Don't you just love parties! I do! I'm so excited to not only party with 5 Minutes for Mom, but also to use this time to give back some of the rich blessings I've received from the Lord by offering a $50 Gift Certificate to eSpecially Simple. It is prize number 16 in the US and Canada list! So be sure to head over to my graphic design and consulting adventure, eSpecially Simple, to find out what you might dream up to spend your $50 on!
If this is your first time stopping by Extravagant Grace, I'm thrilled to have you visit. As you can see from looking around, I'm definitely all about living intentionally (hope you join me on that mission!), being REAL, pursuing the things of God, and mentoring women of all ages, especially the next generation at Refresh. That's because I know what it is like to live life without Jesus. Without Christ, my life was so difficult and painful, absent of hope and purpose. While my life with Christ is not without difficulty, I have found that even in the worst of situations, the hope I have in the Lord becomes a source of strength and perspective to get me through. Extravagant Grace is all about sharing that with you!
Want to know how my life changed? Here's my story!
Want to share your story with others, right here at Extravagant Grace? Check this out!
Do you have hope that comes from being in relationship with the Lord and the joy of reading His Word? Celebrate that with us, by sharing your favorite verse in a comment below! You can find my favorite verses here! Feel free to grab any to post at your blog, and encourage you all day long, too!
Here's a few brand new verses, which the Lord has been impressing on my heart as I meditate on Colossians 3. Be blessed by the Word!

Lisa, I already follow your blog...but wanted to say HI on the party day anyway! :) I absolutely love your creations, SO beautiful, especially because they contain the treasure of God's Word. I love your blog and reading about all that God is teaching you.
Those are some awesome buttons!!
I'm stopping by from the Blog Party to say hi! It's great to find an encouraging blog like yours!
Lisa, I love your new verses. As always they are great! I am partying this week too. As a matter of fact, I mentioned that I found your blog at last years UBP. :)
Happy Weekend and Blessings!
Hi Lisa,
Thanks for the encouraging Scripture -- God's word is mighty!
Blessings,
Stopping by from the UBP! Have a great weekend.
A favorite verse of mine would be Gal. 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
I've always loved that one. :)
What a great site, I love all that you are doing to encourage women to be more faithful. Discipleship is what it's all about.
I hope you have a great time at the party this week and meet more women to join in this journey of faith! Stop by and say hi when you get the chance.
Dear Lisa,
I always appreciate knowing that you'll share what's "real" here, and it will always be connected to God's Word. Excited that the UBP will extend the reach of the encouragement. ;)
Much peace to you this week,
Julie

I absolutely love your site. You can feel the Lord throughout every part of it! Once I get my blog split from personal and review, I want to have the Lord all over it! If you see my site, you'll see that it's kind of cluttered and He might get lost in the midst of it all. THAT I don't want! So excited for when it all comes together. I love all of your buttons!! I'm going to start following so I don't forget I've stopped by! :)

Hi! Stopping by from UBP. I love all your buttons, especially the Romans 15:13 on the right hand side. Thanks for such an uplifting blog!
Love your blog and really enjoyed my visit.
I think this is my 3rd year. Not sure but really enjoy meeting new bloggers.
Great prizes this year! I hope you win one..or two.
I was late too but fashionable late for the UBP 2010.
Visiting from UBP2010; so nice to meet you! You have a wonderful blog; can't wait to learn more about it! I'll be following on Twitter.
I'm so pleased that you stopped by my blog! Your blog is simply beautiful. I will definitely be back for more! I'm going to follow you on Twitter also @SpeakableGifts, which is a home business I have with my mom. Blessings!
It's wonderful to "meet" you!! It's such a blessing to meet sisters in Christ in the blogosphere. :) Thanks for sharing the beautiful verse graphics!
[I would leave my favorite verse, but I have a terrible time narrowing it down!! Right now I'm studying Revelations, so I'd probably pick Rev. 21:3-4]
Hope you had fun at the Ultimate Blog Party! I know its over but I'm still partying and visiting some new blogs! :)
