Hope and Light for a New School Year

This summer has been filled with so much joy. A season is ending, and a new one is about to begin.

When Tatum entered my life, she literally lit me up with joy, and she continues to light up (with smiles, laughter and something special) everyone around her (and especially ME!).

I figured these shoes would light up her day especially when she finds herself in a scary unknown place. Starting new things can be somewhat mysterious, so these shoes can represent a joy in her step as she lights up her hope!

Can I get an AMEN!?

The promise of her bright future is something I pray for daily.  Just like God gives us His promises in this rainbow,

I know He’s watching out for her…

With so much love. (Thanks you Jesus for providing a way back to HIM!)

This love and BLESSING was so apparent this morning when we arose. First, I had to give her a special gift so she knew the garment closest to her body was filled with my hugs.


That’s right. Days of the week undies, and today is Wednesday! (her first day of Preschool.


She made sure she had an Apple Watch to match, so she whipped out her scissors, glue and paper and got to work.


Ok, now we are ready

Now, what we are about to discover could only have come from God. He heard my fears, cries, and desires. I did not even know what I was praying for, but He interceded, translated and answered. Stay tuned.

Sweet Tatum, you are on your way!!! I love you so very much.
