Wow, what surreal moments have encapsulated my emotions over the last few years. From love lost, new life given, multiplications of second chances, and a future looking so bright........

Hope is the heartbeat of my life.

There is a scripture verse that has run through my mind the last few days.... "all things work together for good, for those who love Him, and according to His purposes." When I fret, fight it, or feel like I need to take matters into my hands, nothing happens.

The more I surrender, the happier I find myself. Happy doesn't pay the bills but keeps me on the right path. And then.... He has a chance to work in dynamic ways because it puts me on the offensive in my prayers. Persistent.

We had a group of about 11 females at our first Bridal Dress fitting today; it was like a "Say yes to the dress" moment many of us have viewed. Many surreal moments for myself and perhaps Meredith, Evan's mom, as this was envisioned years ago, in grade school smile emoticon

We continue our journey tomorrow with another large event in Ardmore, PA. I imagine her dad is looking down, watching this whole process unfold, and quite happy with how in love his baby girl is. I am very glad Evan knew her dad.......

I am trying to find this balance between work, love, and life, as it seems my work load has only increased. It is new territory for me, but as my book is titled, I am going to take this territory, and figure it out. I am not in limbo, nor am I in transition, it is a very new place for me -

Uncharted.
