I am so beyond grateful to each person who took the time to read my blog last week on A Test of Faith. When I wrote that blog, it was more of a way to get my feelings off of my chest. I didn’t really have any intentions on hitting the ‘publish’ button and making it go live for the world to see — that was scary to me!  But after I actually got the tattoo, I knew I just had to! A wave of emotions rushed over me and I just knew that if I felt the feelings I had from wavering from God because of losing someone in a tragic way and the feelings of Him trying to tell me to come back…surely someone else has too. I’m so glad I shared that blog. Over a 3 day course, it touched over 1,000 people. I’m still in utter shock over that. When I share a blog post from a wedding or an engagement session, etc. it will get anywhere from 150-300 views…but over 1,000 on something that was so personal to me? WOW! I’ve always been a bit reserved but I think its important to let people see the real me…the vulnerable, heart on my sleeve, honest as can be, type of person I truly am. So you all saw it…and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading and commenting! I read each one (and commented on each one as well)! You all made my heart SO full and SO happy — ya’ll are amazing! Someone commented on it mentioning I should start a Salt & Light series in my blogging, SO… I’m excited to say that I’m doing just that!! :)

Other than expressing my deepest gratitude to each of you for reading and following my journey, I wanted to share a video a new friend shared with me. I truly believe people are placed in our paths for a reason…whether we find out immediately or down the road why is a different story. BUT– I met my new friend Beth through a mutual friend and Beth helped me to order some Essential Oils that I’ve been trying out. I’ve only known her a few weeks but after she read my blog, she sent me the video below. This video was all I needed to reassure me that God really is tapping on my door telling me to come back. If you’ve had this feeling lately, just give into it. Listen to the feelings your heart and your gut are telling you. He’s always there waiting on us, with open arms, an open heart, and a loving soul. We are so very lucky. Thank you, Beth, for sending me this video. God put you in my path for this reason…
