Brilliant Blog Bouquet Award

I have been awarded! by my lovely new [blogger] friend Lauriloth, from Musings of an Elf.

The Questions:

1. If you could have a "flower pen name" like we have here on our blog, Violets and Daisies, what would it be? Hmm... That is a tough question. I have always loved Tulips, but I think my name would be Poppy, for the Red Poppies, because I love the color red (among many other colors...) and the flowers are beautiful! I would spell it thus, "Poppi."

2. What is your favorite ever Bible verse and why? *groans* So many... I believe it would be Psalm 86:11, "Teach me Your way, O Lord, and I will walk in Your truth; give me an undivided heart that I may fear Your name." (NIV)

3. What are the blogs which inspire you most? Go Teen Writers has been a big help in my amateur writing career so far; I've also enjoyed keeping up with Storyteller's blogs - Rubberboot Girl, Dragonmaster, and Storyteller of Weston County; Living on Literary Lane (love Elizabeth's writings!); My Hiding Place by Ashlin; Musings of an Elf; Whisperings of the Pen; and all the others in my blog list! I mean, come on, why else would I be following them??

Blue Mountains, Australia

4. If you and your friends could visit any country in the world, where would you go? Australia! I've always wished to go to Australia. And New Zealand! (inspired by the Lord of the Rings & Hobbit movies) ^__^ Then maybe Ireland, England - well, the whole of Europe. =D

5. If you have one, feel free to share your testimony as to how you became a Christian. Long story short, I have grown up in a Christian home since birth, with a wonderful family of godly parents, grandparents, and younger siblings. I said I was saved at the age of seven, but all I had done was follow my peers to the altar and said yes to the pastor. For 11 years after that, I struggled with the question, "If I died today, where would I really go?" So, two years ago, I truly accepted Christ as my Savior and know now, without a doubt! I am a Christian, saved by grace!
