"The world teaches us to think we are unattractive, unacceptable, and unworthy of love if we don’t meet the arbitrary standards it sets for us. Sometimes it’s hard to turn away from such loud and convincing lies, but our Father in Heaven will always be there to remind us of our worth and of the value He sees in us. His standard, not the world’s, is the true measure of our worth. The more we believe and accept the Lord’s love, the more we will love Him and trust in Him."

"Yea, come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny yourselves of all ungodliness; and if ye shall deny yourselves of all ungodliness, and love God with all your might, mind and strength, then is his grace sufficient for you, that by his grace ye may be perfect in Christ; and if by the grace of God ye are perfect in Christ, ye can in nowise deny the power of God."

An Uppercase Living demonstrator, Diane Kreminski, is experiencing a miracle right now in her life. A new granddaughter Lily Grace Dally.
Here is a touching message she sent explaining what was happening.
Dear UL family,
I am here in Nashville living at the Ronald McDonald House so I can be close to my blessed granddaughter Lily Grace Dally. She was born July 3 at 1:38 am in a pretty terrifying situation, but God was present. I confess I am still struggling with it all, but I am extremely grateful in every way. I flew down here Fri. am 6/29 and we were hoping for another 7 weeks of complete bed rest for Lily to grow before her arrival. We only lasted 4 more days , and I praise God I was here when it happened. I won't go into details except to say the Dr. told us from the start that even if we were in the OR when the membrane tore ( from the vasa previa) we could have an "unfortunate outcome". It was truly the most horrifying night of my life and much too late to wake people with calls. Thanks to Uppercase, I have my sweet sister Kathy Kendrick who I hoped would be up late in Calif. I couldn't even reach my husband in Buffalo! I texted Kathy and she texted me right back to let me know she was praying. That was so powerful for me. So to update, my daughter is doing well though exhausted from being at every care round the clock(every 3 hr) and pumping like mad ;) She won't be able to hold Lily for a couple of weeks yet. Back on a ventilator till her lungs get stronger. She also has a large hole in her heart which is looking like trouble. They would like it to close on its own, but there is a med. they're using. The next step would be surgery . Impossible to even think of! She is lively and sweet and really working hard to take over that ventilator and breathe on her own. 2 1/2 lbs and 14.5 inches of miracle;) I can barely breathe when I look at her. Please keep praying for that hole in her heart to close because they said its really big. I know God can take care of this, but it wouldn't hurt to hear from some prayer warriors:) Thank you all for your prayers and words of support. I can of begin to tell you how much they have meant. God did hear and that's why my Lily Grace is here with us!
Way out of the loop on all my UL biz. I can't get the new catalog to come up on the website and mine were mailed to my home in NY. I meant to give a shout out to Nashville ladies to get me a catalog which I would pay you for.
Here is the response she received from the other ladies at Uppercase Living:

Tonya Fowler Andrews OMG...I totally teared up when I read this. My first son was born 6 weeks early and it is so scarey when they are so little. I can however tell you he is now a healthy 14 year old boy. I am sending lots of prayers your way and hoping for the best for all of you. A big hug from this UL sister to you!
