The last 24+ hours have been nothing short of a roller coaster. What began with disappointment has ended with renewed hope, and somewhere in between, I was reminded that God has a way of redirecting paths when our own plans feel like they’re falling apart.
Yesterday, I lost my illustrator. After all the dreaming, planning, and advertising for Miriam’s Heavenly Tea Party coloring book, the news hit like a punch to the stomach. For a moment, I feared that everything: the timeline, the excitement, and the joy of sharing this project was about to unravel.
Instead of sitting in discouragement, I went to work. I interviewed potential illustrators, each conversation a mix of cautious hope and whispered prayer that someone would not only see the vision but also share the heart behind it because this project has never been just about a coloring book; it’s about creating something beautiful for children while supporting organizations that serve those who have suffered abuse of any kind.
And today, God provided. I found a new illustrator, through a mutual friend, who not only has the creativity to bring Miriam’s tea party to life, but also understands and supports the mission that fuels it. Their compassion and passion breathe fresh life into this project, and together we are moving forward with renewed energy.
Best of all, the printing of Miriam’s Heavenly Tea Party is still on track! What first looked like a detour has instead turned into confirmation that the right people will always come alongside when the mission is clear and the purpose is greater than ourselves.
Yes, the last 24 hours have been dizzying, but they’ve also been filled with grace. I step forward grateful, hopeful, and more certain than ever that this book will bless the children and organizations it is meant to serve.
✨ Pre-orders are now open! Reserve your copy of Miriam’s Heavenly Tea Party today and be part of a mission that brings joy to children and support to those who need it most.
