Page 3 of 3 {mosgoogle left} While waiting for my children to be dismissed, I was approached by a woman who had heard about my dream to start a Christian doll company. With a heavy heart, I passed on the latest news about the 30,000 dollar price tag. This sweet woman grabbed my hand and led me to her car, where a check for exactly 30,000 dollars was stashed in her glove compartment. Her husband had given her the money that morning to use as she saw fit—and she simply asked, “May I cosign it to you?” God’s grace is truly sufficient for me.Time, treasure, and talent: when I gave God my “three fish and five loaves,” my meager resources, I was met with His extraordinary grace, like the renowned doll sculptor Dianna Effner, creating the Girls ’n Grace doll. When board rooms of men gasp at the site of such a “life-like, joyous doll,” I know it is God behind the scenes communicating in practical ways the amazing attributes of His grace. The books have given me a chance to spread the message of grace-filled living creatively. I have had the opportunity to bring some diversity into the mix and to explore other regions, cultures, and historical periods like the 1960’s through the lens of God’s grace. Grace is always the authentic commodity that people seek, yet sadly we tend to substitute God’s authentic grace with a myriad of empty counterfeits. Through the books and dolls, God is allowing my dream to be realised, engaging girls—mothers, daughters, and grandmothers—in the good news of God’s grace, which is exclusively in Jesus Christ. He is the one who gives inexhaustible, unmerited benefits that afford us joy, pleasure, good will, and thanksgiving, with the essential benefit being spiritual life.
