Can I Dare You? Week 3
As I continue to count the gifts I feel like I have been on a scavenger hunt seeking new things. A wonderful week searching and looking. Thanks so much to Ann Voskamp for leading this journey.
January 14 ~ 3 Startling Graces of God
- I am in a Bible study called Bible Babes and we are studying In the Grip of Grace by Max Lucado
- God fully understands me. From Jesus Calling,”Rejoice in the relief of being fully understood.”
- I found a new blog called Gracelaced.
January 15 ~ One thing you wore; one thing you gave away; one
thing you shared
- I wore the necklace that I received at a women’s retreat

January 16 ~ 3 witnessed blessings
- I got a lovely email from a daughter about my grandson learning to babble words that actually sound like words
- Listening to my husband’s laugh

January 17 ~ a gift bringing laughter, prayer and quiet
- I went to Bible study and the Bible Babes make me laugh a lot
- I saw that a girl was lost in the Grand Canyon – prayed for a miracle

It’s wonderful to look closely. The flower with the purple center is amazing. I think it goes without saying that your dog is too!
Rachel,
I had the most fun with that day. I took so many pictures. I even took one of a needle. Yes Snowball is pretty funny and amazing.
Blessings,
Janis
