Any work of art takes time.

‍In the case of a tapestry, it starts as an idea. The weaver gathers the raw materials and the tools to work them-thread, needles, shuttle, loom-prepares them, weaves them, and tamps them. Slowly, bit by bit, an image starts to appear; however, it's not until completion that the designer's vision is apparent.

Randy Valimont wasn't sure what to make of the raw materials of his life. At first, he couldn't see how anything beautiful could be woven from some of the threads-a birth mother who abandoned him without looking at his face and birth father who didn't even know he existed-that made up his life. However, in the hands of his heavenly Father-the Master Weaver-he saw the threads of his adoptive family's unwavering support and his own faith, natural talents, training, and perseverance intersect into an intricately woven tapestry.

Before he was born, the Master Weaver had a plan to use Randy-in his family, community, nation, and world-for God's glory. Randy's story is that of a man destined to share the hope of the gospel of Jesus Christ for this life and the next-one thread at a time.
