Lord, I especially thank You for bringing me into this world at a time such as this. As I say goodbye to 2009, I thank You for revealing Yourself to me everyday and for showing me the obvious places where I have no other choice but to smile and be grateful. Making this list has helped me appreciate all of the gifts that could only come from You. I don't ever want to take any of them for granted! I have learned that no matter what happens in the future, You are more than enough for me. When Beth Moore said, "Sometimes you have to praise first and feel it later," she was right... I definitely feel it today! I am blessed. I am SO very blessed!
I have no idea where God will take me in 2010. I am looking forward to continuing to Believe Him to do the utterly impossible in my life and I am going to privately continue to count my blessings!
Happy New Year!
By faith... Angie
xoxo

Amen! You have encouraged me so much through your blog since we reconnected through FB. Thanks for sharing!
Blessings to you in 2010, my friend! p.s. I would love to get together again - it will be a bit trickier with me working full time. :) How do your evenings and Saturday mornings look?
I have been blessed by your 1000 things!!
Happy New Year.
I am impressed! And, may I add one more? Many ladies over the country are blessed daily by reading your kind and inspirational words. Your list has blessed our hearts...which in turn has caused us to be more grateful ourselves.
And, I am grateful that our paths crossed in this big bloggy world!
Yay! A thousand gifts from Jesus. Your heart always touches me. The one that stood out on this list is "a job where I can use my hands." I love your humble and joyful way you approach work. I imagine your patients appreciate your Christ-like attitude of servanthood. Your friend in Texas certainly does. Congratulations on 1000 blessings. I'm sure you could count 10,000 besides, as the beautiful song, "Great is Thy Faithfulness" says. I count you among my sweetest blessings as we enter into a blessed new year. Love you, Annette
Angie,
