Diary of Destiny: A True Story of a Miracle is a truly inspiring one about a young child battling cancer and her mother's diary entries....sharing with us her deepest thoughts as she takes us through a journey that was painful, yet miraculous and life changing!
My friend Lindsey, now a beautiful 25 year old and cancer survivor who was healed from this terminal illness, is the little girl in this story who dealt with cancer at only 18 months of age. Her story, told from her Mom's perspective (Normajean Ashburn), is a touching and thought-provoking one. She has put together this collection of diary entries her Mom had written during this very difficult time in their lives so that others who may be going through similar hurts and sorrows would know that there is hope in God. He is a miraculous God who is there for us every step of the way! Even if you have never been through a similar situation, we have all had hurts of some sort and a story such as this is an amazing reminder that we have a God who loves us and wants the best for us...it will truly touch your heart!

Ever since we had Kaelyn we hear so many people tell us who they think she looks like. It seems that my family tends to think she looks a lot like I did as a baby and Scott's family seems to think she looks a lot like him as a baby. When Scott and I look at her we see certain features that remind us of each one of us. We've held baby pictures up to her as I am sure many parents do when they have babies...it's just been such a fun thing to do.
Many people who are not family also like to give their opinions as well. It's fun to hear what people think outside of the family as well. I recently came across a really great tool on the My Heritage website that I thought could give it's "opinion" just for fun. It is called the Look alike Meter. I placed a picture of Scott, Myself and Kaelyn in the meter and based on the faces it detects who the child looks most like. I know this is not a scientific tool by any means, but it was still fun to see what it said as a result. After putting in our pictures I got the following result. I really thought it was neat that this tool came to the conclusion that Kaelyn looks like Scott and I equally!! I guess every body is right when they say that she looks like me and Scott!!
