Something to Think About
Go... Make a Difference

Let us not become weary in doing
good, for at the proper time we will
reap a harvest if we do not give up.

Fingerprint Friday: Blogiversaries

By MAD21

So today, April 23rd, 2010 marks the one year anniversary of this blog. It has been a crazy year of learning, growing, stretching, falling, crying, getting up-ing, and laughing again. Within this year I have worked with some amazing people, and some not so amazing (like web designers who take your money and run), and I have formed some really great friendships.

I want to say thank you to all of these people who have helped to get this blog to it's first year anniversary. People who have contributed some fabulous posts to help make this site a success. I couldn't have done this without your hard work and support.

First to my hubby, without whom this site would literally not exist, but also for all your great tech articles, and loving support for this project.

Erika at Random Musings and the Occasional Insight (Young Adult)

Kelly at Living is Simple (Young Adult)

Megan at Steps for Brady (Parenting and Family Life)

Kevin at Shooting the Breeze (Parenting and Family Life)

Peter at Rediscovering the Church (Parenting and Family LIfe)

Heather at Balance with Purpose (Finances)

Candy at Steele the Day (Health and Nutrition)

Michelle at Grace, Faith in the Everyday (Family Life)

Chuck at Sharing Compassion (Compassion, Making a Difference)

Bridget at One Word at a Time

Sarah at Living Between the Lines

And to my other friends who do not have blogs of their own, but took the time to write some great posts:

     Jason (From the Heart)

     Roger (Parenting)

     Renee (Basics of Life)

     Brian (Finances)

     Pat (Devotionals)

     Sandy (Homeschool)

     Beth (Year of the Birthday)

     Lara (Year of the Birthday)

     Mallory (Young Adult)

     Our favorite teens...you know who you are :o) (Teens)

In looking back, it's hard to narrow down which posts are my favorite (especially when there are over 500 posts to choose from!). But here are a few:

I can't believe how fast this year has gone by. This blog is definitely covered in the fingerprints of God. I pray that it continues to bless those of you who contribute posts, as well as those of you who come to read them. I pray that it continues to Make a Difference in your lives.

Fellow blogger Beki at The Rusted Chain has a really great weekly post she does every Friday called "Fingerprint Friday." We are to look around and see where we can see God's fingerprints. Is it in nature? Kids? Animals? Anywhere? Go find out where Beki saw God this week, and be sure to check out the other bloggers who linked their stories as well.
