It is late Thursday night. I am not able to sleep so I thought I would just write tonight. These last three weeks have been incredible. Today, Iliana used her legs to initiate standing up. She couldn't stay up of course, but she showed that she wants to. It makes me cry to think of how far God has brought her. I wasn't sure what to expect after 3 weeks of therapy. I think I just didn't want to expect too much and be disappointed. I can't possibly explain the excitement, and even relief that I feel when I see her do something that in
the past almost seemed impossible.
With God all things are possible.
I've heard that said so much. But the greatest thing about it is that not only are the big things possible, but He cares about the little things just as much. What a loving God we serve.
I used to think to myself, "why did Iliana have to be this way, why her". But why not her? All I can say now is what an honor. I'm honored that God chose her and I'm honored that he has allowed me to take a small part and witness His loving and miraculous work first hand. The great thing about it is that it doesn't stop here. His hand is at work all around,
not just in Iliana's life.
Our last day is tomorrow. We will leave for Jacksonville following her therapy. Please pray for our safe return. We will see all of you soon.
I couldn't download the pictures, so I will post both Thursday and Friday's pictures this weekend.
