Paula @ Gracefilled Moments Can you believe it’s been five years already? It feels like just yesterday that I was nervously hitting the “publish” button on my first blog post.
It’s hard to believe that November marks my fifth year of blogging! It feels like just yesterday that Jesus was nudging me towards this path. For months, I felt a persistent urge, a gentle pull. But I kept resisting, convinced that I wasn’t a writer. “But I’m not a writer!” I’d protest as if that was a valid excuse.
And here we are, five years later. I’m incredibly grateful for this journey and the wonderful community that has grown around this blog. I’ve made lifelong friends, learned so much, and been inspired by the incredible talents and wisdom of so many.
Through your blogs, I’ve learned more about Jesus, discovered new recipes, learned new crafts, and picked up valuable DIY tips. I’ve been introduced to excellent books and travel destinations and gained valuable insights into various aspects of life & style, from homemaking to (grand) parenting.
As I reflect on the past five years, I’m excited about what the future holds. I’m committed to sharing my faith, passions, and life with you all. I hope to inspire, encourage, and uplift you through my words and actions.
Thank you for your love, support, and friendship. Here’s to many more years of blogging, faith, and fellowship! PS: It feels like I’ve known you guys for much longer than five years.

Paula, just stopping in to wish you a Happy 5th Blogiversary! I remember how surprised I was when I made the 5-year mark, and now I’m coming up on 15 in a few months. I never dreamed I would be blogging that long, but it’s kind of addictive! Maybe I’ll get in on your next linkup, but I don’t have time to visit other links today and don’t want to link and run.
Than you so much Jean. Link up whenever you can. I’d love to have you join in the fun.
