Explanation

So why did I choose the title "Everything Beautiful" for this site? Here's the explanation...seven years ago, my life fell apart. All of my hopes and dreams and plans for my life began to crumble. A year later, my Heavenly Father began the restoration process in my life and started putting the broken pieces back together but into a very different form than the one that I had been creating...I had been molding my life based on perfectionism and superficial pursuits. I believed that I was self-sufficient and that I could conquer the world on my own. How wrong I was! Unfortunately, it took some pretty tragic events in my life for me to see the error of my ways.

About five years ago, I still did not believe that my life would ever be beautiful again, but a friend of mine quoted Isaiah 61:3 to me: "...grant to those who mourn in Zion-- to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes,the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit;that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he may be glorified." See Isaiah 61 for full context.

I definitely believe that God is making everything beautiful again. I am overwhelmed by His goodness...He deserves all the credit for whatever is good and lovely in my life and for making me who I am today.
