Welcome to

THE SATURDAY EVENING BLOG POST!

This
is where bloggers gather on the first Saturday of each month to share
their latest and greatest blog posts! This month we're featuring posts
from SEPTEMBER '09!

I'll begin by sharing my post: Don't Trust Your Desperately Wicked Heart. I chose this post because it explains how the fear-based mindset of my fundamentalist past still affects me today. Understanding where I've been helps me figure out where I need to go in order to have a whole, healthy, loving relationship with God.

Now it's YOUR turn! Choose one post from your past month of blogging: a recipe, an inspiring story, a photo, a sad story, a piece of art. THE SATURDAY EVENING BLOG POST is a celebration of art, so please no links to products or giveaways. Thanks!

I'll leave this post up all weekend long so you'll have a chance to come back and read some of the other submissions, too.

Here's how to participate:

  1. pick one of YOUR posts from the past month and insert a link to it
    in The Mister Linky form here on my blog (remember to provide a direct
    link to your specific post, not just your home page).
  2. compose a new post at your site encouraging your readers to come
    check out the other great submissions and maybe explaining why you
    chose to highlight a particular post.

I'm really looking forward to reading your posts and getting to know each of you a little more! ENJOY!

    I’m thankful for your writings on growing up in the kind of church you did…my husband has repercussions of some of these same beliefs. Thank you!

  • http://www.kampkk.blogspot.com Kimberly

    What a cool idea!

  • http://www.admafrica.blogspot.com Amy

    Thanks for this opportunity. I chose this post because it gave me the most hope for the future as I wrote it and it was written at an important time.

  • http://www.daysblessings.blogspot.com Karinann

    Thanks for hosting and giving us the chance to share our own posts as well. This is an excellent post and I’m sure will help others in similar situations who may come upon it.
    God Bless!

    I think I can manage this. Don’t we all have favorite posts that we have written.

  • http://theextraordinaryordinary.blogspot.com Heather of the EO

    Thank you for giving us this place to share our words. It’s a great idea.

    Happy weekend!

    I hope you enjoy reading the post as much as I enjoyed writing it. Thanks for taking the time to check it out!

    And, thank you, Miss Elizabeth Esther, for providing this opportunity for us to get to know each other better through our blog posts. What a great idea!

  • http://www.24andprolife.blogspot.com Jenelle

    Thanks again for the opportunity to share. I enjoyed issue 1 and am looking forward to reading some of issue 2. I chose my post based on the theme of all month. It is about talking to people from different backgrounds – an important skill to learn if you want to further any type of cause

  • http://www.laanykids.blogspot.com Charity

    This sounds like a great idea. I am linking to a post I recently wrote about how I felt when the date for our daughter’s heart surgery was set. How real it became when I got that phone call. Thanks for the chance to share.

    Whoops! It looked like mine posted twice for some reason … can you take one of them off? Sorry! (The internet here is a strange animal)

  • http://annebender.blogspot.com anne bender

    Love this idea and thank you so much for hosting it! Crushed Grapes seemed to be my most popular post this month and one that is near and dear to my heart…

  • http://www.sewjenna.blogspot.com jennapants

    hey-yo! I barely posted this month! You can imagine how relieved I was when I found a little sarcastic gem at the beginning of September. nice.

  • http://www.sewjenna.blogspot.com jennapants

    oh no. i jumped the gun and posted something not so artsy. let’s call it a sad story of shopping for school supplies in the ghetto.

  • http://www.ina9linebind.blogspot.com Chief

    I came over from Heather from EO. I love this idea and plan to visit everyone!

  • http://clarity-chaos.blogspot.com Boy Crazy

    It’s my first time here, via Heather from the EO. Being relatively new to the blogosphere, I love this type of thing. I discover so many great blogs this way.

    The post I chose was not my best written of the month, but it is one of the most important to me. Thanks for the chance to share it. I look forward to reading through all of the others.

  • http://georgienba.blogspot.com Georgie@Decisionally Challenged

    what a fantastic idea!
    Heather yanno from the EO sent me(love that girl)
    I will see if I have anything ‘worthy’ of contribution

  • http://georgienba.blogspot.com Georgie@Decisionally Challenged

    Okay blogger is giving me issues I can not get into my dashboard to share this wonderful site…as soon as I can i will link up-if you want to remove my link until i can reciprocate I totally understand

    I enjoyed the post you chose this month, Elizabeth. I too am from a fundamentalist background. Just yesterday I was remembering the time I was driving down the highway and came upon two teenage guys on a small motorcycle (much too small for the two of them). It was dangerous and they weren’t wearing headgear. I immediately prayed for their safety… but just as immediately thought, “They might be doing something rebellious, in which case I shouldn’t pray for them or I’ll get in the way of God’s discipline for them.” It’s been hard, but wonderful, growing out of that poisoned mindset.

    Anyway, I linked to a short post that sums up why I like my life.

    Hey there! Saw this on Warm Chocolate Milk. Too busy with a thousand games to participate…but happy I found your blog. Can’t wait to come back. Subscribed today. I’m new to blog land, so come by lifelaughlatte.blogspot.com and say hi when you get the chance. I’m always looking for great Christian women that are blogging. :) Holly

  • http://www.observantromancatholic.blogspot.com/ Ruth Ann

    I chose “Crepusculous Moments” because it is completely mine and not borrowed from someone else via a link. Also, I love unusual words and am happy when I can incorporate one into my speaking or writing. Also, I like to write about Catholic spirituality.

  • http://www.observantromancatholic.blogspot.com/ Ruth Ann

    Because I have two blogs I like to enter one from each, and I hope that’s okay. I chose the one about Sister Mary Ruth because—well—it’s the only September post I did on that blog. This month I think I’ll do more.

  • http://ifevolutionworks.com Nancy@ifevolutionworks.com

    This is fun. Thanks for doing this

  • http://joyslittlesoapbox.blogspot.com/ Joy

    After a little debate with myself between my anniversary post and this one, I decided to share “Remembering Fall Blessings – Even Hard Ones.”

    September was a difficult month for me — I’m still not exactly sure why. But this blog marks the turning point for me, where I gave myself permission to remember all the Octobers, not just last October; to have fun as well as be sad; to make new memories and not be only defined by last year’s memories.
