I'm linking up today with The Influence Network. I attended their conference last year, which was wonderful, and I am hoping to attend later this year again. If you're visiting for the first time from the linkup, welcome!
So, we were supposed to post a photo of ourselves that we like. I tend to be really picky when it comes to photographs of myself which I think many of us are, but I actually do like this one. I'm the girl on the left and the girl on the right is my friend Sarah. We've only known each other a year, but I feel like I've known her forever. This was taken at another friend's house during our Halloween party which explains my cat ears and whiskers. :) This photo reminds me of good friends and a wonderful fall weekend.
Share 3 Get-To-Know-Me Things:
1) I am not a morning person, especially during the wintertime. It takes all of my willpower to force myself out of my bed when it's dark and cold outside.
2) I would love to freelance write for a Christian publication.
3) Listening to Vince Gill can help me feel a little better when I'm sad, so I've been listening to him a lot lately.
What have I gained from the Influence Network?
One of the best things I've gained from becoming involved with the Influence Network is relationships with other bloggers. I didn't really know other bloggers that well before attending the conference and now I've gained some friendships with people that I can learn from and also get encouragement at the same time.
Now off to visit the other ladies linking up!
Brooke, I'm so sorry this is a hard season right now. I've been reading through your posts, and you have such a testimony of faith and grace in your words. Thankful for you, friend.
ReplyDeletebrooke - thanks so much for linking up! i'm sorry that this season of life is difficult.. i know i can't say 'i know how you feel' - but i can tell you that you're not along. the lord is using you in unimaginable ways and it's a blessing to get to know YOU through your posts. i'm hoping for the chance to officially meet you this year at influence! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad to meet you through Influence. Know that you have a tribe behind you, lifting you up to the Father during your time of pain.
ReplyDeleteoh i totally hear you on the mornings. i wish it was easier to get out of bed, but it is so cozy and warm!
ReplyDeletehope your heart feels better soon. whatever it is that is making you sad, the Lord knows about, and just know He is healing. xo.
I'm not a morning person either. Most days it takes about 2 hours to want to talk to anyone :) Nice to meet you Brooke!
ReplyDeleteBrooke! I love you!! So glad we met awhile back :) And AGREED on the mornings, there is a reason I woke up at noon today. Shooooot. Don't tell anyone okay? ;)
ReplyDeleteBrooke - so nice to meet you and read about your heart. SO glad you're a part of this community! ~Bri~
ReplyDeleteBrooke I've just meandered around your site a bit and am so sorry for this difficult time you're in. But trusting in God is never the wrong thing and I think you know that. I am saying a prayer for you right now -- for whatever it is that you need. He knows. Love you sister!
ReplyDeleteDon't you love it when God puts people in your life and instantly they've been there forever!?!?
ReplyDeleteSo nice to meet you!
This is my first time here, but I'm going to stick around for sure. I want to read about this season and pray with ya through it. From the sounds of the other comments, your testimony is a beautiful one, even amidst hard times. I'm glad you linked up and I hope to meet you in September!
ReplyDeleteI feel you on mornings. This winter the snooze button and I have been better friends than I even want to admit!
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful to meet you through The Influence Network! And yes, Vince Gill always makes everything better : )
ReplyDeleteI love that you went to the conference! it seems like it would be such a blast!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a morning person, either! This winter has been hard, and I'm looking forward to longer, brighter days this summer. Hope to see you again at this year's conference, Brooke!
ReplyDeleteHey Brooke! I agree 100% (if 200% were a real percentage, I'd write that) about being a morning person. Hence the comment at almost 3:00 in the morning. I should go to bed....
ReplyDeleteAny tips on branching out as a freelance writer?
so wonderful meeting you! you're such a beautiful woman! hope to meet you in september! blessings to you sweet girl in this tough season, you are shining SUCH a light right now!
ReplyDeletehey brooke! I hear you on the winter morning thing. in the summer, I have no trouble getting out of bed + starting my day, but in the winter, I just want to curl up with my jammies + my blanket and never leave. unfortunately, my eight month old doesn't feel the same way :)
ReplyDeleteI wish there was a secret to waking up early. I'm in the same boat. Actually, I wish there was a secret to staying happy in the winter! Goodness it seems long, huh? We finally have some sunshine here in MI today so I'll try to send some your way. xoxo.
ReplyDeleteok well I'm not a part of the IN crowd. But, I do like your post :) I hope you're doing ok and Vince Gill isn't needed too much this week :( you look fabulous in your picture...(I hate all photos of myself too) Have a lovely week :)
