Maggie's Rainbow of Colors

At my June 11th writing Maggie had just left for a week at church camp. Kate and I traveled the two hours with our friend Renee midweek and enjoyed a visit at camp and some great praise and worship. Maggie had a wonderful week at camp and said she wasn't quite ready to come home:) Tears filled my eyes and tugged at the hearts of many others at church on Sunday morning when Maggie shared before the congregation that her week at camp was an awesome experience. She said she learned that God is always there for her and that she can lean on Him. She shared that it has been a difficult year for our family but she learned that she didn't have to be strong, because God is always there for her and He also has given her friends and family in her life with whom she could share her concerns and cares. What a beautiful thread of gold, God wove into the tapestry of Maggie's life as she grew in her understanding of her heavenly Father.

A bright splash of colors flooded Maggie's day upon her arrival home from camp.
In Maggie's absence Kate and I orchestrated a "While You Were Out" and gave Maggie's bedroom a make over. Maggie's dream room burst into colors of bright orange, laudable lime, magenta pink and calypso blue with fun accents of gerber daisies. Our drama princess did not disappoint us with her reaction as she walked around the room touching each color and decorative touch saying over and over "oh, my goodness", I can't believe you did this for me.

Maggie's dance recital was absolutely beautiful! We are so proud of Maggie and marvel at the beauty and grace that mark her ballet and lyrical dancing. Watching Maggie express herself through dance is like watching the sun glisten on the rain and make a beautiful rainbow of colors.
