The Finishing Touch: On the Way to Becoming "His" Masterpiece—A Journey of Grace and Divine Design

Much like Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady—the beloved musical by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe—I began as a young woman shaped by circumstance—rough around the edges, yet full of God-given potential. But the Master Craftsman saw beyond my flaws. In love, he took hold of my life and began a gentle, transforming work, molding me into something beautiful, inside and out.The Finishing Touch was more than a ministry; it was a mirror of Christ’s redemptive love. Through it, we encouraged women to embrace their true identity as daughters of the King—chosen, cherished, and wonderfully made.As Philippians 1:6 assures us,“Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.”That promise is the heartbeat of this story—a life refined by grace, shaped by faith, and still held in the gentle hands of the One who never leaves a work unfinished.Though I stepped away after three years, my dear friend Cookie continues to cultivate the accessory side of our ministry.
