What if gratitude wasn’t just something we practice — but a way of seeing our whole lives? This week, I’m sitting down with Virginia Wear Kujabi. She’s seen firsthand how faith isn’t limited to Sunday mornings — it’s formed just as much in the workplace, the kitchen, and the quiet middle moments of life.Virginia shares what it looks like to trade a formula-based faith for a real, rooted walk with Jesus. We talk about learning gratitude as a posture instead of a checklist, finding God in our ordinary spaces, and the beauty that can grow in seasons of disappointment and transition.If you’ve been striving to “get it right” or just longing for deeper connection with God in your everyday life, this conversation will feel like a deep breath for your soul.“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 To connect with Virginia, head over to @vwear and @theformedlife on IG!Listen to Virginia’s podcast here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-formed-life-podcast/id1826482126 Virginia’s book, In Everything Give Thanks: https://amzn.to/4hVR0su SUPPORT BY WORDS: https://buymeacoffee.com/bywordsSHOP MY BOOKS:Waking Up: Living Open — https://amzn.to/3LusgrzLove Is Devotional — https://amzn.to/3S6OZhs FREE Path to Purpose Guide: https://hannahhughes.myflodesk.com/pathwaytopurpose My favorite Bible studies + devotionals - HANNAHHUGHES10  for 10% off: https://thedailygraceco.com?dt_id=300773 Connect: ⁠www.thehannahhughes.com⁠Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/thehannahhughes/⁠ https://www.instagram.com/bywordspodcast Shop my Amazon faves: ⁠https://www.amazon.com/shop/thehannahhughes⁠
