Well, My Day Hasn't Gone the Way I Expected it to.....

Sprained ankle (?) for Ana.....throws all my plans out the window....

We are waiting on the x-ray results right now.

I needed this devotional I read this am:

When we are puzzled by delays and detours, let us think about the great purpose of life: to glorify God. The lessons He wants to teach us "in the wilderness" are priceless means of providing us with a song we could not otherwise have sung: "In Thy constant love Thou hast led the people!" (Ex 15:13).  ~Elizabeth Elliot

A Monster Off Her Back......(& A Ruthie update)

OK……FINALLY!!!!

We have conquered the monster!

The monster of fear!

The fear of blood & pain……

& yes, the fear of speed.

Do you wonder what I’m talking about?

(Well, even if you don’t….you’re still reading this….

so you MUST be a tiny bit interested, right? wink)

Well....here you go!

Yep….we now have an official BIKE RIDER!!!

I remember hour after hour riding the circle of my cul-d-sac as a kid….no matter the weather.

What fun it is, to see her out in ours…..circling round & round & round again!

(Almost a commentary on the “circles of life," huh?)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now, Ruthie…..

She still isn’t putting any weight on her foot.

Masterfully, though, she hobbles around on one foot & the heel of her injured foot.

But, her NEW preferred method of moving around is a weird sort of hopping on both knees. (actually, she REALLY wants me to carry her everywhere, but alas…that is not to be-with an almost one year old in the house!) I wanted to bet a better video than this, but you’ll get the idea! Super cute, but…..oh, do I feel sorry for her!

I know her eyes are closed,
but it's the only non-moving pic I could get!
She is ON THE GO, in spite of her injury!


Please keep praying for her!
