3. A struggling student getting it

I have just started tutoring a 5th grade boy mostly in math.  I love math and it has always come easy to me, so I love spreading the joy of math to others.  Today he was getting it and man did he have a big smile across his face!  It's nice to know that you're helping someone, even when it seems like you're doing nothing.

2. New life

This past weekend I got to meet my new baby cousin Nathan.  I don't think I've ever held a baby that small.  My roommate became an aunt last week and a friend from my small group became an aunt today.  What a blessing from God!

My hope is to make my blog anew and to explore eucharisteo...realizing His blessing each day.  I'm inspired by the book one thousand gifts by Ann Voskamp.  My small group and I have been SLOWLY working our way through this book and I've been trying to figure out what my way of finding God in each day or the small things would be.  As I was looking at Ann's website I was caught up in her beautiful pictures and realized that this was my ticket.  I love photos.  I love taking photos, however that love has fallen to the wayside as of late.  BUT, my desire is to find my way back to this love of photography and use it as a way to find His blessings in each day.

I'd like to start with a photo from yesterday.
1. Laughter of a child

Laurel is by far my favorite three year old and one of my favorite people to spend time with, but nothing beats that sweet little giggle and knowing that she is happy-even if it is a fleeting moment.

footnote: Ann uses a list to record her eucharisteo (another love of mine!)
