Snickerdoodles…I did not expect the emotional roller coaster ride these delicious cookies would send me on.

Let’s backtrack a little bit… I had never heard of snickerdoodles until I met my hubby. His mama would often bake them and fill up a ziplock bag full for him to take back to school or for us to travel home with after a visit. And, I’ll be really honest: they have never been my favorite type of cookie…BUT my hubby and my kids LOVE them…so they were always a staple in our home.

Enter week 3 of Baking for Izzy…snickerdoodle week. Tuesday is baking day and this particular Tuesday, I did not want to move off the couch to make them. I was very heavy with grief the day I was baking and each movement felt like I was walking through knee deep mud. I was honestly ready to just pack it up and not continue one with this series. However, I knew going into this…there would be moments like this. Moments where the pain would be so severe I would want to stop and do something else…to run from the ache…but deep in my heart, this is something I want to do for Izzy. So, with the Lord’s help, I was able to make the cookies…and not only make them…the Lord used these snickerdoodles to bless my heart…

I take great delight in making yummy things for my hubby…so while the snickerdoodles were still warm…I snuck out to his office and left a cookie for him while he was in a meeting. The precious reaction I received from him brought a smile to this heavy heart, a smile that may have never come if I didn’t get off the couch to bake that Tuesday.

And, the joy didn’t stop there…I decided to give some of the snickerdoodles to a couple who is near and dear to my heart from our church. I dropped the cookies off for them on a Wednesday evening and the next morning received the sweetest phone call from the both of them…they were raving about how delicious they were, that they wanted some more, and that they loved cookies from Izzy…her name…I got to hear her name, again. And, that right there was all I needed.

Their phone call was followed up by the sweetest text about these being t

“They aren’t just plates…” is what I told my hubby this morning…They are an evidence of God’s grace, His healing, and His nearness.

Since losing our daughter, Izzy 4 years ago…I have struggled to let go of things…even down to a candy wrapper I found of hers in the trash. When you loose a precious love, items that seemed trivial now carry incredible importance. As the years have gone on, I have tried to cling tighter and tighter to anything that reminds me of my girl. However, the tighter I try to cling…the Lord continues to work on loosing my grip.

Enter in plates…I have had a set of IKEA plates for over 20 years now. They are ugly and filled with so many knife marks. I have been wanting to get rid of them for years. However, after the loss of my girl…I just couldn’t do it. My sweet hubby, even bought plates for me this past Christmas. I thought I was ready…I even asked for them, but right after Christmas I returned them. My heart has not been ready to let go of those marked up plates. They hold precious memories, they hold laughter and tears, they hold delicious pasta and meatballs, they also hold burnt casseroles…they are apart of our family of 5 and I treasure them.

However, this past weekend, while wandering the store with my hubby, I found these gorgeous plates with cobalt blue florals (each flower containing 5 petals, a nod to my family of 5). They took my breath away and I paused…Am I ready?? Well, I bought 2 because I was scared and I wasn’t sure, but after seeing them in my home I fell in love and went back and bought the whole set.

Friends…these plates “they aren’t just plates.” They represent healing, a step forward while bringing Izzy with us. They represent my grip loosening and taking a step out and must trusting. They represent hope…
-hope of enjoying time around the table
-hope of more laughter and tears
-hope of our tiny little family growing as we pray for spouses for our children
-hope of hosting and ministering to others
-hope of yummy meals and even the burnt ones.

“They aren’t just plates…” They are an evidence of the kindness of the Lord. He is so

Meet my Lorrie piece, sweet friends…named after a someone dear to my heart…

This piece is perfect in all its imperfections and I love her. She is currently sitting on my back porch ready to be filled with all things fall 🍂and excited to hold pretty pots and the hope of spring as the seasons change. 🍃

I found her on FBMP and jumped with excitement…her state was lime green and maroon, but her bones were stunning! She was worth all the sanding a stripping to see her shine again…and it brings such a smile to my face to see it out my window every day.

For you sweet Lorrie!💛
