“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” – Romans 15:13

“Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise Him, my Savior and my God.” – Psalm 42:5a

Mallory –
What a blessing it is to be a part of this Good Wishes Quilt and thus be a small part of your life. You are a lucky little girl – you have been placed into an awesome family Mallory. They love you so much! As much as your family loves you, there is One who loves and adores you so much more than anyone here on Earth could – your Heavenly Father.

Our prayer for you Mallory, is that you would put your hope, faith, and trust in the Father who created you. We pray that you would know Him as your Savior and that He would fill your life with joy and peace.

You are a blessing and a reward from Him! (Psalm 127:3)

(Note – Jeanette should have extra jewels in her crown in heaven for putting up with me along this journey. She was the “guinea pig” in adopting first, so I could learn from her. She continues to teach me, uphold me, talk me down from metaphorical ledges and has become an amazing friend. Thank you, Jeanette! I can’t wait for us all to meet and for our children to be playing side by side!)

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “Plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.” – Jeremiah 29:11

We pray that you always look to your Lord when things get tough. He alone will give you the strength to accomplish anything you set your mind to.

How I love the little things
Like ladybugs with pretty wings
And bees that buzz to welcome spring
How I love the little things

How I love the living things
Like flowers that smile and birds that sing
As all the world’s awakening
How I love the living things.


May you find joy, magic and love in each and every wonder of life!

“Dance like there’s nobody watching
Love like you’ll never get hurt
Sing like there’s nobody listening
Live like it’s heaven on earth
And speak from the heart to be heard.”
