Top 100 Christian Women's Blogs 2008
Internet Cafe Devotions introduces Blessed Aroma ~ 2008!
As a Christian Women Devotional site, we passionately want to encourage and inspire women all over the world. We know that an ounce of encouragement goes a long way and that is why we are introducing Blessed Aroma ~ 2008. It's a way to showcase some of your favorite blogs who have encouraged you with their written words and examples of faith in 2008. This list consists of some of the most encouraging and inspiring blogs, nominated by YOU! Are you ready to meet some new and exciting ladies?
This was not a contest. There were no prizes. We firmly believe that there is no competition in ministry and we are to support and encourage each other as the body of Christ.
Our vision for this was to simply add a page to the Cafe with a fresh list of wonderful blogs that others can enjoy. We obtained this list through nominations by you, the readers, and not simply based on our own opinion. The top ten of those who received the most nominations in a category are included here. In random order, of course.
Though many of the women on our team of writers and the sister sites Internet Cafe Devotions and CWO received many nominations in different categories, in the end we decided to only showcase blogs that aren't linked from the Cafe on a regular basis. Be sure to go and check out their blogs too though!
If a blog received several nominations in more than one category then we put that blog in the category where they received the most nominations. this was done so that we have 100 unique blogs to share with you.
Be sure to leave them a comment or two and let them know you appreciate them... Enjoy!!

Greetings Sisters in Christ,
I must give ALL the glory to our LORD because anything that any of us share with one another is by, in and through Him and unto the glory of our Father.
My heart is encouraged to be in the categories with other amazing women in Christ and with all the women whose blogs may not be mentioned here who also are sharing their hearts in Christ and being used for His glory.
Thank you from my heart to yours and praise the LORD!
What a beautiful bounty of truly talented women...I can't wait to grab a cup of coffee and go visit with each of these ladies.
Thanks for putting these all together in one place so we can all continue to love, cherish, and support each other.
Melissa

God is so awesome!
Blessings,
Debbie
We'd actually missed that this was even going on...but were so surprised and delighted to be included! Thanks! And I'm excited to check out the other blogs listed!
Blessings,
Abigail @ Pearls and Diamonds
this was certainy an unexpected honour for me ... ! and i'm a wondering who in the world found me blog to nominate it in the first place? mysteries are fun ... and our Lord loves to surprise us daily ... He makes me smile ...
thank you ... and to all the other ladies so honoured - congratulations!
A gracious humbling, indeed. Many thanks for thinking of me and for considering my words worthy of a second look. Second helpings of grace... thirds and fourths and fifths...
have been the way of my heart. I do not claim to have the market on God's grace; I simply have been the lavish recipient of my fair share.
Honoring God with my life and my pen is the only worthy response accordingly.
May God continue to use us all, whether funny,crafty,creative,or with a bent toward teaching to his glory as only he can.
I feel it a high and holy privilege to be counted amongst you all. As always,
peace for the journey~elaine
PS: Blog anniversary this week. There will be a few special prizes...
This is an unexpected honor for me too. I am thrilled!
Thank you!
God bless,
Valerie

What a wonder honor to be included in your list. I am humbled and excited!

This was a complete surprise! I am humbled by this nomination and look forward to visiting these other wonderful nominees. I am so thankful to have these different women that can help inspire me as well as challenge my daily walk. My hope is to always exemplify the love of Christ in all things. Thanks again for this wonderful honor!
I am surprised, honored and humbled by this kind award. Less than a year ago I entered this blogging world with fear and trepidation, but it has become a real blessing in my daily life. Thank you for the encouragement and joy you all add to so many people's lives, including mine.
I love how God works all things in His perfect timing! I had been so discouraged, thinking that no one actually reads my blog - what an amazing encouragement this is, and at the moment I needed it the most.
Thank you for putting this together. I can't wait to do a little exploring and linking and meet some more sisters!
Blessings, Bethany @ proverbs2six

You have no idea how this award proves the faithfulness of God in my life. No idea.

Great job, Lori, Amy..... This was a great idea.
I'm almost speechless and blown-away by your recognition.
Thank you so much for the honor to be a part of "Blessed Aroma-2008". You have certainly blessed me with encouragement.
I am humbled, yet excited to see how my Lord can use me when I obey Him. It is ALL for His Glory!!
Congrats to all of the other ladies. I'm looking forward to visiting you.
God bless all of you in your ministries.
Carolyn
Oh my! I wasn't even aware there was something like this brewing - and to be mentioned among these women is an honor. I saw some of my blogging buddies here but lots of new ones I can't wait to visit. Thank you for spreading the aroma of Christ!
Monica
Wow! In 10th grade I had a guidance counselor tell me to forget my dream of going to college to become a teacher because I did not have what it takes to become a teacher!
Imagine my surprise when I learned that my (Christ's) blog was voted as one of the top 100 Christian Women’s Blogs in ’08!
I am deeply honored and humbled by those of you that said “you learn something almost every time you visit her blog”.
I share this awesome honor and blessing with all those who dare to dream and never give up on their dream despite the nay-sayers. BEELIEVE – “I can do all things through Christ”.
I am deeply humbled and honored to be in the company of the other top 100 Christian Blogs who bless us all every day as they share their heart and honor our Lord Jesus Christ!
Thank You!
Thank you to all who nominated me. I had no idea I was even being considered. Wow! What a privilege it is to be among some amazing women of faith!
I haven't been to all 100 blogs but I do know many of these ladies. I see them as friends. I would have to agree with your selections. These women are all gifts from God.
Thank you for this special award. May GOD alone be the one I praise for this honor. So I give credit where credit is due: To the one who gives me words to share! Jesus, my Savior and King...
Thank you again for taking the time to acknowledge so many blogs. It sure would be hard to pick 100.
Much love and gratitude,
Tiffany
