Plans Change

As you all know, Araella's plans to go to college this year came to a screeching halt a few weeks ago.

Plans change.

This weekend another plan changed… A friend of Araella's had planned on shaving her head - with Araella or in support of Araella.  One way or another, that was her plan because Araella could have faced the side effect of losing her hair this week. Guess what?!

Plans changed!  

Instead of shaving their heads together, they laughed and painted and juiced and worshipped together. Araella got to spend a little time on a college campus and I got to do a little college student laundry =D

This year hasn't turned out the way we planned.  Not at all.  But God knows the plans for our future and they are good and full of hope! (Jeremiah 29:11)

This picture was taken for me because I was so sad about not being able
 to take a picture of Araella on her college dorm bed four weeks ago…
A resilient reminder that in spite of changed plans,
joy still abounds!
