* I was on an unscheduled blogging break this week… But I had to post this today as I’ve officially counted 1000 blessings since I began this intentional journey 11 months back.
Every week, I share on the blog all the good things (and bad) I am grateful to God for. Join me on this journey of intentional thanksgiving?
