About
Hey y’all!
Welcome to my blog! My name is Grace, and I am a red-headed daughter of the One true King. I am forever
indebted to the Lord’s glorious love and grace! I am passionate about redeeming the time and living for God's glory, and I hope to spread that passion through my writing here at Grace Notes. If you would like to know more about me, you've come to the right place!
My favorite place of all is the piano bench. Touching the beautiful keys and hearing the
music rebound thrills me to the core! In addition to
piano, I play flute, viola, erhu (Chinese violin), kalimba (thumb piano), and a crystal piccolo. I also enjoy singing alto in my church choir and small groups when I get the chance. Rich harmony makes my heart soar! Looking ahead to the future, Lord willing, I hope to continue using my musical
abilities through teaching, church music, and composition. My aspiration is to create beautiful music
that glorifies God. Click here to visit my YouTube channel.
One Bible verse that is very special to me is Psalm 23:1, and you
probably know it well: The Lord is my
shepherd, I shall not want. This
beautiful verse reminds me that Christ is my
all in all. He is all I will ever need! Some other verses that are special to me are:
James 4:17, Philippians 3:7-8, Matthew 5:13, 2 Corinthians 12:9a, and Ephesians
5:16, to name a few. Note: any unspecified Scripture references on my blog should be in the King James Version.
I love missions and hearing about the work God is doing across the globe. There is a special place in my heart the continent of Africa, which God laid on my heart after reading the book Kisses from Katie by Katie Davis. I would love to go on a
mission trip there someday, as well as any other place God opens the door for me to go to.I love words -- both talking and writing them -- and with my red hair, Anne Shirley and I could have been related. I love to write anything from letters to articles to packing lists, and everything in between! I began this blog in April of 2015 as an outlet to share my writing. These are simply my notes to you! Oh, and don’t be surprised if you see the world “y’all” around here -- I live down south and use it a lot. :)
It is my hope that everything on this blog is God-honoring and encouraging to my sisters in Christ. Please feel free to look around, and then drop me a comment before you leave!
In His Love,
Grace
:D I'm glad about your blog!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog. I hope you keep blogging forever

DeleteYou have a great blog!
ReplyDeleteLily F.
Thank you Lily! :)
DeleteLove your new section here! :) And you're so beautiful, Grace! <3
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! You're too sweet :)
DeleteI love this page, Grace! It was an encouragement to me :) Sounds like we have a few things in common, too...like our love of music & the piano, the book of James, and a passion for the King James Bible ;)! Blessings on your day!

Thank you for commenting, Alyssa! Wow, we do happen to have several things in common, don't we? :)
DeleteGod bless!
Hello, Grace! It sounds like we have a lot in common! I also play the piano (along with two other instruments), am learning to sing alto, and have a desire to serve the Lord wherever He places me. :) I found you through the Annie Writes blog, on which you were interviewed in January. :) I'm planning on reading through your posts, and probably following through my WordPress Reader (in which case you probably won't be able to see that I'm following, since I don't think WordPress connects to Blogger very well).
ReplyDeleteIn Christ,
Leona
Leona, thank you for introducing yourself! It's great to hear how you found Grace Notes! ;) Anna is so sweet! We had a lot of fun with our interviews.
DeleteWhat other two instruments do you play? I'd like to encourage you -- I know from personal experience that learning alto can seem a bit daunting to start with, but keep it up, and one day you'll be able to do it almost effortlessly! I was overwhelmed when I began singing alto, and now I can confidently sing it on my own to most hymns. It's encouraging to see how far I've come! I don't know how its coming along for you, but just thought I'd share that :)
I hope you are encouraged by everything you read here on my blog -- feel free to leave comments on any post you'd like! I love hearing my readers' thoughts!
I play violin and organ. :)
DeleteYes, alto is difficult, but I think I'm getting better. I don't have a teacher; I just read it out of the hymn book. :) I love singing! It helps that I play the violin, because I usually play alto in the church orchestra, so I've been picking it up from that. :) Thanks for the encouragement!
Hello Grace!
ReplyDeleteIt is lovely to meet you. :) I'm 16 yrs old, a homeschooled Christian living in TN. It is so sweet you play the piano! God bless you!

Hi Angela! Thanks for taking the time to comment and introduce yourself! It is nice to *meet* you, too :) Hope to see you around here!!
DeleteGrace! I LOVE your new about page! The pictures, the facelift to the words, etc. So beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks Alyssa! That was sweet of you to say. I do still have some "facelifting" left to do for the words.
Delete;)
Hi Grace! I like your blog. :) And I LOVE your red hair. Mine is red too!
ReplyDeleteYou said that you like missions. My family is missionaries in Mexico! (:
Oh yes, the book Kisses from Katie is REALLY good! You like a lot of the same things I do! :)
Blessings,
Rosy
Hi Rosy,
DeleteIt's nice to *meet* you! I actually just visited your blog the other day and thought it was super cool that you had red hair + your family are missionaries (and you sing too -- I saw a video you had put in a blog post)! :) We have quite a bit in common, don't we?
Thank you for visiting here and dropping a comment!

ReplyDeleteThank you for reading, Hannah! :)
DeleteHi Grace!! I'm Ellen. :-) I recently found your blog and I just thought I'd drop by your "About" page and say "hi." Like you, I'm a daughter of the one true King, and some of my favorite things include tacos, road trips, journals, fonts, and denim skirts. I also absolutely LOVE babies. :-)
ReplyDeleteIt was great getting to know more about you, and I look forward to exploring the posts on your blog!
Blessings,
Ellen
Thank you so much for introducing yourself, Ellen! I apologize for only now getting around to seeing this. I hope you are encouraged by what you find here! As always, feel free to comment on any post you'd like, and let me know if you have any suggestions for future post topics! :)
DeleteYou have a nice blog, Grace! I recently found your youtube channel, and listened to "Be Thou My Vision", which was nicely done.
