Thought I share a little sunshine with all this morning…
Have a blessed day…
Thankful Thursday ~
Cha..Cha..Changes
“Oh sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.”
~ Psalm 98:1 (ESV)
Before I share my grateful heart with you today, I want to thank my sweet friend Lori from Lori’s Reflections, for hosting Thankful Thursday the last couple of weeks.
Also, I would like to thank the readers from the Internet Cafe to nominate ‘Grace Alone…’ for one of the top 100 blogs of women bloggers…
Well, what are the changes for me? Let me just say this: God has been moving over the last month in my life. For a very long time I thought that God would want me to write about His grace, love, forgiveness. But I could not have been more wrong. For one thing, English is not my first language. And yes, even after 18 years in the US, English is still hard for me.
Just within the last month, God has literally ‘dropped’ opportunities into my lap that have nothing to do with writing (well maybe a little bit 😆 )…So, here is what I am thankful for this week…
- Thank You Lord for always putting a new song in my mouth…
- Thank You Lord for a very patient photography teacher (my beloved). I so appreciate that he is willing to share his knowledge with me…
- Thank You Lord for opening the door for portrait shots. Please help me to do a good job on the senior photos someone wants to get done…
- Thank You Lord for opening another door to do some artwork for my workplace. I am very excited about the opportunity, although I am very nervous. But then again, I can do all things through You…
- Thank You Lord for putting me back in contact with one of my favorite digital designers, Michelle Pieters. I am very humbled to be able to work with her again. Speaking of digital scrapping – I had my first digital LO published this month…
- And last but not least, I am thankful for giving me some artistry talents to share my faith through a totally different medium…
Believe me, over the last couple of months I have become more bold in sharing my faith with people outside the Christian ‘circles’. In the future you will see a lot more photography and digital LO’s on my blog — I feel more comfortable in that area 😆 .
Especially though digital LO’s I can share His love, forgiveness, and grace in a more visual way 😛 . As I had mentioned on Monday, I am currently working on a Faith book, which I hopefully will be able to print this summer — maybe even sell it…
So, what are you thankful for this week? Please leave your link below — make sure you have a Thankful Thursday post on your blog. I really don’t want to remove links, but the links are for Thankful Thursdayer’s only.
Thank you for stopping by today. And remember: Sometimes God does a new thing in your life — don’t be surprised by it 😉 .
Blessings to you today and always…

Thankful Thursday – Possibilities
‘Jesus looked at them and said, “With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.”’ ~ Mark 10:27 (ESV)
Do you believe that your lofty dreams can become reality? Well, I can’t say too much (yet), but this girl (me) is very giddy, excited, and (very) nervous at the same time…A couple of very exciting opportunities have presented themselves in the past 48 hours – amazing…One word – photography.
So, before I share my grateful heart with you all this week, I wanted you to know that I will be going on a little blogging break to pursue the ‘artistic’ side of me.
But no worries; Thankful Thursday will continue during my absence from blogging at ‘Grace Alone’. My dear friend Lori, at Lori’s Reflections will be hosting Thankful Thursday for the rest of January. Please stop by her place on January 22nd and 29th…
- Lord, thank You for your unfailing love. I know that Your timing is always perfect. Thank You for opening some doors for me – You are amazing!!!! Thank You Lord for the talents You have given me…
- I am thankful for my beloved. He is so patient answering all my silly questions about photography. He is my critic – and I am thankfully listening to all his suggestions. He is a great cheer-leader 😛
- I am thankful that I was able to purchase a ‘big girl’ camera last year. My Canon Rebel and I have become very good friends 😆 . You can find some of images on my photo-blog
- I am thankful for my friend, Lori. She offered to take over Thankful Thursday for the next two weeks so I can pursue the artistic side of me
- And I am thankful for photographers like Ansel Adams. He was an amazing photographer. If you like photography and are not familiar with his work, check out his on-line gallery…
What are you thankful for this week? Please do share with us in leaving your link below. Please make sure that you are posting a Thankful Thursday blog this week before linking to this post (I had to remove 3 links last week)…
Thank you for stopping by today – remember: never give up on a dream – be patient – as you know: All things are possible with God 😉 .
Blessings to you and yours…

Faces of Small Town America
I usually don’t promote my photos I post on JPG Magazine, but I have published a photo essay about “Faces of Small Town America”. If you are a member of JPG Magazine, would you consider ‘voting’ for my photo essay? Just click on the image above to get to the site and the essay. I know that my chance of being published is very slim, but I still wanted to give it a shot…
Thanks for stopping by today…have a blessed weekend.
