Internet Cafe Devotions introduces Blessed Aroma ~ 2009!
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 ~ 2009. It’s a way to showcase some of your favorite blogs who have encouraged you with their written words and examples of faith in 2009. This is a chance to showcase some of the most encouraging and inspiring blogs, and an opportunity to introduce our readers to some new and exciting ladies.
This is not a contest. There are 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 is to simply add a page to the Cafe with a fresh list of wonderful blogs that others can enjoy. We will obtain this list through nominations by you, the readers, and not simply based on our own opinions. No one will know who was nominated or how many people nominated each blog but the top ten of those who receive the most nominations in a category will be included on our website. In random order, of course.
We will accept nominees through February 5th, 2010 and shortly after the top 10 blogs in each category will be announced when our new web design is revealed.
You can vote once in each of the following categories:
Cup Overfloweth Blog
This is a woman who is following hard after Him. Her words, her heart and her passion for her Savior is evident with every click of the mouse. She inspires you to have a closer relationship with Him.
Cup of the Day Blog
This blogger is the “cup” you couldn’t do without. You find yourself daily drawn in to sit a spell. You leave inspired and encouraged.
Most Joyful Among Us Blog
This gal always sees her coffee cup “half full” and the joy just pours out of her site. Her joyful attitude is what keeps you coming back for more.
Beautiful Cup Blog
This blog is unique and artistic. It’s the blog that you are drawn to because of it’s beauty and design. Maybe she is into interiors or photography. Maybe she creates one of a kind art. Maybe she is a blog designer with an eye for detail.
Gathered Together Blog
This is a group blog category. This blog is a team of writers who inspire you with their words of encouragement.
Pouring Proverbs 31 Blog
Caffeinated Blog
This is a high energy blog! Perhaps she is a mom to a dozen or a woman who is wearing many hats. Her energy and enthusiasm shine through on her blog.
Learn A-Latte Blog
This is a lady who loves to see others learn. She might teach her kids at home or maybe she teaches you about: scrapbooking, sewing, knitting, crafts, photography, or anything of the like. The truth is you learn something almost every time you visit her blog.
My Cup of Tea Blog
This is a lady who loves her family and friends and is always pouring out thoughts and ways that you can love your family more. She is a woman after God’s own heart.
All New Flavor Blog
This blog is less than a year old but already shows such a tremendous capacity to bless. You just can’t wait to see where she’ll go from here!
The rules are:

Blessings y'all…I was wondering if you were planning to do this again!
I have a quick question; can you nominate people that were previous "BLESSED AROMAS"? Otherwise, I keep going and checking to see if they were already encouraged. I'm looking for new women and have inspired me but I still wondered about this just in case.
Thanks for the privilege and honor to encourage our sister bloggers! Now I have to block a time to do this.
ohhh, another question: do you need to nominate someone in every category?
Thanks again for clarifying this…I'll check back for your answers as I browse through the Blessed Aromas of sweet bloggers.
Such a wonderful way to encourage one another.
Love that you believe there is no competition in ministry! That makes this all the more special! Can't wait to read of the new encouragers, uplifters and challengers for 2009.
What a wonderful thing!
I just cast my votes and realized how many amazing women of God are living out here in cyberspace!
Blessings to you all.
I just cast my vote. So many wonderful blogs to choose from, but I nominated in one category.
Thank you for the opportunity to nominate some pretty awesome blog ladies who inspire, encourage, and keep me laughing everyday.
Looking forward to hearing the encouragement over the web waves
as women are blessed by this.

Everyday when I read Tracie’s blog, I know it is from her heart that she writes her stories. She does not write what we want to hear but instead (whether good or bad) they are her life lessons. She has shown such stong faith in God which has helped me to get through my daily ups and downs. When reading her blog you know she is a real person with real problems (the same ones we have on a daily basis)
What a brilliant idea.
Great idea! Just nominated
I don’t read alot of blogs, but the few I read need recogntion because they bless me so much. I do hope it’s okay to nominate previous recipients of this recognition. I am not a blogger, but I am so glad there are those women who are blessed with the ability to encourage us and make us laugh. Thanks for the opportunity.
