The ballet...

Tutus.
Ballerinas.
Live orchestra.
One little girl in pink.

A dream came true last Saturday for Ella.
And what a wonderful day.

Thank you Pastor Mark Driscoll for preaching this sermon.
And thank you sweet Jessika & Carlie that worked here, who heard the sermon and wanted to help...
and so they got tickets & backstage clearance for us all.
And thank you Pastor Mark & Mars Hill Church for blessing us with the best meal we've ever had after the show.
And thank you sweet Julie from Canada, who doesn't know us but bought Ella her beautiful pink ballerina-princess outfit so she could go to the ballet in style.


Oh, there's so much to the story, if you missed it...this will help catch you up. 
And her story just keeps getting better.
Because it's His story and He has a wonderful little plan for her life.
No, I take that back...not a little plan, a big one.
And we have a front-row seat.

Backstage tour...

Ella with ballerinas Jessika &Carlie (who made this all happen!)

Peeking through the curtain...
 
Always observant...

Daddy & the princess..

Girls & their shoes...

Sweet ballerinas...

Talking with Jessika after the show...

Jessika & Ella...striking a pose!

A very special gift...

And her face says it all...

Praise the Lord. PRAISE the LORD. I love having a front row seat on your lives... shoot, I'd pay for a balcony view. :-) God is sovereign. AND. God is good. Ella is beautiful and her parents rock.

Praise the Lord for generous pastors like Mark Driscoll and people like Mars Hill.

Good stuff...
