Because of You
hi sweeties :-)) today i want to take a second & express my gratitude to y'all.
i just want thank you guys for reading. i don't think y'all know how much this truly means to me. you guys are literally making my dreams come true w every link click to Saved By Grace. it brings me so much joy to talk about my blog & i am so happy w the success that i have had w Saved By Grace. i have been so encouraged by the feedback that i have gotten from readers. i have been so amazed by what God is doing in my life & it is so cool to see the effects of how God is using me to further His kingdom. i'm sitting @ my computer & it is currently 10:02 pm & i'm tired & overcome w emotions. i have taken some hits & gotten some criticism from some of my peers. & yeah it sucked to hear, but it has contributed to tramendous growth over the last few months that i have been blogging. i have done my best to be very transparent w y'all & not sugar coat anything & just get real w y'all. that is partially bc that's my personality & partially bc we are fed lies every single day & i am not going to lie to y'all. this school year has been such a hard & huge year for me. i have learned so much about myself & God. it has been a year full of tears & emotional pain that i have had to deal w & the only reason that i am full of joy & peace is because of the endless love that my Jesus has for me. that is the Jesus that i set out to show my readers when i started SBG. i want every one of you to grow up to be mighty women (or men) of God & that is the mission that i set out for by writing this blog. yes it has been hard to juggle a blog along w all of the other things that i am responsible for, but i know that this blog isn't about me, it's about Him. Saved By Grace is something that i dedicated to Him before it even had a name. so in those moments when i was too tired or was just completely out of ideas for posts, i dug deep within me & sat down & started writing from things that i have struggled w or was struggling w @ that particular time. so when i say that this blog is transparent, i mean it's transparent. i am applying the words that i type to y'all just like i hope y'all are applying them. these things that i have shared are from some of the deepest parts of my soul. the things that i have shared w you are the things that have hurt me so much emotionally that my body has literally ached. it's very hard for me to be vulnerable, especially when i have no idea who is going to click on the link to my blog. but, the way that community & growth happens is through vulnerable & honest moments w God & w your peers. i intend to keep being vulnerable w you & share things w you that i never thought i would share publically like this. & i intend to try (& probably fail) to make you laugh w sarcastic comments to lighten the mood of some heavy subjects. that's just how i roll, sorry bout it.
so, thank you for reading. thank you for helping me grow my influence for Christ & furthering His kingdom. thank you for genuinely taking in the words that i practically slaved over @ times. i am so honored that you have taken the time to read Saved By Grace & i hope that you continue to read SBG so that we can grow together. thank you for helping me grow as a person, thank you for helping grow my confidence & grow my leadership skills. thank you for being a push for me to constantly strive to be more like Christ & thank you for believing in me. i am so thankful that the Lord birthed in me this heart for sharing experiences & sharing hardships so that we can grow together. i pray that we continue to grow & that we can continue to laugh & cry together. my heart is so overcome w the joy that He has placed in me & you, my readers, are such a huge joy in my life. sometimes i can't believe that it's real. it is now 10:24 pm & i'm still tired & even more overcome w emotions.
i will continue to thank our Lord for you everyday & i will continue to hopefully help encourage you to go down the path that He has set out for you.
thank you.
