Apparently ~ hopefully! ~ this passion is showing! Jerriann awarded me with a Passionate Blogger Award! YAY! Y'all know I'm all about blog games and fun!!
Here's the scoop. I simply get to share with y'all five things, other than blogging, that I am passionate about. Then, I get to give this award away to five of my favorite writers!
1. I'm definitely passionate about my Father's amazing Grace. His mercy on me and my sin-filled life is undeserved. Yet he loves me so much! It's beautiful, really, His Amazing Grace!
2. I am passionate about my marriage. Tim is definitely God's best for me, and I thank God many times each day for giving me such a great Christian man. I am loved beyond measure by Tim. I have such a strong desire to be constantly growing and maturing in my role as Tim's wife. We have had an amazing journey thus far, and I'm sure the best is yet to come!
3. I am passionate about my family. My momma and my baby sister mean so much to me. Despite the heartaches we've been through as "the Miller girls", there is beauty in our sorrow. I'm passionate about always being the daughter, sister, sister-in-law, and aunt that God would have me to be.
4. Which leads me to my passion for Eleanor Grace! My precious niece is such a miracle! Watching her grow and develop has been such a gift! I thank God that Jenn and Brian let Tim and I be such a big part of Ellie's life. I pray God will give her a life full of love and happiness, and that she will always know her Aunt B is here for her. Always.
5. I'm passionate about ministering to the broken hearted. No, I might not have ever really walked in those shoes, but I have been broken hearted. And I know that my God is close to those whose hearts are shattered. I pray that God will always use me as He sees fit to lead others to Him in their time of darkness and pain.
6. I'm passionate about Sav a Life. I've recently begun volunteering at this crisis pregnancy center one night a month, and I love it. The services they provide to women and men in our community include pregnancy tests, sonograms, adoption counseling, post-abortion counseling, and baby care education. It's definitely a ministry that's grown close to my heart, and I look forward to Sav a Life's future in our community!
Oh, wait, that was 6 things!?!? Oops! I got a little carried away!!

I love your heart friend! And that you care so much for the broken. We all have God shaped holes, so it's a blessing that you desire to remind people that He really can heal. Love you!
You are so stinkin' sweet...I wish I could just hug your neck. I gave you an award on my blog last week but didn't get around to taggin everyone. Have a blessed day my dear sweet friend.
Hi Bethany.
I just came over for a visit and saw that you gave me an award! You're SO sweet!
Passion? I think that should be my middle name. I have a passion for so many things that sometimes I drive myself crazy. You know? ;)
I totally laughed at what you said about thinking "that would make a great blog post". I do that ALL the time. I always have my camera handy.
Well, I'm glad I popped by. Off to bed now...
Good night.
Your chum,
Lynnette
I would have to agree with the passionate blogger award. Congrats to you! and the ones you passed the award along to. I will have to go check them out myself.
Thank you so much girl!! I absolutely loved your list of things that you are passionate about! God has blessed you with a contagious joy and love for others. Although I am sad for the circumstances through which those gifts were developed; there is no denying what beautiful things they are in your life. God is near to those who have been broken hearted. He binds up those wounds Himself and helps us to understand the journey others may take.
You are beautiful sweet friend - inside and out.
Like the others here, I also wish I could hug your neck, and it is evident that you are a passionate women.
I have had to tell my family to back off the "blogging thing" and stand still, I need that picture. It will make a great story. haha.
And, I want to add that I am about to begin volunteering at a crisis pregnancy center and believe that God has been grooming me for this very thing at this time in my life.
He is so good.
I love your "passions" list. Just wonderful!
I feel the same way about blogging. I think about it ALOT and check on it several times throughout the day. I can't even remember what is was like P.B. - preblog:)
