Does that thought not make you pause?
Today is Thankful Thursday!
I say this every week but it is one of those truths that I need to be reminded of
so often.
Today is Thankful Thursday!
I say this every week but it is one of those truths that I need to be reminded of
so often.
This past few weeks have been hard.
It feels like nothing is going right.
But then yesterday, I read this post.
It was EXACTLY what I needed to hear. God knew this.
It can be really hard to share your
heart on your blog. To be open with your struggles.
But if there's one thing I've learned,
it's that God uses all sorts of people. In all sorts of ways.
So today I am thankful for blogs.

Thankful that God spoke to me through Ashley's post.
Amazed that He used social media to get my attention
But thankful that He used whatever means needed
To show me the truth

How about you?
How about you?
I too, am so appreciative to read blogs where women choose to be transparent and allow us to relate to them through their struggles and then gain their insight as well if they share that.
ReplyDeleteI loved that picture that you posted at the beginning of the blog. I'd like to print it or make some sort of sign out of it for the house...such good words.
As always I'm thankful to have a healthy family together under one roof. Thankful that we each do our best each day to love one another!
have an awesome day!!

Thanks Shannon! I know that it's hard to share struggles on a blog. So much easier to just pretend everything's great.
DeleteYet often when someone shares what they've been struggling with, it helps to encourage me with a similar struggle :) That quote is wonderful, I should put it up in my house too!
That is a good thing to think about. Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteNew GFC and Pinterest follower. Glad to find your blog.

DeleteThe quote at the beginning is the one I used for my very first Thankful Thursday post, over a year ago! Thank you so much for visiting my blog, I love finding posts like yours because...we all have those weeks, and it is so amazing how God can use others to help us hear just what we needed to hear! I hope this week goes great for you!
ReplyDeleteIt can be very encouraging to read other people's thankfulness posts. Usually I think "oh yeah! I'm thankful for that too!" Let's spread the gratefulness attitude around :)
