In the midst of this working, Ellie has made some serious progress. Once again, praise the LORD for poo! Ellie has told us she had to go poo the past 4 out of 5 times this week. Well, she told us all 5 times, but one of the 5 she had already started going before she told her daddy...or until he realized what she was telling him. She had been telling us just seconds before she needed to go. Twice in the past week, though, she told us and had to sit a few minutes...which I think tells me she's learning to read the earlier signs of a BM. Praise the LORD!!!! You know, I want to see her walk, I want to see her dance, and I don't want her to ever worry about BM's in public.
At a family reunion this weekend, Ellie said, "Mama, when I get my brace off, I'm going to walk, and I'm going to run." My heart melted. She has often talked about walking, but she's never mentioned running. Oh, to see her run! And, you'll hear me shouting all over the world!
Last night, my heart melted again. Josie-Tatum was making a card for Ellie in church. She had hearts on the card and had written, "I love you beycus you are my sistre." How great is our God, who ordained that these 2 girls living in different parts of China, would find the same family on the other side of the world.
I can't help but praise him!
Do you remember the pleasure of picking wildflowers and taking them indoors?
Memories of my childhood....when most of the time I was barefoot--
