====================

I was just awarded this award!!

Mathetes is the Greek word for disciple, and the role of the disciple (per the Great Commission) is to make more disciples. I'd like to take the opportunity to award five other bloggers with this award and badge for acting in the role of a disciple of Christ. These five all share the message in their own creative ways, and I admire them all for what they do.

In the spirit of this award, the rules are simple. Winners of this award must pick five other "Disciples" to pass it on to. As you pass it on, I just ask that you mention and provide links for (1) this post as the originator of the award (Dan King of management by God), (2) the person that awarded it to you, and then (3) name and sites of the five that you believe are fulfilling the role of a disciple of Christ..."

2) This award is from Karen of Karen's Ramblings. Here are Karen's words:

"I want to pass this on to 5 others and hope that they are blessed and affirmed afresh in their callings. I have witnessed their hearts for Discipleship (via blogland)and the qualities of this Award in their characters."

"Susan - I know I am awarding you again. But you really fit here. Susan I feel has been through some deep waters; spent hours in prayer and seeking God; plus she is a woman who I believe has wept with passion for others, with love, with longing. Her heart is to reach out with truth and purity. She will not compromise the Word or her convictions and that is a beautiful quality. "

On my comments for October 3rd Karen left me this comment: "Susan, I hope you don't think I am being 'award giving' friendly, I do take serious consideration over any award I pass on, but you have so touched my heart and when I got this one 'Mathetes Award', well you came to mind and I want to encourage you that what you share, all those prayers - they are heard, valued and you are very effective in the Kingdom, you DO make a difference. Most of all though - Father just loves you, because you are wonderful YOU."

Karen, I take this award VERY SERIOUSLY and am deeply honored that you have passed it on to me. I treasure your kind words and comment.

3). As seriously as I receive this award I have given serious thought in selecting the following 5 names of my choice:

Karen - I know you've been awarded this Mathetes Award but I must give it to you again. This young woman never ceases to amaze me with her deep spiritual insight and love of Jesus. On those busy days, when there is time to read only a few blogs, I will always select Karens. I am eager to glean and learn what new message and wisdom she is passing on to us in Blogland. Her reach in being a Disciple maker is just beginning.

Jennifer - Jennifer is a blogger that truly "walks her talk". She is one of the most uncompromising bloggers that I have found. She is consistently standing for what she believes is right, honest and truth. She is the Proverbs 31 Woman. She wears many hats, and wears them all well. She is a Home School Mom extraordinaire. She maintains 4 blogs (I do well to keep up with one!!!) Jen's Pen is powerful. I am honored to call you friend and sister-in-Christ.

Stephen - I first met "Inspired" on 5/29 when he signed my guest book. stated he was from England, United Kingdom and "A sinner saved by grace." The Salems are known for the wonderful photography of the 2 BoyZ, ages 4 1/2 & 2 1/2. I have recently really gotten to "know" Stephen and his heart for not only his boyz and wife, but for his Lord, Jesus Christ. He is a true disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ. He has touched my heart and life in a very profound way.

Ginger - Sweet, is the first word that comes to mind when you think of Ginger because of her gentle, caring ways and words. But underneath that sweetness is a strength as strong as iron. Ginger's goal is to make a difference, to have her life count and she does this consistently day after day here in Blogland. She was one of my very first true blog "friends" and I treasure her and her friendship. She is a Disciple in every sense of the word.

Michelle - Many are called but few are chosen. Michelle is one of the chosen ones who has left the comforts of home and home land to live and serve 1/2 way across the world. Michelle's love for the people, especially the children, of South Africa makes her a true Disciple maker. It was a privilege to meet this sweet, gentle young wife, mother and Child of the King. You deserve this Award.
