Since I just started my blog, few of you would know that I am pretty much always freaking out about Ann Voskamp's blog (aholyexperience.com) and book, One Thousand Gifts. I do not have the words to convey how much her words encourage me and how the challenge of recording God's gifts over and over has opened my eyes to seeing Him in my life each and every day.

Here are some of my recent "God is here" moments:
15-Isaiah stoked about a friend's salvation

57- straight honesty from a little person
60- a new Bible study with new friends

79- reunion with one of my favorites after just saying goodbye
80- anticipating the most special of girl's nights
81- worship songs that fill me full of Him and drown out the enemy noise
