Who does not love butterflies? They are fascinating to watch. My youngest
daughter, Diana, really enjoys butterflies. It maybe because when a butterfly
is born, it is born in the caterpillar stage and it is not very pretty. When the butterfly hits the chrysalis stage, it is transformed into something beautiful. I always tell her that God is working on transforming her from a pretty girl into an amazingly beautiful young woman. This is similar to what happens to us when we accept Jesus as our Savior. We are transformed into something new and beautiful. Our inside changes and it continues to change as we learn more and more about God. He is changing our hearts.
We just had to take Diana to see the Butterfly Palace. She loved being surrounded by all the butterflies. They had her and the rest of us glued to every move they made. We watched them flicker all over the place. Enjoying the Butterfly Palace was great family fun. It was also a perfect place to remember how God transforms the not so pretty stuff in our lives into something beautiful.

About Diane R.
I have been married for 27 years. I am a Christian mom who tries day by day to teach our children that God loves them and He has a special plan for their lives. I love spending time in the kitchen teaching my children to cook while sharing the Word of God. I grew up in an alcoholic home, but God still pursued me and I became a Christian at age 18. My husband and I have five children. Our oldest daughter, Carly, is currently in college studing pre-med. She hopes to one day go on medical missions. We have 15 year old twins named Casey and Caleb. Caleb has had 17 brain surgeries. He has a shunt, cerebral palsy, and seizures. God uses Caleb to teach our family every day what is important. Casey loves sports and Contemporary Christian Music. Our youngest two children, Jonah and Diana, were adopted at age 7 1/2 and 4. They are now 13 and 9. They have RAD (Reactive Attachment Disorder) which was caused by trauma during the first few years of life. It is a challenge to teach them everyday that we love them and God loves them. I currently have one child that is homeschooled, two children in public school, one child in a Christian school, and one in college. Life can get busy, but I have learned how important it is to always make time for God. You will see me blog often about the life lessons that God uses to humble me and draw me closer to Him. My prayer is that by sharing my experiences with others, it might help someone. I currently have a recipe blog at www.recipesforourdailybread.com, where I share our family's favorite recipes, favorite places, and more. You can read more about our adoption story at www.sweeptheword.com.
