1000 Gifts

If you have never heard of Ann Voskamp, you should check out her blog right now.  She also wrote this book and I am currently in the middle of it.  She has a passion for the Lord that is contagious and she shares her heart in a very intimate way.  I am taking her challenge and recording One Thousand Gifts that God has blessed me with.  I'm doing it by keeping notepads around the house and jotting things down as my day goes on. Ann say's it will change my life, and I think she is on to something!
