It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these. I started ‘Faithful Fridays’ when I first started blogging, back in 2007. Each week, even though I was facing some trying times, I would still post my blessings.
At first – I thought it was just to help me see the good things in life. However, I started receiving so much feedback, saying it inspired others that I knew it was bigger than my world. I loved seeing other bloggers posting theirs on Friday too.
Eventually, I fell off the blogging map – as life just got too busy. But today, I’m revamping ‘Faithful Fridays’ and am committing to post on as many Fridays as I can.
So after a stressful week, I can say God has given me so much to be thankful for.
Blessing #1:
After a summer of late nights, as my kid is determined to stay up as late as possible until school starts, I went to bed last night at 9:00 p.m. It was the first time in two months that I got a full 8 hours, and I feel like a brand new person.
Blessing #2:
My 14th wedding anniversary was Tuesday. It was nice to re-connect with my guy, with a nice relaxing evening. We had a gift certificate to a new restaurant, so we got to try something new and it didn’t put a chunk in our pocketbook.
Blessing #3:
I got my proof for FINDING KYLIE, with an updated cover. I’m re-releasing it next month. It was so gratifying to see a new image on the front, as the previous cover was so hideousOkay … lets just say I didn’t like it. I’m so happy to have creative control, and the new cover is amazing! … sub-par …
The hard read for the script (FINDING KYLIE) is coming along as well. It is set for August 13th, in London, for which I will Skype in and record. It’s been a long long journey to get to this point. Now that I have control over my first book, the time couldn’t be more perfect.
Over the last year, the hard read kept getting pushed back … and now that I got my rights back to the book … it’s all aligning on a perfect timeline. Isn’t it funny how that happens?
There was a time when I couldn’t understand why it wasn’t tracking faster, but God knew when it would work best. I needed to get my rights back from my publisher first. And in the same month, both came to fruition …
I want to encourage you all to think about your week. No matter how stressful it’s been, I’m sure you can think of some amazing things that happened in your world. Write them down, or better yet … blog them and let me know about it.
Have a great weekend!!!
