God Writes Beautiful Stories


God writes the most beautiful stories. A month ago I messaged my friend and hairdresser, Leah, my next appointment would require a buzz due to starting chemo. She shared the name of a lady who had just made a custom wig for another hairdressers client. She asked on my behalf and Yolanda said she would be happy to consult.


Saturday, December 19 I went to see Yolanda and truly the presence of God was there. I immediately felt a great peace. One of her clients, Gayle, was waiting on her husband to pick her up and got to hear my story. Before she left, she asked to pray over me and I felt such a deep love in my heart for her and Yolanda.
Today, along with my angel Sandy and Leah and Yolanda, we shaved my head. And Sandy is going to donate my hair to Locks of Love, which makes my heart so happy.

Miss Yolanda made me the most glorious custom wig - so curly and vibrant and comfortable. And then she went back to her shop and came back with another wig - this one custom made to look like my hair. A secret gift from Gayle.
I am so overwhelmed by the profound love of our Lord and the hearts and hands He moved on my behalf. Overwhelmed and humbled and so, so grateful.
Leah gifted me todays services, along with a fun teal wig (the color for ovarian cancer) and kept the spirit light and merry and bright - so bright few tears could enter - or stay long.
I’m like Mary - pondering all these things in my heart. I love you Sandy, Leah, and Gayle. You are my angels and I am so grateful. Thank you for sharing the burden and making it light.
“My heart explodes with praise to you! Now and forever my heart bows in worship to you, my King and my God! Every day I will lift up my praise to your name with praises that will last throughout eternity. Lord, you are great and worthy of the highest praise! For there is no end to the discovery of the greatness that surrounds you. Generation after generation will declare more of your greatness and declare more of your glory. Your magnificent splendor and the miracles of your majesty are my constant meditation.” Psalm 145 💕

Thanksgiving Day at the Magic Kingdom {♥} Happy New Year! Sorry I haven't posted since Halloween! We went on vacation for Thanksgiving Break {our families sent us to Disney!}, Elijah played the role of Amahl in Amahl & the Night Visitors, my parents came to visit, I was room Mom for a 4th Grade Christmas party, my sister-in-law got married, Christmas & New Year happened ... and here we are! Tomorrow I'm presenting a workshop on the organized home at our church's one day women's retreat. I don't know about you but I'm obsessed with organization. If you have a blog about organizing - I'll read it; if there's a magazine article - I'll buy that magazine; a show - I'll watch it. My friend Laura shares my passion {but my friend Susie says I have a problem} <--- which I take as a compliment {♥} We have four people {two of whom are still growing!} in a home that has 1,100 square feet. Organizing is my obsession - but it's also necess

Let Love Guide {the beginning}

This is it ... after a year of praying {many starts/stops}, a miracle {more prayers ... more starting/stopping} I'm finally posting! I just updated my "About" section {which I will probably rewrite over time} and in that section I explain my reasons for creating this BLOG. Truly it's a work only God could do {and full of miracles!} My journey into this brave new world actually began about two years ago when one of my cousin's posted a BLOG giveaway on her FaceBook page. The items were beautiful and I was intrigued what store was offering such a beautiful arrangement for free. I clicked through her link and like Alice through the Looking Glass I was transported to the beautiful world of Emily Jones I fell in love with her beauty, her creativity and how open and honest she was. Even though she lives {very}far from me, she felt as close as my closest friend. And, the art prints she created resonated with me. I bought {literally} every print she offered and sign

Never Undone

I took this photo on a drive with my family. I was praying to see God, to feel Him and then I saw this in the sky and this scripture came to mind, "Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?" Thankful for a God who pursues us.[/caption] "I waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined to me, and heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps." Psalms 40:1-2 Are you in a hard place? A season of your life where you wonder if anyone sees you {if they truly KNOW you} ... your friends, your family {even God} I know Christmas has come. A time of GREAT joy. But maybe that wasn't in your heart this year. Maybe you're stretched to the point of exhaustion. I understand. I've been in that space of struggle and weariness the past four months. My mi
