2012
I am on a journey this year that is inspired by Ann Voskamp over at Holy Experience and brought to life through the one who guides my each step, the Lord Jesus Christ. He is teaching me to see each moment in my life as a gift and to take the time to really enjoy and appreciate it. Below will be a list of the gifts that I find throughout this year. Or maybe I should say, "the gifts that find me."
