I just saw one of your beautiful hand towels on Instagram and was reminded that I hadn't seen you on any of my social media for quite some time. I knew you were forced to move but had lost track of how long you were gone. I'll say a prayer for you, that God will lead and provide, and I'll be checking for you to come back!Kathleen Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01244725793473368501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207757245973773748.post-68366987817503424342016-05-13T16:00:21.228-05:002016-05-13T16:00:21.228-05:00Hi Theresa ...

Looks like you po...Good morning to you sweet Sara. Looks like you posted this on May 3, but surprisingly, Google just sent me an email update for your blog today; May 12th! I was excited to receive it because I had expected to be reading an update on how you are all settled in and selling your wares from another state, etc. etc. But, holy cow!, did life throw you some serious curve balls!!! Oh, btw, in case you do not remember me, I am the gal who lives on your oooooold street in Corona, CA :)<br />I am sorry that you are having to deal with so very much, but I am also thankful you have the Lord to lean on during these trying times (He will never leave you or forsake you.). Obviously this is all not yet complete, but just remember - you are building your testimony -. People will look at you and see how you deal with these trials, and wonder where you draw your strength from. Those who don't know Christ, may be touched by your response to these times. Those who do, may be encouraged in their own walks of faith. These are things that have gotten me through trials in my own life (divorce, moving out, starting over, etc.). Of course I broke down many times, but I tried so very hard to represent Christ well. Opening up to other Christians, truly helps, because together we all build a giant wall of prayer against the enemy, so I am so glad you have posted here and we can each add a brick to your wall today! If I may, I'd like to pray here and now for you:<br />Dear Heavenly Father, please bless Sara with the desires of her heart concerning her father, her sweet Flossie, her home, and her business. Please give her a comfort like no other, that washes over her, and her mom and dad today. Continue to guide them, and give them wisdom and direction for the future. May they represent You well as they move forward, and fall into Your arms daily, for support to carry them through. We are so thankful that You love us Lord and although we may feel broken, we know we have hope. We give You all the praise and glory today. In Jesus name, amen.<br />God bless you Sara! ~Heather ElizabethBlue Jeans And Teacupshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08149417042553799295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207757245973773748.post-6434278635032744482016-05-11T15:57:14.753-05:002016-05-11T15:57:14.753-05:00Hi Sara - blessings and hugs from the uk, for you,...Hi Sara - blessings and hugs from the uk, for you, your parents, and that precious dog.

Yes it's true I many times can only see the now and feel the now ..when he indeed sees the bigger picture. It's funny no matter how many times you go through things you still struggle to remember it's all going to be fine in the end. Maybe with some changes but nonetheless fine. Thank You for your prayers ! And Yes thank God for the mountains so we can see the beauty of his handiwork. <br />Hugs and Blessings<br />SaraSweet Magnolias Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05681270114340786635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207757245973773748.post-32422354007609034662016-05-04T17:57:16.452-05:002016-05-04T17:57:16.452-05:00Thanks so much Diana for stopping by and reading m...Thanks so much Diana for stopping by and reading my post !

In researching Flossies AIHA we did see it is also a people disease too .. just never met anyone with it until you. You must have been a sick lady. I know our Flossie is right now and it's a helpless feeling when nothing they are doing is working yet. Well I am so glad you made it through and are well now. I will sure keep you in my prayers that God will hold his hand of healing over your body for your lifetime. Medicine is a good thing but yes it has it's limitations too .. Well it's so good to hear from you .. It looks like we are going to be around for some weeks here in CA .. so I will be photographing the vintage market, if you happen to come I'll be there Friday morning so if you see me with my camera stop me and say Hi ! <br />Blessings<br />SaraSweet Magnolias Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05681270114340786635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207757245973773748.post-89249355809021960862016-05-04T17:51:02.666-05:002016-05-04T17:51:02.666-05:00Hey there Amy ...

I know I agree with you about God not giving us more than we can handle .. sometimes I wonder ..then I have to remind myself he know's our strengths. Over the Years I always have to reflect and say.. with each trial or mountain we have climbed it has made us gentler,kinder, more understanding and patient people. So there is always good to find in it all. I know right where Houston, MO is .. we used to live in Mountain Grove East of Springfield years ago. We though of going that way again ..but felt we needed to stick closer in (Nixa ~ Ozark) in order to be close enough to hospitals considering my dads anemia. Once we get there and settle in maybe we can meet in person one day. <br />Blessings<br />SaraSweet Magnolias Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05681270114340786635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207757245973773748.post-86860181201858554812016-05-04T17:45:48.616-05:002016-05-04T17:45:48.616-05:00Hi Mary ...

I have relatives in various towns in MO. and I was born there. I do hope if you make it your home you stay away from bodies of water! My aunt thought she was safe the second time but the water rose way high! I know how bad anemia can be as I almost died from it due to lack of good care from Kaiser as I had bled for a year (period like) and when changed insurance at beginning of next year I got help (1998). I was so anemic then that I had no red blood cell count. It turned out I had over 20 tumors in my uterus that caused it and had to have immediate surgery that doctor did not think I would survive! Kaiser then "lost" my records!! I do hope they find out what your fathers problem is so he can become healthy again, and will pray for you all.Rose Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180873324576064516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207757245973773748.post-2271417672466240502016-05-04T13:23:05.237-05:002016-05-04T13:23:05.237-05:00Sarah, I would agree sweet lady that you have had ...Sarah, I would agree sweet lady that you have had a road and a half to travel this season of life. Mercy, oh mercy! All I can is I have no clue how people deal with the un-expectation's of life such as this without Jesus. I just could not make it. It's times like this that is it is so hard to see that He is working all things out for our good and His glory. I have to remind myself at times....HE SEES THE BIG PICTURE AND ALL I CAN SEE IS WHAT IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME! One day at a time sweet Sarah...Praying for you now and for your dad.

I can't imagine how difficult life has been for you all after what you have been through. You have been through so much heartache, life has to begin getting better for you.

And then here you are. <br />I know this sounds weird, but I had the human version of what your pet has. It took 1 month of hospitalization in quarantine and a 21 unit blood transfusion. Then months of steroids. But all is better now.<br />And I was wondering about your Dad. Sorry for the hard time with his anemia. As much as we expect from medicine, how is this now figured out? But he sounds like a strong man, and I pray for you all.<br />I first started following you after my first visit to Rainbow/Fallbrook Vintage Market. <br />I am a regular to Murrieta . <br />Being selfish I hope you stay in California, but you go where the heart leads you.<br />By the way, I participate in a Vintage Market on Claremont, very small but a good group, if you'd like to see about joining us. Very cost Effective!!! <br />Please keep us up to date on all things. <br />Barbara AnnBarbaraAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05281442541208777659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207757245973773748.post-76985266996334967272016-05-04T12:26:41.821-05:002016-05-04T12:26:41.821-05:00Phew....

I've thought of you often and wondered how things were going, thank you for opening your heart to us. Hope that your journey (when your pup is well enough to travel) to Missouri goes without incident. My husband and I retired a little east of Springfield MO (Houston) and we love it here. Taxes are great and many friendly faces. Prayers of healing for your fad and dog.
