Thank you, Black Shirt Jesus



I had to post some pics of Mikey's Halloween photo shoot!  Our friends, Chuck & Becky, have a daughter whom Michael, jr is inevitably going to marry one day! We got this great idea to dress theme up together for Halloween. Becky has this amazing mother in law that can create anything by looking at a picture, so she offered to hand  make Michael's Mobster costume!
     I guess I had been too busy, but the day before our schedule photo shoot, I realized Michael needed a black button up shirt and a red tie to go with his costume. I had no idea where to even begin looking for something like that for a 2 yr old. I called the tux store, all too big. I called several dept stores and even looked on Ebay. I trekked down to the Quincenara store down by Sam Moon only to return with a red tie but still no shirt. Countdown is less than 18 hrs til the photo shoot. My only option left is to buy a white shirt and black dye. I am headed to buy the white shirt then to my mom's to have her help me dye it.  All day, every time I get in the car looking for this shirt I have been praying ,"Jesus, please help me find a shirt, or at least guide me to a solution for this problem".  My phone rings and it's my dad. He says "I am standing here in Burlington with a black button up shirt size 2T. " I immediately burst into tears and thanked him profusely. I began to think that I was silly for getting so upset about this shirt and praying for it to come my way. But then I realized that this is a prime example that there is no prayer to small or insignificant. So thank you dad and Black Shirt Jesus!
