‘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…

Tribute to my Dad

Well, today would have been by Dad’s (Peter Brueck) 67th birthday. Unfortunately he only lived to be 52. He was a great and godly man. Although he stumbled sometimes, he had a great foundation – the Word of God. My sister Dagmar and I were blessed to be raised by such a man. He taught…

  1. It’s been awhile since I joined everyone for TT…but so glad to be back now. Happy New Year Iris!

    Goodluck with the new opps in photography that you’re pursuing…and thanks for sharing Adams’ link. I’ll be looking there after commenting here. I’m sure a hobbyist like me can pick some tips there. 🙂

  44. hi iris! i wasn’t able to participate for yesterday’s TT. but your post about POSSIBILITIES just confirmed His message to many of us here. our annual 7-day prayer and fasting in our church just finished yesterday – thursday. and our pastor’s message is that nothing is impossible with God. if your situation looks impossible then you are a candidate for a breakthrough this year. i was so happy for this wonderful and inspiring message. then your post also talked about possibilities. coincidence?? i don’t think so.

    this 2009, i’m believing God for breakthroughs and miracles.

    thank you for this beautiful post, iris. God bless you always.
