The Wheel is Gone!

 
The old has gone, the new has come.
HE makes all things beautiful in HIS time.

Have I stopped and really thanked Him?
Or have I been like one of the Israelites, complaining and wanting more?
Yikes, Oh, Jesus, thank you and forgive me for not praising you from the depths of my heart for the sweet, fine work you have done in Grace Crocker.

So, yes, tears roll down as I write this. Truly I was stopped in my tracks when I just returned from my walk/jog and noticed that G's wheelchair was gone.
No, not stollen. I had called, thanks to Teamability, this place called Project Mend that takes wheelchairs that you no longer need, and they had come and picked it up, but in my hurried days, had not noticed that they had come to pick it up. Probably a few days ago.

Yes, I've had it on my lovely list to write one of G's blogs, but it's been pushed down. Not now!
It's time to celebrate the fine fine things that the Lord HAS done in Gracie girls life.

Let's just start with the fact that she went to ENGLAND for 5 WEEKS with our family this summer. Yes, two 10 hour plane rides just to name one of the giant things she conquered. And she loved our time there! (was she antsy for her peeps at home, yes, but man was she a rockstar there? YES!)
She is running.
She is eating like a champ (had 1 and 1/2 peanut butter sandwiches one day for lunch while at the beach with our fam this summer)!
She is saying more words...backpack, right-here, shoes on... just to name a few!

Does she still have more words to say and a potty to go on? YES mam and YES Lord we are believing you for these things and more for her but right now in the middle of my Thursday morning I want to shout it from the mountain tops, Praise God. I want the world to know, the Lord of all has come to me. I want to pass it on.
