Blessings in abunDANCE: Blessings in AbunDANCE

I just wanted to start off"no I haven't forgotten about my blog!":.)

I have renamed my blog for various different reasons. I've decided to rename it "Blessings in AbunDANCE" instead of "saved by HIS grace." I loved my past name but I thought Blessings in AbunDANCE suited me better.In the beginning I chose saved by HIS grace because I new I was 18 when I started my blog and as I got older I wanted to be sure the name would still apply to my "ever changing" life.I knew I would always be saved by His grace and His grace alone,forever.But I was on the spot and hadn't really thought about it so I went with that.The reasonI decided to rename my blog "Blessings in abunDANCE"is for many different reasons.The Lord has and will continue to so graciously bless me in abundance.So many things we take for granted are really enormous blessings.And I have come to realize in my personal life many times the Lord will go unknown for these blessings He's bestowed upon me so graciously.And I thought this will be a reminder each and every day of the blessings He's given to me.

Another reason I chose the name,and you will notice, DANCE is capitalized in

Abundance.Many,many years now dance has been a big part of my life,especially ballet.One of my dance teachers actually wrote this on one of the cards she gave me and I always thought it was a clever saying!Who knew I would use it for the name of my blog:.)I thought I would share some pictures because,as I've written in the past that have graduated high school.I was praying a lot about continued education and what the Lord had for me to do.Well things I had come up with the Lord seemed to close the door to and I was thinking and praying A LOT!!!About a year ago the Lord convicted my family for the unmarried believing woman's place in the world.The Lord especially convicted my dad on her role and what He expected of her,and we believed that to be, a homemaker.Anyways that's a whole new subject.But with that in mind what kind of "job" could I get and still stay home and honor my father and the Lord?Well it hit me like a ton of bricks...Teaching Dance(or at least train myself to be able to teach dance someday)So now dance will become an even bigger part of my life.Still a lot of obstacles need to be overcome b/c as anything in the world,dance can be a very ungodly thing if not taught properly.The Lord will continue to show me His will and the more He will continue to teach me.Anyways this is the reason for the name change,and I thought I would share with you how the Lord brought it about in my heart!!!
