A mini-meltdown and a prayer request || On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from February 2009.

Karis came to me with an idea for her birthday cake. “Do you have a photo of what you want to do?” I asked. “No. It’s all in my head,” she said. Love her creativity! She totally pulled it off.
