His Timing.

I have a lot of gray hairs. It's true. I distinctly remember pulling my first gray hair on my 12th Birthday.

My mother-in-law has the joy of coloring over them every couple of months, because I'm 29 and I refuse to go gray.

Proverbs 16:31 - Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is gained in a righteous life.

That's what the Bible says about gray hair. I should feel good about it right? I'm not sold on the idea. I think I have gray hair because I have to deal with morons. I know that sounds rude and I probably shouldn't say that - but at the moment it feels like the truth.

I won't bore you with the details but I am fed up with the medical profession right now.

I am spinning in circles and I would ask from the bottom of my heart that prayers be sent my way for favor from the medical community. I'm so aggravated at this point I want to call them on the phone and tell all of them you know what. But I can't. I'd really appreciate it if they would get their heads out of their rears, pick up the phone and make me some appointments. That's all we need to happen.


On a lighter note, I found this poem that my mom had given me when I was little. I didn't understand it at the time - but now that I have a little girl, I can see the truth in it. Thanks Mom.

To my Daughter

The sweetest memories I have in this world
are ones I have of my little girl
with shoes and dresses made of ribbons and lace
and a kiss you'd give with an angel's face.
Now those things are deep in my heart
and they can never disappear -
somehow my memories just keep you here.
You're everything I ever dreamed you'd be
and you mean so much to me
that I wish the world had the treasure I do,
sweet memories of a little girl and a daughter like you.

She wore these around the house for probably 30 mins. Even added a yellow pair on top of the green pair for a while. She's a goof.

  1. Oh Lela! I am missing your sweet family right now!
    Cling to his promises and don't let anyone steal, kill, or destroy what your heart knows is Truth. And remember this, no matter how many grays you have God cares so much about you he knows how many hairs you have- no matter what color they are!

  3. Praying for you, Lela. The blog looks great. Hang in there, and hold on to HOPE. You're beautiful no matter what color your hair is. Quick prayer even now: Precious Lord, I just ask that you grant Lela favor with the medical people she is and will be dealing with. Go before her and be her rear guard. Lead, guide, and direct the Drs. who will be helping them. Bless the whole family with Your peace as they deal with such a busy schedule this month. In Jesus' name, Amen.
