Welcome back, friend. So glad you’re here, for you’d truly be missed if you weren’t. Thank you for pulling up a chair at this table each week. ♥
I’m so excited to share our Drawing and Spotlight winner this week—our sweet, beautiful sister-friend, Michele M. Woohoo! Congrats, Michele!
So blessed by your example of a Godly writer. We appreciate you so much, and are grateful for your presence in this space each week, friend. ♥
Michele is a teacher, blogger, reader, and gardener who finds joy in sitting at a table surrounded by women with open Bibles. (To which, exactly, no one is surprised!)
Michele’s online writing space can be found at Living Our Days. There you can find links to follow her blog & follow her on all manner of social media. Michele serves as a sweet constant in the blog-a-sphere, and for that, I’m thankful. If you haven’t had a chance to visit with Michele, I hope you’ll pop by and say hello. I know you’ll leave encouraged. 
Let me know whether you’d prefer the insulated mug, or the writing journal and I’ll get it right out to you, Michele. May the Lord continue to bless your ministry of words. ♥
And, last week’s drawing winner for Charity’s novel, I Get to Love You, is Laura Rath! Congratulations, Laura. If you can get me your info, I’ll have that sent right out to you. ♥

It’s a casual, pony-tail & sandals environment around here, but a few important reminders:
- Please remember to visit and leave some encouragement for other friends who’ve linked-up today — this is the heart of community & your words of support could be just the thing another friend needs to hear today.
- Please only share like-minded words of spiritual encouragement and insight.
- Please grab the #ChasingCommunity button, or link back here underneath your post. (So others can find us and join the fun too!)
