Tristan, My new Favorite Artist, Autism & A Conference One and the same...

Is it not amazing how God can place you in the right place, right time and with the right person.... The day before yesterday I went to Vintage Village to look at my shelving unit for my "little" store! I decided to make a day of it, make a circle around the the two counties in which I was visiting and end up picking my husband up at our "big" store and going to visit Grandma at the nursing home. One of the stops before picking up Mr. Charming (my new name for him since I have a store!!!) was to drop by Goodwill (REALLY FAST) to see what was on going on! As I arrived and started to rummage though the "trinkets", I noticed this lady with a plunder of rewards of arriving maybe ten minutes before I did.... She was shopping the aisles before me and I could tell she was my kind of junker!!! She looked at me and smiled at the same time looking down into my cart. I had this beautiful wooden tray with cast iron handles for $4.00. At Michael's I would pay at least $20.00 for a tray this size to use for a project and it would not be half as pretty. She said,"I love the tray"..... I don't know why..... But I offered it to her, she offered me a piece of Milk Glass that I was admiring! From that point on we struck up a great conversation, ending up behind each other in the "forever until eternity" checkout line and then we exchanged information. She contacted me last night, leaving me this website...... It was after I read about Tristan that I knew why I met my new friend Ellen McILwain.
See, I know why God put us together now, Mr. Charming knows why I was thirty minutes late picking him up and why now Tristan Bramblett is now my favorite Artist!!!

Please, take the time to go and read Tristan's story, see how HIS life has changed because of parents who were willing to follow God in faith to do the right thing for their children and see what ART can do in a child's life...

Thank God for Parents & Grandparents

like Tristan's and his sister!

That brings me to another quick post~

Faye left a comment on one of my post the day before yesterday about Autism. I somewhat ignorned it until now. That is until God punched me on my sore shoulder yesterday and got my attention to look at it again because of Tristan

(TWO CHILDREN WITH AUTSIM IN TWO DAYS

HE WANTS MY ATTENTION)

Anyways.... I am posting Faye's post about an upcoming post on Autism...

This is meant for someone, only God knows, I am just the messenger....

Also... this is all God... I just visited my daughters blog and went to Lysa TerKeurst's blog to look at the scholarship information. I was not planning on attending the conference with my health problems, how could I. Plus, if Whitney doesn't get a scholarship with our store and the economy the way it is....IT WILL BE BY FAITH that GOD is sending Whit! But when I got there I hit Mr. Linky... LOL So, I also am going for a scholarship! And I might be going also!! Georgia to North Carolina... I can do it ~ If God can carry me!

Thank goodness my post was all about Faith today!

But God knew this all the time!

The joke is on ME!
