We have so much for which to be so very thankful! 

If you haven’t read her book, you should! ;)   It’s a book that really reinforces the idea that even in the ugliest of moments, that there is extreme beauty!  We just have to actively choose to seek the splendor.  One of the things that she encourages is recording your joys.  What a blessing in itself; transforming your outlook as you put pen to paper.

About the Author

Lacy
I am a Mississippi girl, who now calls Alabama home. I am married to my wonderful husband, T.J. I feel like God is calling me to do more with my life. I am currently praying for Him to show me the way in which He wants me to walk. I am really learning to dive in and love life as it is now. My husband and I created our blog, Love for the L.O.T. to help raise funds to dig a well in Uganda, Africa. We are now searching His face to see what our next adventure will be as we strive to serve Him. This is a great journey! I hope you'll join us!
