Well, I am almost done with Ann Voskamp's book "One Thousand Gifts." It is not a book that you can plow through... So, when I have time to really study and concentrate, I read it. It has so many nuggets...
This week, while reading, some of my favorite nuggets were "I am a flame that lights other flames." If you really think about it... it kind of makes you think about how your flame is. Is it bright and shining? Or is it dull and ready to go out? The only way to have a bright flame is to stand close to the source of the light... and that is Jesus! Dig deep into his word, study who He is. Do you really know the man/God Jesus?? How does He act? Who did He hang around? That is who I want to be like...
The other quote from her book that really hit home is "I am Blessed so I can Bless!! Really, that quote says it all. How have you blessed someone this week, day or month? I am really trying to look outside of my comfy world and love on people who may make me a little uncomfortable. Why? Because "I am Blessed and I want to Bless others!"

Did you see that Ann Voskamp now has a video study? She had the first session on her site. It seems based on her book.
ReplyDeleteI like #485. I love seeing new maturity in my kids after they struggle. (Hate seeing them struggle though).
Oh, and the pelican is great!
Love the shot and was going to say the same thing the person above did about the video series. They are also publishing a devotional.
