Friend Of The Week & Inspiring Blogger – Kalley C

This week, it’s my pleasure to introduce you to Kalley at Blogging While Nursing – a Catholic writer, thinker, and home-schooling mom who writes about life’s events and the lessons they teach.

One of my favorite articles on Kalley’s blog is Testing The Limits Of Patients – a story where she shares how even today, we have a tendency to resist using our gifts and following God’s calling in our lives because of our own perceived shortcomings – not realizing that God will enable us to do the things He asks us to do.

As Kalley reflects on the story of Moses in Exodus, she writes:

I look at what I’m doing in my life. By the grace of God, I’m learning and enriching my soul far more than I could dream. But I am constantly reminded that what I’m learning was not meant for me alone. That this knowledge was not meant to be treasure that I store for myself, but it is something that I was meant to share.

I invite you to visit Kalley this week – to explore her blog – to extend her a warm welcome as our Friend Of The Week – and to congratulate her on receiving the Inspiring Blogger Award from Create With Joy!
