  1. This just made my evening! So proud of you!!! You did a wonderful job with your first vblog. I was actually talking with a friend last night about my desire to do one. It’s on my heart to do before the end of the year but I may let it be an early 2015 goal too. But smiling big a few towns away from you tonight, Ceil. I have been incredibly blessed by your friendship. Merry Christmas to you and your family! Much love. xoxo

Merry Christmas. Blessings

    I have enjoyed getting to know you this year. For the record, usually if I don’t comment it is because I am so touched by what you have written that I can’t find the words to describe how I feel after reading it!! Really!
    I thank you too for you visiting my blog and for all of your encouraging words.
    Merry Christmas to you and your family. “See” you next year.

  7. Oh Ceil, this was just precious! I so enjoyed hearing you talk with us, and you did a beautiful job.

  8. Ceil! That was wonderful. Yes, it has been quite a journey this year. I have enjoyed and have been uplifted by your writings. You are truly a gift from God.

    May you have a blessed Christmas and peace throughout the New Year.

  9. Ceil it was so exciting to see and hear you on vlog! I am so proud of you. Thank you dear friend for your heartfelt sharing and thought-provoking insights. You inspire me. Eager for the word for 2015. May God Bless your every step along the path to an ever deepening relationship with Him. Wishing you and your family a wonderful Advent as the days tick down towards a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

  10. You are light years ahead of me Ceil. I have yet to even try a vlog. I don’t do the book with faces. All in all I am not very tech savvy. Doing one of these would be a real challenge! It was nice hearing from you. And since I don’t have a vlog to use: thank you for visiting my blog and making comments.

  11. Oh my friend, this was such a beautiful gift to your readers. It was a joy to see you and hear you – I could sit at your feet and listen for hours 🙂

    Your first vlog was a success and bravo for making one – I hope we get to “see” more of you in the near future.

    Have a very Merry Christmas with your loved ones, dear Ceil. I am thankful for you, your friendship, and your desire to share God’s Word. Love and hugs to you!

  12. What a beautiful message from a beautiful soul inside and out! You exude such warmth and depth of character here. It’s lovely to see and hear you because it shows how much Jesus in revealed in and through you. This must have been quite a year of surrender judging from your gentle yet spiritually power-packed posts.
    And the closing choice to come closer to Him as the year ends is admirable and a great one to emulate. Thank you, Ceil, for your faithful surrender and all the wonderful fruit it has yielded. We, as your blog readers, followers and friends, have been the grateful and blessed recipients who look forward to all the New Year may bring. Happy Christmas to you and your family. Blessings and love. xox 🙂

  13. Your first vlog is a resounding success!! Ceil, you are adorable, and I just loved putting a voice with your beautiful face and words!

    My deepest and most heartfelt wishes for a truly wonder-full Christmas. I have so enjoyed our friendship this year. You have been an endless source of inspiration and encouragement. And yes, once in awhile that needed conviction!

    May our gracious Lord and Savior be especially close to you this season. I look forward to sharing our journeys in 2015!

    Blessings, dear friend, to you and yours!

    GOD BLESS!

  14. Great job with your first vlog, Ceil! It confirms the beautiful spirit I see in your writing. I really enjoy reading your posts. I am so grateful God brought me here, and I look forward to reading more in the new year. Blessings to you, too, and may you have a joy-filled Christmas!

  15. Ceil! I burst into tears while watching this. Seriously. It felt like I really “met” you and I was right there with you and I just wanted to reach into the screen and hug you.

    Thank you so much for sharing this Vlog. You are a beautiful spirit my friend. I want to wish you a very merry Christmas and all the best in the coming year. I look forward to hearing what your word for 2015 will be. Until then, wishing you peace, joy, and love.
    xoxo

  16. What a treat! I was mesmerized by your poise and sincerity…you are a gifted speaker as well as writer. Thank you for taking the time to share this message with us. I feel like I was with you in person, and I look forward to have more “conversations” with you in the New Year. God bless you and yours, and have a Very Merry Christmas, and the happiest of New Years. See you next year!

  17. AW! It was SO lovely to ‘see you’ and ‘hear you’ Ceil!!! You are such a love and a light! I hope your days toward the Christ-Child are full of His Peace and Presence, my friend. See YOU in the New Year, with your new word. Maybe I need one too… Hmm.

  18. Ceil…I am impressed at your first video, takes courage to step into this kind of format. Seeing a picture is great but seeing you talking was an added blessings. Praying you have a great Christmas with tons of family and friends to bring good cheer. Most of all I pray God bring profound thoughts to your heart to share with us who follow you in 2015, Blessings.

  19. Merry Christmas Ceil!
    May God shower you with every good gift and blessing this Christmas season and in the New Year!
    I loved the Vlog because I got to hear the sweet sound of Jesus in your voice and see the kindness in your eyes as you spoke. I love your heart for God and for people! xo

  20. Oh Ceil, this was a treat! I loved hearing your gentle voice and sweet spirit come right through the screen. You are a brave lady branching out – I am such a behind the scenes gal that I can’t even imagine doing this…Enjoy your time off and I look forward to continued blog friendship in the year to come. Bless you!

  21. Beautiful, simply beautiful sweet Ceil! What a wonderful way to “see” you in person dear friend!! You have blessed me during the past year with your beautiful, funny, and kind words; thank you for being a part of my life! ♥ Blessings and love for a Merry Christmas filled with hope, joy, and peace!!

  24. Dear Ceil,

    This video makes me happy and makes me want to give you my biggest hug. I have missed you and once I’m here you make me very close through the vlog.
    Thank you, I missed your inspiration blog posts.
    I hope you have wonderful one and blessing New Year too.

  25. I’m a bit late, but Happy new year to you too! May your year be filled with JOY! You have a wonderful speaking voice and poise in front of the camera. I have yet to include a video on my blog… I felt like I was in middle school when I attempted one…and the out takes were totally embarrassing. For now I will stick with less words and more pictures. God bless you! Anita
