I could use your help. I am trying to survey as many women as possible to find out what ten struggles they face as a Christian woman. If you have a few minutes, I would love your input on my blog in regards to the ten struggles that Christian women face. Thank you!

Please pass the information on to your friends as well.

Bobbie, I love your blog.
Sharing favorite recipes is great fun, and me being the "recipe buff" that I am, I will be back to visit often.

I also enjoy reading your comments on Rachel's Bible study blog. We have such a wonderul group of gals in our group. I'll bet that a lot of lasting friendships will be formed as well as many "hurting hearts" healed.

I actually clicked on your name to see if you were my youngest daughter joining in the Bible study and planning to surprise me!LOL

Glad I checked it out and found your delightful blog.

Blessings. Karyl <*////><
