The Liebster award

Hey everyone! I was once again nominated for the Leibster award, this time by Shantelle from A Writers Heart.  You should check out her blog! She has a novella being published in June which I can't wait to read! Plus she does a lot of amazing book reviews. :)

The rules are:

1. Link back to the blogger who nominated you.

2. Answer the 11 new questions.

3. Nominate other bloggers (however many or few as you'd 

like).

4. Create 11 new questions for the bloggers you nominated.

5. Notify the new nominees of their award.

Okidokie! Now to answer the questions! :D

1) What is the driving passion of your life?

To honor Jesus and be a witness for Him!

2) Can you name a favorite character from a movie you've seen recently?

Almanzo Wilder from "Little house on the prairie" :) 

3) What's one book (or chapter, verse, whatever...) of the Bible that has particularly touched you and why?

Romans. It shows so clearly that it's God's grace we are saved by and not anything else. Yet, at the same time it talks about how, once we are saved, we are no longer our own and therefore we need to act as children of God.

4) How tall are you? *smiles*

Umm, 5 feet 9 inches tall. I know, I know, I'm taller then most of my friends. which can be weird at times. ;) 

5) What's one thing a book needs to have in order to make it a favorite for you?

*Looks at bookshelf* Mystery, excitement, danger! But at the same time I like it when the characters are relying on God to help them get through whatever is going on.

6) How did you start and what's your favorite thing about blogging?

I started blogging at A Kansas Wind two years ago when my dad was diagnosed with cancer. It was kinda a way we could keep in touch with my mom and dad (other then phone calls) while they were traveling to different doctors. My favorite thing would probably be meeting fellow bloggers! And being able to share my stories with others.

7) What's something exciting that has happened in your life recently?

I'm working on getting Dark Storm Rising published!

8) Why do you write (blogs, books, whatever)?

When I first started it was mainly just for fun. Then it was because I waned to write a book that I would have liked to have read. I really enjoy WWII fiction, but it can be hard to find that from a christian POV. So that's what I've been working on. :) I also want all my work to bring glory to God.

9) Can you describe (or find a picture of) a different-era outfit that you'd love to wear?

A WWII era dress of course :) Something like this one.

Or this one :)

10) Favorite songs?

Right now my favorite song is "Lay me down" by Chris Tomlin. 

And "At Calvary" is one of my all-time favorite hymns!

11) Any advice for your fellow Christian bloggers/writers?
Keep writing! It doesn't matter if you think it's good or not. . .just keep writing!

Well, since all the bloggers I know have just done The Leibster award, I won't nominate anyone, however I would love reading your answers to these same questions I just answered in the comments :)
