Today's post marks the end of angie'sthat'sthat, volume 1. I'm compiling all of the blogs over the past year into a book. I can tell you that I started this blog from scratch and it is obvious from my first month of blogs. As with anything you find a passion for, it has developed into more than I ever could have dreamed of. I could have given into my doubts about myself, like Moses, and said I'm not a writer and who will even want to listen to my thoughts. I think God opened a door for me tho and I've been blessed through doing the blog more than any reader.
I want to encourage you to try new things that you've ever thought about doing. The first step to anything is to try. Don't expect to master it in the beginning. Just see if you enjoy it and then it will develop from there. I'm sure Picasso's first painting wasn't his best but he found a love for painting itself. You may just find a blessing hidden behind your fear to try, so go for it.
Angie! I was hoping you would make this into a book! How exciting!
ReplyDelete...that was betsy
ReplyDeleteWhat GREAT advice....as usual! How thankful I am that you listened to Gloria's encouraging words and agreed to gift us all with your Godly wisdom and insight. Your blog has been like an additional devotional to me each day. You can see more in a picture than anyone I know! Cannot believe it has been a year already. I so look forward to your future blogs and "going for new things". You CAN teach some old dogs new tricks. (I'm talking about myself there...not you!!) Keep on keepin' on, sweet girl...you are a BLESSING!! Love you, T.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you found your passion, I notice it is above shopping and eating out thanks for the year of blogs. Dad
ReplyDeleteI am so thankful you decided to do the blogs. I love reading them and cherish knowing your insight into the many things you have blogged about. I have no doubt they have been a blessing lots of people. I also believe God has been pleased with your encouraging words pointing others to HIM for their needs, guidance and encouragement. Keep up the good work. Love, Mom
ReplyDeleteDitto to everything that has been said. In addition, I have grown to know you better than I ever could have just sitting and visiting with you. I've grown to know the inner workings of your heart, where the Spirit of God dwells. I've loved to learn your imperfections and your strivings, as well as the wisdom God has given you through the trials of life. Thank you, my precious little sister in Christ. You are a blessing to me and to many others.
ReplyDeletehappy anniversary Angie! Thanks for your daily thoughts. Have a great day today. Joel
