How do I change? Sometimes it's the influence of others, sometimes it's a sermon,
or the conviction of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Circumstances change us,
time changes us, we grow, we learn, we adjust.
Sometimes we resist change, other times we embrace it.
Books change me. Some books inspire.
Some books entertain, some challenge,
and some change us.
Beth Moore's book, So Long, Insecurity, had a profound impact
on my life in the last year. Joanna Weaver's book, Having a Mary Spirit, also
changed me as did Nancy Lee DeMoss's book, Lies Women Believe.
And the latest "change" book I've read is Ann Voskamp's book,
One Thousand Gifts.
Because of her influence I'm about to embark on a journey,
a journey of thanksgiving,
thanking the Lord for 1000 things...
the things I love,
the everyday graces,
blessings.
I am thankful to my heavenly Father for...
- a husband who prays
- perfect spring mornings
- early morning quietness
- the smell of good coffee
- strength to do my tasks
- health
- a new day
- the Holy Spirit
- grace - God's ability in my life
- a book that challenges and changes me...
