Love the Life you were created for.
Open Handed Living is a lifestyle that invites you to live your fullest life.

You were made for something greater, you were made to live your full purpose.
inadequate, devalued, trapped in our circumstances, overwhelmed, stuck, longing for more, lost on where to begin and limited by our schedule.
Open-handed Living is an invitation into a life filled with purpose, get to a life you love, a life you feel fulfilled, a life that is rooted in Christ and radiates an unshakable joy. And let’s have fun doing it.
Freedom
A freedom that’s rooted in joy, A joy-filled life.
Fun
Life with Jesus is fun, Take back fun.
Fullness
You were created to live your purpose and experience fulfillment.

My open handed living journey started when Andrew and I got married in 2007. It was a growing process, like all new habits, but we have seen glory story after glory story unfold and fruit in abundance. There is nothing ordinary about our life; we stand out everywhere we go. I have countless jaw dropping stories of amazing miracles and heroic wins which I’ll share throughout these pages. Our lives are not easy, as none are. There have been peaks and valleys just like everyone else because living a life surrendered to God isn’t a free pass from life’s struggles. But we feel full and confident as we live this life exactly how we were created to live it, connected to our Creator, living surrendered and walking in obedience.

Open Handed Living is a ‘must read’ book for every Christian who wants to fully surrender their life to Christ. From her own experience, Anna Hurst does an excellent job of explaining how to walk with Jesus in the midst of a very busy and intense life.
From the very first page, I could feel the depth of Anna’s faith and the authenticity with which she shares her journey. It’s not often that a book leaves such a lasting impression. Her honesty and vulnerability in talking about the challenges and joys of living a life fully surrendered to God really touched me.
Let’s begin a new way of living.

Open Your Hands

Let go of trying

Live joyful surrender
Letter to my readers:
I know what it’s like, to want to feel acceptance, wanted and living with purpose. And Why not? You were made to live life to its fullest. Except there’s a problem, Yeah but what about constantly feeling stuck in my circumstances, inadequate, trapped, devalued, unworthy. I know I’ve been there. Yet I believe you were made for so much more than this. You were made to live your best life. Don’t worry, I know it feels like you just don’t have the time, I was there too. You just begin. I didn’t arrive where I am today in an instant, I walked the journey to open-handed living one step at a time, it’s okay to take your time. Open your Hands, Let go, and step into joyful surrender. Now, what are you waiting for? Take my hand, and let’s step out of your circumstances and into a lifestyle of open handed living.
