Reflecting more on our trip to Valdosta and tracing the way it all began, I realize the way God connects the dots in unique ways! It all started with my meeting the beautiful and sweet Jill Higgins in Chattanooga, TN at a photographers gathering of Southern photographers back in November of 2006. The gathering was organized through Open Source Photo--an awesome photographer's forum created by David Jay, a very talented photographer and Christian. David is an amazing successful wedding photographer and speaker.
He teaches all over the world, and is going to be speaking at the Alive Christian Music Festival in Canal Fulton, Ohio this summer (June 18 - 21). He gives back in so many ways....Read more about him and Jill on their sites.Who would have ever thought that something so beautiful as our concert evening could have been born from events and people I met back in 2006?
I like to slow down and take time to see the way God works in my life. The busy-ness in our lives oftentimes keeps us from seeing His creative ways He works. Take time today to be thankful for something in your life, and trace back to see God's hands in it. You'll be amazed!

Yes, I agree about the way God connects things. Over the past few years, I've been much more aware of that. It is evident where I work--God has put me with so many great people. Also, with my friends and with Sister Grace. I found out this week that we are doing a retreat in August and the speaker's husband works where I work. Another guy visited the place where I work seeking a corporate sponsorship for Relay for Life. Lo and behold, Sister Grace will be singing at that dinner this coming wee. God is always making connections for us, but we have to recognize it. How awesome is that!
Thank you, Sister Grace, for such an inspiring evening in Quitman! We hope you will come back to see us again sometime soon. You got rave reviews! Dara
It is amazing indeed when you realize the connections! Thanks for being a blessing to our community!
Jill, Dara--thank you for being such beautiful links in the chain of our ministry. I hope all is going well with the Soul Sisters!
Yes, Steph--those dots are connecting through your work!
Can't wait for tonight singing for the cancer survivors--may God bless this event.
