Diamond in the rough

Today Emma came to us with this diamond she had found in the dirt outside La Hacienda (or you may know it as “La Ha”). At first I thought it was just some costume piece, but as we took a closer look we thought it could be real. It was large in size—maybe 2 carats! I’m thinking that there is no way it is real, but it looks sooo real. I called my friend who has experience with diamonds and he said if it was real, it would be worth around $20,000—Disney here we come!!! I took it to Zales to see if it were an actual diamond and not a “CZ” (I knew I had to find out before I booked Cinderella’s castle for Emma). Even the jewelry lady thought it was possible--but it wasn’t.

It was a good reminder for me. Even though my diamond wasn’t real, it could have been. God can do anything, in any way He pleases. It would be just like Him to send us to Disney World with a diamond that Emma found in the dirt. Now, I know that going to Disney isn’t the most pressing thing my family is facing, but it’s important to me. I really want to take my little princess to Disney while she is still little. I can’t wait to see how we get there. God has shown me over and over that he provides for my needs, but he also loves to give me my hearts desires.
