New Thing Archives - Grace Alone...

“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…
