...life change...

so i picked up a book last week, on the recommendation of a friend who mentioned it on facebook. the book is one thousand gifts, by ann voskamp. i am only a few chapters in, but i am loving it. loving it.

i would sum it up, but another blogger has already done such a great job of that right here.

life change--as i titled this entry--will happen, if you let it...when we begin to recognize the amazing gifts our God has given us in the little bitty details of our seemingly mundane days...recognizing these gifts. accept them. give thanks for them. you may be surprised at all those little bitty details you don't give a second thought most days--and how they CAN bring such joy to your life--even amidst your circumstances. :)

check out this beautiful video if you'd like a taste...and i'd love to hear some of your 1000 gifts. :)
