Grand Edits Feature Stories

All of life is a draft. We look ahead with expectations and hopes of what the future will bring, but so often, circumstances beyond our control force us to rethink our plans. So we edit our pages, making grand revisions, determined to create a narrative that is beautiful, albeit messy — our own shabby, yet shimmering story. Welcome to Grand Edits, a guest-post series about revising, adapting, and overcoming.

2016

June Grand Edits Guest Feature: A few people have asked what happened to the recent Grand Edits Guest Feature about the adoptive family from Indiana. We decided it was best to tuck the post away until the adoption is complete. We hope to bring it back soon! Thanks for the kind thoughts and prayers for this couple as they journey through the process of becoming family.
