renewed!

(soon I will actually post pictures of my family, promise...)

...but for now, I wanted to share this for any of you who have been following this story. For a few months now, I've heard off and on as well as seen many auctions, fundraisers, bake sales, concerts, 5K runs, etc. held on behalf of a couple who were burned from a plane crash in mid-August.

My sister Janna was over here recently and she pulled up a the blog of the burn victim, Stephanie Nielsons sister, Jane. She read a few entries to my mom and I and all of us were in tears listening to their amazing stories of faith & love.

Their love story seriously seems like your classic fairytale, or a great Hollywood script that has yet to be put on the big screen. If this is as far as their story goes, that's okay with me because it has touched my heart so deeply and I think it's one that should be told over and over and over again.

A few articles that I have read over the past few days have not only brought me to tears, but they've renewed my faith and belief in the power of prayer more so than I ever thought possible!
This one was fabulous! It, more or less tells the "story" of what happened and so much more.

How can you not believe in miracles after reading this post from her sisters blog, or this article?!

I just went to a benefit concert on Sat. that Mindy Gledhill performed at FOR NIE NIE. It was amazing. I'm planning on posting about it one of these days....

I'm so glad she just printed a book of all her blog postings. She writes so beautifully and poetically.

And yes, Donut Man! Glendora! Glad we found your stomping grounds. Yum Yum.
