A Blessing from above in my Childhood Sketch Book..

The past couple days..I feel like I've aged like 10 years..

just from the stress of moving...the heat....

having two babies in the heat and moving.

And then being so exhausted I feel like I'm extra emotional. With my grandfather being in the hospital...and missing and still healing from the killing of my best friend, shannon...I just felt drained. completely and utterly wiped out. And I felt like I could see it in my face. I was taking a moment to sit on the ground to unpack a box and of course had my little sidekick "helping" me......

And I came across this sketch I drew randomly one day when we had just moved to atlanta when I was little. I didn't know shannon yet...

I have called Shannon my Guardian Angel...

asking her to help me be to be a good Mommy..

And when I saw this old sketch, my heart was just overflowing with joy. 

There she is!!! And that is sienna or sophie in the backseat! It's Shannon's curly hair...her joyful spirit shown through her waving her halo on her finger tip. 

Thank you Jesus for this blessing from above.

It lifted my heart..and encouraged me to keep moving forward with a joyful and patient heart.

I needed this.

I'm framing this in our house on our gallery wall..

It is going to be such a great reminder of my angel watching over me!

Aren't things like this incredible? 

I was a little girl..I was just doodling..and now it is serving to help me heal so much!
