She'll Never Walk

The BEST doctor in Guangzhou told us a few short days ago, our little Libbie would never walk unassisted, or even bear her own weight. He didn't know our girl or the power of our Great God. Now I counted 25 squeaks!!!! Lambert asked me this morning if I really thought she would walk on her own. He was full of doubt and concern. (He is a mother hen full of worry all of the time!) While Hoot and I took a nap she started letting go of the sofa, testing herself. When I woke up she put on a show! My heart sings with joy!

Psalm 71:14As for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more.

    Even the best doctor didn't understand the power of prayer did he?

    What a precious little girl!

    She is such an inspiration to watch. All she may need to reach her dreams is the love and support that you all continue to give her. I am so happy for your family, and I thank God you made it home safe.
