the whole world in His hands.


I considered it a honor and a blessing to read each and every comment that was left for me this weekend. 
Each and every struggle.  Worry.  Burden. Fear.
It was a joy and a privilege to pray for each of you by name.  Asking God to extend His mighty love, grace, hope and peace over your lives.
Thank you for your transparency, your honesty. For wanting more, wanting better.  
May your days from here on be full. May they be free.  May you find trust and beauty.
May you fly.


The Sweet & Simple Birdie necklace is finding it's way to The Stews who shared:


"One week ago my unborn son was diagnosed with a blockage in his brain. A blockage that may attribute to or involve other neurological problems. Upon his birth, he will be in the NICU where he will receive numerous tests that will determine whether or not brain surgery can reverse his hydrocephalus. This week has been a week full of constant worry. I am worried for my high risk delivery, for my little one to be immediately in intensive care, and for the physical pain that he will have to endure. My husband and I have decided that we have dedicated Benjamin to the Lord and, while our initial instinct screams for us to panic, we are choosing to continue to surrender our little one to God and to trust that he has great plans for Benjamin's life. But my mommy's heart is still so anxious! This verse is one that my husband has encouraged me with and prayed over my belly since the diagnosis. It helps me to remember that my baby needs my faith and trust in our Savior and not my worry."


Will you join with me in praying for a miracle in Benjamin's life and peace over the Stewart family as they prepare for his arrival?


Thank you so much Lisa Leonard Designs for this beautiful giveaway and for encouraging us to fly.

    The perfect person received the giveaway, she needs a simple reminder of God's intimate care for His children. Lord, touch this family and Benjamin now, even as I type these words. Believing, as Debby said, for a miracle in this situation.

    May God be with this family. Pregnancy is worrisome time. Beautiful - but worrisome. God has a plan for Benjamin. I pray that when this Mama looks at this necklace she knows that there are tons of people out there praying for Benjamin's safety and a wonderful delivery.

    Praying for little Benjamin and believing that even now, God is at work preparing a miracle for your family and for Benjamin. Praying for God to wrap his arms around your family and let you feel his peace and his comfort as you prepare.
