Four years ago today I took a leap of faith and wrote my very first blog post.
I wasn't an expert. But I felt led.
I didn't know a million things about the blog world. But I felt a pull.
I didn't know a single soul in real life who blogged or a single soul in the blog world. But I felt prompted.
There were no pictures with that very first post. Only words.
These words.....

An Attitude of Gratitude... I am thankful that God is so ever mindful of you and of me. My cup runneth over with gratitude as I sit in all humility and pour out from my heart about all that He has done in my life and the lives of those I love so much. My prayer is that it would inspire you, that it would stir you and that it would point you into a real relationship with the one who created you. Let this day be the beginning of something beautiful...
I can remember thinking to myself
Lord, I don't know what you are doing but if only one person reads this blog I pray that it blesses them.
I wanted it to be a place of blessing.
A place of encouragement.
A place that would point you to Him.
And in the process so many of you have been an encouragement to me over the years.
Thank you.
Thank you to each and every one of you who have taken the time to visit, to read, to comment, to email...
Thank you to each and every one of you who have shared your own journey with me.
What a privilege to be trusted with the pieces.
Thank you for allowing me the space to share my own pieces as well....both healed and broken.
I have counted the pages here as one of my greatest joys in life.
To be connected with each one of you.
To write.
To pray.
To encourage.
To share.
To listen......
And for that I am forever grateful.....

Oh sibi - what a blessing it is to me that I found your blog - if I remember right, I think Lisa Leonard tweeted "this is such a sweet blog" so i clicked over. You stuck something in me and I was drawn in - led to you for a reason and I am so thankful for you. Thankful you heard and felt the prompting and did something. I have written to you and told you once or twice but i will tell you again; you are a blessing - God is good!
grateful indeed!

My precious real life friend. If you had never written enlisted my life would be missing a true friend. A woman I look to and admire in so many ways. I'll never forget randomly (but we both know nothing is random when you run with the holy spirit) finding your gorgeous blog and knowing I had to know you in real life. How amazing that God actually let that ce true and it was love and true friendship from the start. Just think I would have never met you, e and your sweet babies, I would have never met macey, I would have never met Stephanie, you may have never met Heidi and Ashley.....it's just the beginning of more relationships that bring him glory. It's just the beginning of your ministry. I love u
