She Sparkles Top 10

by Cindy Bultema | Jan 20, 2012 | Family Fun Ideas, Fat Talk Free | 7 comments

Hey Friends!

Happy Weekend to you! I hope your weekend is filled with much laughter and joy-filled moments!

I’ll be hanging out with my friend April ~ writing, “tweaking” and praying. Can’t wait!!!

I recently came across something interesting ~ my Top 10 blog posts!

Although there are many ways to track blog traffics, statistics, page views, etc… ~ I never do any of that stuff. Not that it’s bad (it can be very helpful, insightful, etc..) ~ I just know my personality, and I don’t want to get caught up in numbers.

My hope on *She Sparkles* is just to encourage, point to Jesus, be real, share Truth, celebrate and get to know y’all. 🙂

Yesterday I was trying to add a “search this blog” to my sidebar. Guess what? It worked! I hope this helps you find old blog posts by topic. See it in my sidebar to the right? 🙂

While I doing this, I came across another new feature from blogger ~ your Top 10 blog posts. You can rank them in different ways ~ so I decided to compile a list of my Top 10 blog posts since *She Sparkles* started in March of 2009.

I was surprised by my # 1 viewed post. Want to take a guess??

It wasn’t my testimony (good guess!), or my About me page (another good guess!).

The Top Blog Post from *She Sparkles* is……

Coping Strategives for the Frazzled Woman from this past summer!

Isn’t that crazy? The post when I thought I was going to lose my mind and was totally wrestling with maintaining my “joy” in the midst of having a house full of kids at home ~ ended up being #1. I hope it was an encouragement. Or maybe it was just a relief to other women to know they were not alone.

(And if you’d like a copy of my 10 coping strategies, leave me your e-mail address. My graphic designer friend typed it up all nice for me to share!)

Here’s the rest of the Top 10…. (All the links are live if you want to check any of them out).

Thanks for stopping by *She Sparkles*! God’s richest blessings to you!!!

Totally not surprising with the stress-filled lives most of us lead nowadays…My Saturday is going to the dogs – literally! I have a foster dog, Casey Sparkles (you can follow her on Facebook!), and she has an adoption event tomorrow at PetSmart…so I'll be there with her for a good while and then attending a chili cookoff fundraiser for a local animal rescue group. YUM! Please pray that Casey Sparkles *special people* find her!Sunday is church with my Dad followed by brunch and catching up on the happenings of the week. My youngest son, Matthew, will be home for the weekend so that's always a special time! His schedule as a postdoc is so crazy these days that when he is able to be home, I treasure it! Have a blessed weekend with your family, Cindy!! <3

Cindy mentioned each woman at least once by name throughout her sessions.

"As women's ministry leaders know, finding a speaker who is Right AND Relevant is quite a task.

God led us to Cindy last spring as a speaker for our fall retreat at Mackinac Island. Even then, I did not realize what a gifted messenger she would be.

With almost 70 women present, Cindy mentioned each woman at least once by name throughout her sessions. She did not shrink back from telling her testimony, as difficult as it must have been. And she opened the book of Revelation to our ladies with insight and application like few women I have ever heard.

Thank you, Cindy for marking this retreat as a milestone in women's ministries at Woodside Bible Church. Praying we will never be the same."

Cindy’s enthusiasm for the Lord is contagious…

"You will find no one more highly motivated to see lives changed by God’s love and grace than Cindy. Cindy’s enthusiasm for the Lord is contagious and many women have testified that she has ministered to them from the message she delivered.

Cindy’s personal testimony has been one of transformation for God’s Glory. She continues be used by God through her testimony for the many women who have had similar life circumstances and for others who can see what God can do!"

Several attendees have continued to comment on how great she was months after the event.

"Cindy came to Texas and lead three sessions during our overnight Fall Women’s Retreat. Each Biblically based session was well thought out and touched each of us as she dove into finding balance in our unbalanced world. She made sure to tailor the message to our audience of multi-generational women in all stages and phases of life. However, it was in the ‘down time’ that Cindy deeply connected to several of the ladies who were so moved by her messages that they later were able to share private tears together. It was lovely to see God’s hand of healing being brought to the ladies of our church through Cindy’s powerful words and gentle spirit. Several attendees have continued to comment on how great she was months after the event. Cindy will be a great addition to your event/retreat too."
