Johane got to talk with her family today. It was a lot of... we...bien...we...bon..followed by CONTACT..., some explaination and again....we..... contact.
How does an eight year old explain a contact to her parents an ocean away?
I can't even begin to imagine.
She is very happy with it. She managed putting it in all by herself today and came upstairs to show off what she had accomplished. she showed it off to everyone atchurch today. When I told her that I was going to take her for some pictures tomorrow, she made a modeling move and posed for me. She definately gets the idea. She wants deux (two) photos so her mother can have one.
We are starting to think about what kind of things to send back with her. Her birthday is April 25th. She tells me that at least once or twice a day. She is very excited about that. I showed her some gifts I had for her and Johanna, her twin. She reassigned the gifts to other siblings. She is very good at sharing.
She enjoyed swimming with Deb on Saturday again. NO FEAR...no skill either. So the little lady has to be watched carefully.
Her family is disappointed that she isn't having the surgery. They were also hoping for a miracle. Weren't we all?
I can't wait until they see her with her contact in. This little lady feels good about herself. Isn't that enough of a miracle for us? She looks towards the camera, not away, she poses and cheese-cakes for the photographer. That is all new. We have the miracle God intended all along.
"My ways are higher than your ways"., says The Lord.
Thank you Lord for knowing what was needed and supplying that need. Forgive us our selfish disappointments and wishes. Give us a heart like your heart and Let us rejoice in your gifts. In Jesus's name. Amen
