After lots of time on our knees, God revealed to us a new journey in life.  All in which we clearly saw his hand....and didn't when we ventured off his plan.  In our time of darkness, we saw joy.  Favor in the selling of our home, favor in temporary homes, favor in finding our new house and getting exactly what we have been praying for.  Favor in a new career journey which allowed John to work on the farm with his father.  Favor in all thing with the farm (this is a big one)!  God knew his plans for us and we joyfully accepted.

With all the favor and joy also comes attacks!  But the way we saw them were much different than the past.  When an obstacle stood in our way, we looked to the Lord and found him. 

God also introduced to me a book....a book to challenge my every thought, my every action.  To find joy in all things....even the challenges!  Ann Voskamp truly changed my life with her book....her daily devotions.  She challenged us to find just 1000 gifts that we were thankful for.  She introduced me to truly know what Eucharisteo means to my life! 

So I challenge you to read 1000 Gifts from Ann!  It will change your life!
