Just a glimpse of me...

My photo
Do you ever feel STUCK? In 2000, I began looking for answers to some tough questions in my life. I'd searched high & low and finally conceded to search the promises found in the Bible. Those promises have sustained & guided me through the loss of a parent, the struggle with anxiety & depression, the loss of a valued relationship and so much more! I've found joy amid the pain. And, I want to share it with you!

    I love your short, concise lists of Gifts! I need to shorten mine - majorly shorten!!! But, I get carried away "explaining" WHY or WHAT triggered it as a "Gift" for me...guess that's the way I started doing it and wanted to keep it that way...but, I LOVE yours!! Thanks for sharing!

      Thanks for reading Barbara :) I read the book first & then started the list back in 2012. I have made some changes along the way so that I can make it work for my schedule. Often, I will take one JoyDare & write a separate post about that.

    What a great list! I've been doing a 1000 gifts journal, too, but I love your idea of using photos!

      Thanks Anita. I'm a very visual person... so the pics are a HUGE reminder to me of the blessing without having to write down specifics about why it was a blessing to me at that time... The pictures remind me of the details later too :)

    I enjoyed your list and your pictures! I read the book back in 2011 and actually starting my list, but it's been off and on so I'm nowhere near 1,000 yet. Guess I'd better get back to it! Blessings to you!

      Thanks Gayl :) If I keep mine short & sweet, I can manage them better. It's been a great reminder on days that weren't all that great. Enjoyed reading your post today!!
