Mary Evelyn

We had a very special afternoon on Sunday. We had the opportunity to take Turner to "Cuts for a Cure" at Glamorama, a fun beauty shop in Fayetteville. What was super special about this adventure, was that Turner had the wonderful pleasure of meeting a little girl for whom she's been praying for 8 months!
Mary Evelyn is 7 years old and has neuroblastoma. She had been in remission and relapsed in January of this year. Turner's choir teacher at the time, Mrs. Collins, was Mary Evelyn's first grade teacher. She asked Turner to pray for Mary Evelyn to be healed, and Turner really took it seriously. Every night, she has prayed diligently for this little girl and has never missed...and had never even met or seen her. UNTIL SUNDAY!
Sunday, Mary Evelyn's family hosted an awesome fundraiser, and we made Turner an appointment to get her hair trimmed, so we could participate. It was lots of fun and a true joy and honor to meet such an amazing and inspiring family.
We will continue to lift them up in our prayers and are reminded that every day is a gift from God!
Turner's new "do!"
