One Thousand Gifts

For quite some time, I've followed Ms. Ann Voskamp's blog, A Holy Experience. 

She wrote a book which has been a best seller, One Thousand Gifts.

Tomorrow night, close to fifty ladies in our church have signed up to meet together and this book will be the heart of our discussion, to be led by our  pastor's wife, Ms. Tracy.  She has given us a brief intro the last couple of SONday mornings and she speaks in her soft voice thru tears in her eyes about how much this book touched her, as she read it in two days because it was borrowed and took notes on the envelope she was using as a bookmark.

This is the first study I've been a part of in a long time....and I'm very excited to see how God pours His Spirit and blessings down on this room full of women.

How 'bout you, Sweet Reader?

Have you experienced this book yet?

I'll keep you posted on our study!!

Hope ya'll have a wonderful weekend!!!

Kisses From Katie!!!

Do y'all know who Katie Davis is?

I had heard lots of amazing things about her, but until I read her book, I just didn't know what a totally awesome young lady she truly is.  If you get a chance, check out her blog, Kisses from Katie.  I've spent quite a bit of time lately pouring over her posts.  She also has a ministry that she named Amazima....which means "truth" in the Luganda language.  

"TRUTH"....my word for 2012. 

When I got to that part of her book about a week ago,
I just had to put it down and do a bit of worshiping!!!

If you get a chance, watch this little video and you'll see what a huge heart this young lady has for orphans and how she has committed her young life to working with people in a part of the world where people are the poorest of the poor.....Uganda....where our GRAND-daughter is from.
I also learned that in the Luganda language, I'm jjaja....which means Grandmother!!!  
Wonder if I can get the boys to start calling me that instead of Nannie?!?!?
Probably not!!!

Isaiah 1:17

Learn to do good.
    Seek justice.
Help the oppressed.
    Defend the cause of orphans.
    Fight for the rights of widows.

New Challenge....New Page

If you look up at my "pages", you'll see a new one called 

"A Book a Month".  

 Although I read a lot, I'm not an avid book reader.  I find that I'm only drawn to books that I feel will feed me spiritually.  At the beginning of the year, I decided that I would try to read a book a month....and....

....so far, so good!!!  

;-)

I would love for you to  check out my new page and see what I've read so far.  I've included a link to the web-site that goes with the book.

If any of you have read either of these books so far....please give me your thoughts!!!

In His Most Precious Love....and with mine!!!
