a thousand gifts

 Several years ago, I entered an unknown territory called Blogsphere. I was like a kid in a candy shoppe, a builder in home depot, a hunter in Montana. One of the first blogs I ran across was A Holy Experience, written by a woman named Ann Voskamp. I stayed up late reading her words… beautiful lyrical words mingled with her gorgeous photography. Her lifestyle… a homeschooling mom, married to a Dutch farmer living in Canada, was intriguing. I found her blog was a place of inspiration and encouragement… a place that encouraged me to be centered on the important things. My eyes drank in her words and photography and they spoke to my soul, inspiring me to look for the gifts of grace in my ordinary life.

Yesterday, Ann’s book, A Thousand Gifts, was launched. And what a beautiful book it is. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of it in my mailbox! You can order it on Amazon. This book will become a classic. I am sure of it.

If you are not familiar with Ann Voskamp, or her blog,  A Holy Experience, I encourage you to take 4 minutes and watch this video… listen to her words. I am pretty sure you will then take a little trip to her blog.

Thank you Ann for sharing your gift with the world! You inspire!
