A Few Great Posts

that I just had to share with you all because I love to read what others write :)

- What I Said… What I Really Meant… : Don’t we all do this? Say “I’m fine” but really mean “I am so not fine”? A good eye opener…

- The First Three: meet the newest members to our family?

- For When We Question His Purpose : ah, yes… this is good!

- Miracles that Never Cease : a book I can’t wait to read… :)

- Real Hope for Haiti : love this story… wow… reminds me of my dad, that love for Haiti

- APTAT : as my dear friend said, “I claim this!” Admit, Pray, Trust, Act, Thank- John Piper talks about this great tool! “Can’t do it!” Perfect! What I needed to hear this week!

- Another Reason to Share the Gospel : a verse to encourage by my friend over at Lillies Valley

daily grace

 

I have started another blog :)

After reading Habit, and The Frugal Girl’s one picture a day blog, I really liked it.

And I thought I could do something like that too- just because I need to remember and count and see and know that God is there in each of my moments- every single day.

So…

here it is!

Daily Grace- a simple place where I count blessings, take photos, and just do a few words a day.

Enjoy!

Passion 2012

(so much for school today :) Ah, to be homeschooled…)

45,000 college students praising the King of Kings with Matt Redman, John Piper, David Crowder, Beth Moore, Francis Chan…

Totally. Awesome.

The students show up at the Georgia dome not knowing who will be there playing or preaching that day, just knowing that God will be there.

31 Questions

While browsing my favorite blogs yesterday, I came upon this list of questions as posted by Sarah at Ampersand Photography.

I don’t do new years resolutions, but I do like the idea of reflecting on the year behind and on the year ahead and found these to be really helpful and encouraging.

Enjoy! And Happy 2012!
