your post. That brought a smile to my face after a hard day. Hope you have a great weekend.
Cynthia says
Hi Wanda! This is a wonderful idea! I shared a post from January 2013, that is close to my heart. We are quick to say, “yes,” for the wrong reasons, which is something to ponder and change. Take care and thank you, for this wonderful link-up party!
Wanda says
Oh I’m guilty of saying yes too quick at times too Cynthia. I appreciate you joining the link-up. Hope your Friday is a great one.
Denise says
Love this Wanda; thanks for the invitation to share! I will try a little harder next time to share other inspirational posts (and do a better job displaying them-hehe!)
Have a weekend full of hugs and love!
Denise
Wanda says
It’s no pressure Denise. Glad to have join the fun.
Nikki (Sarah) says
sounds like neat blogs….inspirational ones. Will have to check them out. Wanda…wishing you a beautiful Friday.
Wanda says
Thanks Nikki, we are having a rainy Friday here in Arkansas but it’s beautiful nonetheless. Hope you enjoy a wonderful weekend. And thanks for linking up.
LaVonne says
Thanks for the love and the mention, Wanda. I believe my first assignment is to read ‘The Cussin’ Christian.’ Help me, Lord! One blog (http://theartinlife.wordpress.com/) that really touched something in me this week was titled, “My Husband Is Not My Soulmate” (http://theartinlife.wordpress.com/2013/07/22/my-husband-is-not-my-soul-mate/). I believe it is honest and heartfelt read for anyone, whether married, unmarried, never plan to be married or perpetually up in tangles over this relationship or that. It is a great reminder that we are not directionless wanderers.
Wanda says
My pleasure to share LaVonne. You know always leave pondering when I read your writing. Oh I must check out your recommendation. Relationships really intrigue me.
denise says
Enjoyed these shares.
Wanda says
Glad you did Denise. Blessings
Karen says
Thank you for the shout-out, Wanda…it is an honor to be linked on your blog! I will be sure and visit the other links and check them out…
This week I read a post that both touched and convicted me. It brought to mind the situation of a loved one, and at the same time, convicted me in my dealings with others…I will share it in your linkup…
Have a great weekend!
Wanda says
My pleasure to feature your post Karen and thanks for sharing in the link-up. Hope you enjoy a great weekend.
Bernadine says
Thanks for the shout out Wanda. It was a pleasant surprise today. I’m going to check out the others that you shared. Have a great weekend.
Wanda says
Happy I could bring you a little surprise Bernadine. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Sharon says
This was a great idea, Wanda. Thanks for inviting me to link up.
I clicked on over to the post that Karen shared – the one with the picture of the Listerine. Oh boy, was it ever good. Very convicting and challenging – but a message about love that I think we all need to hear.
GOD BLESS!
Wanda says
That really was a good article Karen shared. Hope you’re enjoying a wonderful weekend Sharon.
hazel Moon says
Thanks for hosting, I came across your lovely site due to a blogger friend. God is always listening, watching, and speaking all in his time.

Hi Rhapsody, I had to retrieve your message from my spam folder. It seems to go there whenever someone posts multiple links. It’s my pleasure feature inspirational reads. I have had various adverts on the blog for some time now. I simply move the position of them.
Susan Wachtel says
Hello Wanda, thank you for the invite to participate. I am very late, but still wanted to post an article. Thanks for opening up your Friday Five for other people to share with.
Hope you are doing well on this Lord’s day. I look forward to looking at the website you have highlighted.
Blessings in Christ…Susan
