A divine choice...

I am a divine choice.

You are a divine choice.  

Psalm 139 makes that truth clear.

In that same chapter in the Amplified Bible, 

verse three says that God sifts and searches out our path.

This leads me to believe, that not only are we a divine choice,

but the things on the path before us are selected by Him as well.

These six years of journaling my blessings, noticing His hand in my daily life,

I've become more conscious that in every moment of every day,

He is with me,

and I am greatly blessed.

Since 2009 I've been counting my blessings thanks to the prompting of Ann Voskamp.

 I continue to count my thanks

piling up gratitude day by day

in my journal.

(and capturing some of my blessings via my camera or iPhone)
